hasn’t leon and company passed the marshmallow test a few times already?

as far as the poll, i like grimes a lot but obi just looks like such a unique athlete out on the floor – he’s like the fastest guy from end to end in almost every single game – that has got to be worth something…

in the nba easy points can be hard to get, both quik and obi on many occasions can get you easy points…

similar to how strength is such an important aspect for RJ and julius’ game, speed helps both obi and quik a lot…

And I listened to Zach Lowe and Tim McMahon discuss the Knicks trading for Mitchell and it was like, well the Knicks should pay a lot for him, but he won’t actually make them a great team since many teams in the East will still be better then them. I mean then why do it? The basic answer seems to be because they can afford it and other teams can’t. That’s ridiculous. You make an offer related to what he’s worth to the Knicks. You don’t pay more than that just because you happen to have extra picks.

I could only watch three quarters (on tape delay) before I had to go to work, but I didn’t Sims was bad. The announcer was right, when he was dragged outside to defend a three by a big man, the Knicks couldnt back him up inside. He did make sone mistakes but overall he was probably a positive.

Of the 2 games I watched Grimes was taking a lot of contested 3s from 5ft behind the arc. I assume he’d shoot better if anyone could draw a 2nd defender. Otherwise we really should send him to Utah.

I really didn’t love what I saw today from any of the “Big 3” of our summer league team. None of them looked like legit NBA players. Maybe the Mitchell rumors got to them.

I did like Jeffries, wonder if he can have a future in the NBA.

That was a bummer. Oh well.

Deuce still can’t get through the teeth of the defense. That’s a problem. And Grimes generally didn’t shoot well from three throughout, even though I very much believe in the shot overall.

***I think not making a trade or at least not making a huge offer is off the table.***

Yeah, I think it’s kind of moot to discuss who should stay and who should go because ALL these players and picks are just movable parts for the star that Leon Rose is most certainly going to cash in for. The big question this week is whether Donovan Mitchell is the player to cash it into, or whether one of the 20-30 player in the league that are better than Mitchell are going to become available sometime this year. That’s the poll question that Rose is asking of his FO. (And, honestly, I’m not sure how they can answer that, as Dejounte Murray was probably one of those players and they let him walk right past them.)

While it was nice to Grimes show off some game off of the bounce during summer league, I hope he spends the rest of the summer making sure he can knock down his spot up threes- he has to shoot it better than he did in summer league to be of value.

Well poll results be damned, Grimes stunk today.
