Aha. Thought we could do some Aller-nastics and include the Dubs in the Nets trade.

Bo, we’d have to trade for Looney, since the Warriors guaranteed his contract. He doesn’t fit into any of our exceptions, and the only salary we have on the books who would work under the cap is Donte, and… no.

Spitballing to reduce Center anxiety: Kevan Looney?

Warriors guaranteed his contract. They’re likely going to trade him (presumably in a package for another player to help match salaries), but at $8 million, I don’t think he fits here.

I thought that the Knicks had a real chance at keeping iHart once he didn’t automatically accept the OKC offer, but I guess as it turns out, he HAD accepted it right away, and just waited until later to announce it. That’s too bad.

And quite possibly our starting center, at some point. I have more faith in him than most, but still I’d like a better option.

Dylan Painter is playing in Europe. Sign Arcidiacono back, too.

I hope Sims works like crazy this summer and gets better since he is now our second string center.

And for the love of G-d and all that is holy, it’s Jericho *Sims*, not Simms. This has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood Doogie. 🙂

I’m waiting very *impatiently* for the next chess move.

I don’t like “they’ll address it at the trade deadline” *at all*. We’re 50 games into the regular season at the trade deadline. I want to be able to run a “whole team” out there at the beginning of November.

I think Ayton could work, but he’d have to do a lot of work to shed his reputation of “low motor,” “takes plays off,” etc. that he has right now. Thibs obviously don’t play dat. I could live with Ayton for sure, but not if Thibs won’t play him. Ditto for Wiseman, who I want even less. For the second overall pick, he’s pretty much a bust. And I think it’s even *less* likely that Thibs would give him any minutes than it is for Ayton.
