The thing that jumped out at me in the Stein article is that KP and Janis had already asked for a meeting earlier in January and cancelled it. Combine that with KP spending less time around the team, and it wouldn’t be hard to guess it wasn’t going to be a positive meeting. I’ve been in that situation, and the mind immediately begins spinning through what bad scenario is going to go down. Combine that with the reference that the Knicks had quietly begun talking to teams about KP, and it isn’t hard to deduce that the Knicks correctly assumed KP wanted out.

In that context, getting the Dallas deal done quietly, under the radar, with a package that would be difficult to match, was actually more than competent. Impressive, in fact.

I’ll be curious to hear what turned KP against the team, finally (“the truth will come out”…dum dum DUM!). But in the end, it doesn’t really matter: the relationship could not be salvaged, Perry recognized it, and took action before he became a hostage in a situation the player controlled. Good work. The only thing I’ll get out of KP’s side is whether and how loud to boo him next time the Mavs are in the Garden.

What do ptmilo and a team that doesn’t score after a turnover have in common?

They both fail to capitalize

Ba dum bum..

I pretty much just lurk on these boards and read posts as I can’t really compete on knowledge with most here but I had a question that’s been bugging me.

There is no shame in contributing whatever you’ve got, so long as your response to empirical arguments isn’t, “Well I seen otherwise, and my eyes have never been wrong.” We tend to be a pragmatic bunch, doing the best we can with the limited information we have, and betting based on risk aversion rather than blind optimism. Well, at least some of us.

Welcome.

sorry i was typing while tending to a 2 yr old and running low on time. risk adj turnovers is the opposite of curated it is just a shorthand for turnovers relative to usage but not bref usage; usage inclusive of assists. there was actually a guy a few years back who did have some highly bespoke version of risk adjusted turnovers that isolated unassisted shot attempts and also made some adjustments to TOs i can’t currently recall bit this wasn’t that.

milo digging deep into his secret statistical stash once again…

i don’t know – if we plan on going from 16 wins this season to 40 plus next season – we’re not doing it with dennis smith jr at the point…

if we strike out on the private reserve free agents and don’t decide to add 2 or 3 mid shelf free agents, it would seem like smith jr would make an excellent choice for point guard next year as we once again play with a roster full of shake level younger players…
