Re: Are you satisfied with the direction of this team with their off season moves?

Dca, sorry if you got riled up. Didn't think anything said was so controversial. JMO but a good practice in business is to avoid an unnecessary risk, especially if the benefit isn't realistic or better solutions are likely if one is patient. If I understand you, then we agree far more than disagree...

Re: Are you satisfied with the direction of this team with their off season moves?

. Yep, once you start overpaying for role players, the costs quickly escalate, we wind up paying max money for guys that aren't top 10 nba players. Just not sustainable, extra hard to construct a contending team. Sorry, missing the point entirely. Read the posts, don't assume you know what they say....

Re: Are you satisfied with the direction of this team with their off season moves?

Leon played a weak hand expertly, up to Thibs now to make them play as one. Again, I don't mind anything Rose has done but "expertly"....I am not so sure about. He wanted Heywood but got outbid (plus Heywood wanted Cha so that was that) and I did not like that potential signing at all. Th...

The only signing I liked in FA was Christian Wood at 14 mil per... I like what Leon brings to the table I really dont mind anything Rose has done this offseason, no real "dislikes" and you always have to give a guy a couple of tries at it to see what they can do. If he makes the Knicks in...

Re: Are you satisfied with the direction of this team with their off season moves?

^^^ it is somewhat scary but just remember, Julius was a midtier FA. Guys in that tier are necessary but do you really want to overpay to attract them and then cash strap yourself when the top tier becomes available? Lastly its always fun for the media to make fun of the Knicks and make it seem lik...

Re: Are you satisfied with the direction of this team with their off season moves?

I keep having to remind my self of a simple fact that keeps bad teams from getting good....if you don't draft well, it can take a LOOOONG time to dig out of a hole. Need proof? Look at the Jets, they are awful. But ignoring last year's draft and looking past that you can barely find a drafted player...

Re: We Should Have Kept Marcus Morris

We were going nowhere with Morris... He was on an expiring contract... and he is 30 years old... What would you pay him in the summer? Morris did exactly what he was brought here to do... raise his value so we could trade him to a contender for picks or young players... yup, exactly. This is one of...

Re: Can Thibs and Payne save Randle's career?

Randle is a "fit" player, he has to find the right spot to be most effective. Reminds me a lot of Zach Randolph, maybe it's the lefty thing. Randolph had a similar rep, talented but didnt seem to fit in a structured offense until he found the right spot.

Gobert vs. Mitchell

Well, the media seems to want to spark up some talk about the rift between Gobert and Mitchell and how it could lead to one of them getting traded. Seems like it might be an interesting topic to bounce around abut the general NBA and I guess you could say it could effect the Knicks. If it got to tha...

Do you remember the bombs he would launch up :) He was way ahead of his time. Announcers would say how he was not a big man and should be playing inside. He actually got ridiculed for it but kept launching.

So far, so good. Luckily no symptoms yet in my family and I can work from home. We are still allowed to sport alone, so jogging is currently part of my routine. But no sports to watch? :sadno: Time for some sports history though. When I find the time, I'm reading this: https://images-na.ssl-images-...
