I’m hanging in there Geo. Next Wednesday is the big day for me. I’m just trying to relax and think positive thoughts.

howdy g-man…been thinking of you…beautiful soundtrack, listening to it now, like bluegrass stuff…

i listen to a bunch of slow instrumental music…lots of ocean waves, babbling brooks, waterfall – slow beaches are just the bomb…like a soft metronome…

i have one of those bamboo waterfall things (saw it in kill bill), i know it probably drives the neighbors crazy…got some of those singing bowls too, don’t use them as frequently as i probably should…

birds are cool too, particularly the rain forest ones…

real is always better…

green noise works well also…ha, i keep fans on all the time around me…hadn’t really thought about why i do that…

getting from point a to point b in the most pleasant way possible, at times 🙂

It should be noted that Leon did NOT want to include Donte in the trade. It was insisted upon by Minny, for good reason.

Bizarrely, it sounds like that while that is definitely true (that Minny insisted on Donte, the Knicks weren’t initially willing to do so), it was the Detroit fake first that was the final stumbling point. The Knicks had apparently agreed to Randle and Donte a week or so before the deal got done, but Minny insisted on the Detroit fake first, as well, and the Knicks finally gave it.

Who would have ever thought that that pick would have been a sticking point?!

Thank you Nurse Ratchet! I should start listening to this in the morning before I take my own.

one huge positive – we are a very living in the moment group…reflecting briefly on the past, bit of contemplation for the future…

feeling ever every game/quarter/possession to the max…

yep, and here we go with game 2 of the nba season – not an easy task, particularly for a group of new-to-each-other players against a team that can get up and down the court, with a few real good starters, and a few more real good role players…

and to make matters more scintillating – game one of the most important games in the last decade and a half for the yanks…

medication time…

Brother you wanted to trade 6 firsts and McBride for Bridges. Some shittier picks, but a more valuable rotation player. The Knicks more or less did what you wanted, give it a half season.

There’s an abyss between punting and trading every asset that isn’t nailed to the floor, and it’s ludicrous to suggest the Knicks somehow would’ve been punting on this season if they didn’t give up five picks for Mikal Bridges.

The Rockets competed during the Warriors era but they never sold out to do so. They stole James Harden and Chris Paul.

We traded the farm. And in so doing we made the Celtics the benchmark. If we’re two tiers below them now, that’s a real problem, not something to casually brush off.

Dunc’d on gives you a nice broad coverage of the league, but nate duncan is a blowhard and danny leroux hedges everything he says like 4 different ways. They do have some interesting guests sometimes, definitely worth a listen to see if you like it more than I do.

Dunc’d on Basketball and Knicks Film School are 2 good ones.

G-League draft speculation!

@TheSteinLine
The rising expectation in @nbagleague circles is that Westchester will take Matt Ryan and Landry Shamet with the top two picks in Saturday’s draft … Shamet for the purpose of supervising his rehab. The Knicks have strong interest in signing both as the NBA season continues.
