NFT: Knicks @ Celtics 7:30 pm

Del Shofner : 4/7/2021 11:10 am
The two teams are tied in the standings and have pretty similar stats. Celts coming off a loss last night to the Sixers. Not ready to use "Knicks" and "big game" in the same sentence yet, but if the hope is to make the playoffs...

I'd be shocked..  
Jan in DC : 4/8/2021 10:48 am : link
if the Bulls didn't invest in Lavine long term. They basically decided to not blow it all up, and went all in with the team that they had. I can't imagine they'll blow it up after a half a season.

Beal is a possibility, but I think it'll have to be a player that forces his way to NYC.

He is a free agebt after next year, they can offer him a max extension but if he wants to leave he will

Who are you thinking? Beal? I gotta imagine LaVine is off table with the Bulls dealing for Vuc.


Chicago can’t trade Lavine after the Vooch deal. They gave up their own unprotected picks. He also has an outside chance at All NBA and become eligible for a supermax this summer.

Lonzo has to be their top priority. It’s beyond the point that need to use that cap space.

Beal would be great but it’s going to be costly and a ton of teams in on him. I’m all for it but he will be tough to get.

Not a lot of teams have the draft picks or the cap space needed to get it done..it will take a lot though

Yes, I don't see Chicago dealing Lavine. As for Beal, I'm all in on him, but he really sounds like he wants to stay in Washington. Does that change? Perhaps, but this isn't a dude-at the moment-looking to flee the DMV.

Yes, yes, yes on Lonzo this summer.

I dont see hoe Beal could be happy coming back next year with Washington, but who knows..

Lonzo is a must
It's funny...

a player like Chris Paul or Fred Van Vleet would be great for this team now.

If they can't land a big player via trade, I wouldn't mind them giving Kyle Lowery or Mike Conley big 1 year deals while they try to find the third star.

Outside of the true superstars, I think Van Vleet would be the perfect fit for what the current Knicks weaknesses are. But at least they have cap space....
Randle needs to play point  
adamg : 4/8/2021 5:48 pm : link
But he needs to shoot less too. He should be feeding RJ the ball. RJ should be given some time at point to develop. He's not great handling, but he's getting better at driving and dishing. He's making smart plays. I'd like to see Randle and RJ taking similar amounts of baskets: 20 each.

I think Burks is our best 1 on the team, Rose included. Burks just needs to be better about not taking every shot he can.

I like Rose and IQ coming off the bench. Burks starting at the 1. And Elfrid Payton on a spaceship to Mars.

Burks-Bullock-RJ-Randle-Mitch is probably our best starting lineup with the personnel we have. Obviously, Noel is in there for now.
IOW I agree 16

Rj drives me nuts sometimes but right now hr is best with the ball in his hands and spacing on the floor

Didn’t Van Vleet make clear that he was not interested in leaving Toronto? How is that situation the Knicks fault? And Paul also said he wasn’t interested in the East coast because his family is on the West Coast. So, yeah.....cap space.

Non Knicks related, but this is the upcoming LAL schedule...@ Heat, @ Nets, @ Knicks, @ Charlotte, vs. Boston, vs. Utah, vs. Utah, @ Dallas, @ Dallas...

I'd love a 2-7, 1-8 stretch...all which is entirely possibly with no LBJ/AD.

I would love-LOVE-for somehow the Lakers to fall into the play in tourney.

If he was offered more money you don’t think he would of have left? Those are the reports but he also stated himself on a podcast that he was looking for the biggest pay day. We’ll never know because the Knicks never offered him.

I just didn’t understand why the Knicks never even took a run at him. I know I’m beating a dead horse but I just would have loved him on the Knicks. And he would be fix many of the Knicks current weaknesses.
