Cdiggy, if you start talking about Kobe assists, we will know the hat has claimed you.

Really off-topic: i’m at a Nuggets/ Lakers game right now. Lebron is playing. Rondo has hit 2 3s, which is something given that outside shooting is expected to be a struggle for the Lakers. They’re athletic, and they can run.

THCJ’s boy Jokic is no joke. No one can handle him in the paint, and he’s been bringing the ball up some.

And before any of you ask: it’s a family outing. Though I am being forced to wear this generic Lakers hat my gf’s dad passed out. Help me, guys.

Any two-way contract can be converted into a standard contract, the player then gets paid the minimum according to his years of service. CBAFAQ says that if that happens the two-way contract gets voided, which probably means if the Knicks turn Trier’s contract into a standard one they should be able to get another two-way player, yes.

It’ll be interesting to see if Trier can grab a roster spot from Baker or Dotson. If the Knicks could move Lee by attaching a second-rounder I’d do it but I think it’d take more than that given how many teams want cap space this summer. If the Knicks do make room to sign Trier to a regular contract do they get another two-way deal? There might be some intriguing guys floating around after teams make their final cuts.

My second takeaway from the game is that those of you hoping for a terrible team and a high draft pick may be disappointed. Washington’s a team that is expected to compete for a playoff spot. It’s true Howard didn’t play, but they still played Wall, Beale and Morris and our youthful energy got to them. We won the game on the road when they clearly wanted to win too. We’re not going to be great; but we will get better at not making mistakes as the season progresses, and we could give middle tier teams trouble if they are not on their game.

I finally watched the game. In the first half I was so disappointed in Ntilikina. I want him to succeed. But he didn’t have any impact on offense and twice he was passed the ball down low and just passed the ball away instead of shooting, and the passes just reset the offense instead of creating something. But then he started the second half, looked very good, took shots when he should have and the Knicks went on a run. I have no idea why the difference, but I hope he keeps the second half stuff up.

Giving Willy away for nothing was like hitting yourself in the nuts with a hammer just because you’re bored

Willy is definitely better than Kaminsky, even in this brave new world where Anthony Bonner would be a stretch 5. Seems like he’ll take his spot backing up Zeller as long as Zeller can stay healthy.

Except it was a preseason game, so it doesn’t count. Still -517, I guess.
