In reply to Nick C..

THJ did seem to seriously dislike Trier.

It must be Mudiay, even though he technically passes the ball a fair amount. He seems like the kind of guy that feels the need to call that out.

IIRC THJ and Burke were referenced in the article.

In reply to Grocer.

I’m just hoping for uncommonly competent. That’d be amazing.

I’ve said this a few times, but it is staggering to me that the Knicks, just by being who they are, are always going to be a theoretical destination for the world’s best free agents because players do want to play here. So Knick GMs have proceeded to cap the team out for something like 18 of the last 20 years. While the team was terrible for most of that time period!

So yes, all you have to do to be a decent Knick GM is not clog up the cap and you might get two stud free agents to come team-up here. So far, it looks like Perry is hitting that very basic level of competency that has still evaded most Knick GMs (including his current boss).

Trier was a black hole but it’s funny that it’s almost certain whoever was complaining about him also didn’t pass

I’m not trying to be cynical, just agnostic. We just don’t know enough about who Perry and Mills identify as valuable. It’s really hard to call them geniuses when they took Knox at #9

I’m just hoping for uncommonly competent. That’d be amazing.

I don’t understand why folks think Kemba is in play. He apparently wants to stay in Charlotte and they apparently want to give him all the money. All that seems more solid than the KD rumours.

Kady & The Roomers is a good name for a Knickerblogger house band.

The Nets are a team I like more and more each day. They will never replace the Knicks for me, but as a Brooklyn native I like that they’re giving Philly a hard time this series.

This is a great thread!!
I’m going to suggest that nobody mentions Knickerblogger to Kevin Knox.

Exactly what I was thinking.

In reply to bidiong.

A minor point that came up the other day that surprised me is that a bunch of Knicks apparently thought that Trier was a “cancer.” Bizarre, right? Berman said:

“His play on the court was cancerous,” a source tells Marc Berman of the New York Post. “A lot of guys didn’t like the way he didn’t play team ball. He cared about himself too much. He looked guys off who were open.’’
