That’s 100% trolling. He likes to fuck with people on social media.

It’s childish, but, well, social media is childish, so I can’t begrudge it too much.

I’m not betting on RJ, either. But I’d bet my house that the delta between IQ & OG’s trade value is very narrow. RJ and that pick (and Grimes and those picks, for that matter) should have been saved instead of squandered.

If you sincerely think the post trade Knicks were a strong title contender before Randle got hurt that doesn’t make any sense.

I think “impact on winning” has to factor into this at some point. Maybe I’m nuts (well… I certainly am) but I see a huge difference between OG and IQ.

I’d rather have Sims start all 82 games for the Knicks than have Boone manage another game for the Yankees.

My prediction: Jericho Sims will surprise a lot of people this year (no jinx).

Do you think we’re getting Lopez or Capela for non-core pieces?

If we do, it’s because everyone thinks they’re washed.

Halfway through the season is 41 games. To be 10 games over .500 is at least 26-15, which is a 52 win pace.

Exactly. Given Mitch being out and Julius taking time to get back to his best, I think 22-19 is likely. And to answer Brian, I don’t think it’s that bad because we already expected Mitch would be out until December, so it’s probably just an extra month, and ultimately the time we really need him is for the playoffs. The less he plays at the beginning of the season, the better. And I combine that with BBA’s observation, which is that in EVERY season, Thibs’ teams play much better as the year goes on. So if we’re around .500 and then Julius rounds into form and Mitch comes back and is healthy by the All-Star break, we’ll still win 50 games and be where we need to be for the playoffs.

If we do better than that early in the season, great! It’s possible that our offense will more than offset our weakness in the middle, and our OG/Mikal defense will be good enough to have us at 26-15. But I’m not counting on it, and I won’t panic if that’s not where we are.
