Then one can read the post-ASG schedule.

Remember when Joe Rogan had that COVID conspiracy doctor on his show and his fans were all, “You say ‘trust the science,’ but when we bring a doctor to discuss COVID, you still get mad!”?

Yeah.

Holding onto Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel, because maybe your team of veteran mercs on market value contracts might turn it around and start making a real push at that #10 seed… that’s not the good kind of patience.

One difference being Grimes is a ROOKIE, with 587 minutes of professional playing time so far.

Oh sure, not damning Grimes overall, just noting that that one play was very much Ben Simmons Game 7.

which may be dumb too, but there’s certainly no urgency to clear cap space, so it’s a meh non-move for now

There isn’t urgency to clear cap space if they don’t want cap space for this summer, but if they do, then the time to get it very much was this trade deadline, as you’ve now lost the ability to acquire an expiring contract from a capped out team. Now, any trades to clear cap space would have to involve the teams with cap room which are generally bad teams that have no need for Burks/Noel, so you have to give sweeteners.

That’s a very interesting story, Max. Basketball is a small world indeed.
About Barcelona, should we bring the coach (Jasikevicius) along with Rokas? I was very impressed with the way he manages the team, in the time i watched the game.

Former Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors Sarunas Jasikevicius? 😉

He is very good.
EL is a coaches league like the NCAA and the brand of basketball very structured and team oriented (only 14 players are scoring 15 PPG or more, it’s unbelievable). Rokas’ numbers would be much higher in a no-defense league like the G-League.

This board preaches patience but then gets mad when we’re…..patient.

This board doesn’t preach anything as a one-size-fits-all solution to every problem.

Sometimes patience is the right move. And sometimes waiting too long will blow up in your face.

My italian team’s POBO is argentinan legend Luis Scola.
A month ago with the team in disarray and inching to relegation he decided it was time for drastic measures so he changes coach and GM.

The new GM is former Knicks’ director of basketball strategy and capologist Michael Arcieri (he was here from 2017 to 2020 and he’s a Scott Perry’s protégé since his Orlando days).

I just discovered that Arcieri was recommended to Scola by one of his closest friends, who was Scola’s guest in Italy at the time… Gersson Rosas.

Basketball is a small world.

Brian Cronin: The Knicks have about a million seconds that they never use.

Exactly! And no moves, or meh moves, or whatever, that is only good if you’re in a good situation. We clearly need to make some moves, so to not make use of the times when you’re allowed to make those moves, is bad. There’s no other way to put it. Would Pat Riley stand pat with this roster? Would Ujiri? Nah, of course not. But we should be happy that Leon did nothing wrong.
