2017-18 Game Thread: Knicks @ Suns

My apologies, I thought that this game was tomorrow night.

The Knicks are actually up nine in the 3rd quarter!

Let’s go? Knicks?

What the starting lineup should be:
KP
Kanter
B Easy
THJ
TBke(?)
That’d be fun to watch at least….

The Knicks main line up needs to be Burke, Ntilikina, Hardaway Jr, Beasley, and Porzingis even if that isn’t the starting line up. That means we have to trade Lee, because he’s too good to be playing behind Frank Ntilikina.

Trey Burke might be a decent offensive PG.

Wally speaking a bunch of jibber jabber about making a playoff push. Just bench Jarret Jack.

Looks like Cousins May have torn his achilles; not official yet.

Now it is, damn it 🙁

@9, yeah Wally needs to relax. We beat Phoenix and Brooklyn and now we’re a playoff team lol.

New Orleans has been aggressive in the trade market, trying to add wing help and shooting to fortify a playoff run. Devastating blow for DeMarcus Cousins, who would’ve made his first trip to the playoffs and entered free agency off his most successful pro season.

Also there’s no way we’re out tanking this Suns team.

Pretty much. But they can still get into the top five! They won’t, but they could!

Does that mean that they’re still going to go for the playoffs?

I’m not sure if this means that they ramped up trade discussions before or after the Boogie injury.

It was pretty obvious they needed to bring up Burke by 12/1. That could have really helped the team.
Also, am I the only one disappointed by us losing Nigel Hayes for no good reason?

Wally needs to calm down, but I agree with one thing he said, Frank can sit and Trey should play. Trey is the real deal. I’ve been clamoring for him for a while. They need to sign him to an extension as soon as they land in NY. Give him 3 years @ $2M per right now. In a few months his price goes up to $12M per. This is Jeremy Lin but with a better pedigree.

I would actually offer Kanter, a future 1st and cap filler for Boogie right now. I might even be willing to add Willy in lieu of a 1st. Ruptured Achilles is a tough injury to come back from, and if the Pels are still serious about the playoffs, they probably should consider it. Better yet, Perry should offer Noah and Willy for Cousins and a 2nd. Let Kanter, KOQ, and Kornet have the center spot while rehabbing the shit outta Boogie. That would be the most shrewd move ever. You know what? Kanter + KOQ for Boogie straight up. Final offer.

Well we can’t have everyone, so the question is, is Hayes worth more than those we kept, for example, Trey Burke.

Boogie is an expiring contract. We’d get a lot of cash off of our books. We’d also clearly be tanking for this season. So I would consider it. I think New Orleans would too. I think for them its really important to make the playoffs this year.

I really feel bad for Boogie. What a blow. My fingers are crossed for him.

I’d be looking to trade Nawlins O’Quinn and Lee right now. I hope Boogie recovers fast, but they need players and we have them.

I would have given Hayes either Hick’s or Kornet’s spot since we already have way too many bigs. He seems like just what we’re looking for.
