That sounds like something a GM would say about a player when they want to trade him but don’t want to diminish his market value by saying how they really feel about him.

The Mavericks might be looking to move Dennis Smith Jr because of a belief that he can’t play alongside Luka Doncic, according to a report by Marc Stein. Opposing GMs are monitoring the situation.

I guess Dennis Smith Jr is an okay prospect (aside from not being productive), but it feels like the Knicks’ thing to do to not tank properly, end up missing on Doncic, and then trading Frank Ntilikina to Dallas and watching him thrive off the ball next to the guy we should have been aiming to draft last year in the first place.

Happy holidays everyone!

It’s actually less than 14% because there a non-zero chance we do something stupid like passing on Zion when he’s available to take Barrett instead.

Would you take Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert over Kristaps Porzingis and Zion Williamson? I know, 14% percent chance at best of that happening, but either way Porzingis, a top 3 pick, and Fizdale is better than what Brooklyn has.

Knickerblogger: where patience comes to dies a most painful and torturous death. Y’all don’t really do patience well.

Haha. I’ve been visiting this site since the mid-2000s and the Knicks have been the worst team in the league, bar none, since that time. We’re not talking about a slow rebuild here… we are talking about no-rebuild.

The Nets made one of the worst trades in NBA history not that long ago. A franchise crippling, fan crushing move worse than anything the Knicks have done. And yet, here they are, rising from the dead through decent management and they layer development.

And the Knicks struggle on.

Don’t confuse impatience with disdain. One is for the passionless. The other is for that witching moment when love turns to hate.

Knickerbloggers know the difference.

Without shedding too much salary the Nets can sign two max FAs and run out a starting 5 of Dinwiddie, LaVert, Kawhi, Durant, Allen. AND they’re playing good basketball now. If we were in that position I’d be ecstatic.

lonzo will be fine… i never thought his upside was all that big to begin with but he’s making underlying progress… particularly his conversions near the rim…

the nets have a much better collection of young talent than we do… even if you assume kp will be a fringe allstar type….

kurucs and levert .. their last two 1st rders are currently running circles around our last two…
