Tank on towards a better draft pick….

Baker seems like a cool dude, but he’s pretty much what people said he was: the 16th man on a 15-man team.

I get wanting to see the young’ns more, but I can only hope the plan is to “showcase” the vets for now, especially to teams like Washington. Beasley is becoming a legit trade target.

Trae Young is gonna turn this franchise around. And if he doesn’t get the opportunity then we need to get Jalen Brunson.

Burke won the Wooden award. I have no memory of that.

just speculating but they could be holding on to burke because they want to deal jack … if they deal jack they can hang onto sessions and have at least one veteran pg if burke doesn’t pan out…. right now they would have to waive sessions…

it could be that and/or waiting to use the 10-day contract….

Maybe we should put Beasley in the starting lineup and make him the #1 option. #WalkingBucket Porzingis should do better as the 6th man off the bench. 🙂

Sad to say the way KP’s been playing lately the Knicks might be better off. In his last 20 games going into tonight he’s had a TS% of .494 on 31.4 usage. That’s horrific.

“When something makes absolutely no sense (like not bringing up Trey Burke), it usually means you are operating with incomplete information.”

Or it just means we’re talking about the Knicks!

I’m still 100% not confident in the front office’s ability to not poop in their own pants, so I’d still chalk it up to just general incompetence.

Hornacek absolutely lost me over the last two games. Jack/Sessions in the fourth one game, playing Lee/Jack/Lance/Oq/Beas these minutes while giving guys like Kanter, Frank, Willy, Dotson less minutes than their aged counterparts.

He’s coaching for his job, and he sucks at it. At least I get the tank I want

In reply to Stratomatic says “NY basketball is back”.

When something makes absolutely no sense (like not bringing up Trey Burke), it usually means you are operating with incomplete information. I have no idea what that might be, but there’s probably something about him we do not know that is making people cautious about signing him.

As noted before, other teams tend to wait until 10-day contracts are available.

The Knicks, though, are most likely just dumb. Appealing to authority with the Knicks is rarely a sound move.
