New York is looking at various avenues to upgrade its point guard depth behind Jalen Brunson, sources said, while the Knicks also continue to evaluate center options because of Mitchell Robinson’s ankle surgery. Although with Murray in favor of a fresh start, according to sources with knowledge of the situation, it seems questionable that adding the former All-Star to pair with another ball-dominant lead guard like Brunson would have much different results than Murray’s partnership with Young. Of note: When Atlanta and New York discussed the 2022 trade that brought Cam Reddish to the Knicks, the Hawks valued Quentin Grimes during those talks, sources said.

Just when they need a few games to serve as a measuring stick, they’ll be staring at BBQ Chicken for a month…and these guys, these days, – don’t play with food.

I could see the Wizards throwing a ridiculous number at iHart. He’d slot in nicely next to Kuz and Poole to the furthest extent it’s possible to say anything nice about Kuz or Poole.

I could see this because the Wizards are the kind of franchise to contract someone like Bradley Beal $500M to play basketball for them and not break 50 wins once over the course of those payments, with no end in sight

so yeah, give the role player $80M over 4, Wizards

do it

(It was Grimes for the Knicks, I presume because RJ was already traded, but clearly the writer hasn’t watched the last few games… I think my call at the moment would be Small Sample Size Precious…).

The only reason it doesn’t is because the word beat should be POUND.

Our fact checkers would note that we only won by 6. They’re even worse sticklers than Doogie.
