    Do you think Leon will make some adjustments now, until the deadline, or do we ride with this team to check how they fare in the playoffs against the other contenders/pretenders?

    It seems like a seller’s market, so probably what Owen said. Nick Richards seemed like a bargain though.

    Hot take: Wild at Heart — not Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway or Eraserhead — is my favorite Lynch film. Love the characters in that film like no other in his filmography. Willem Defoe’s bravura performance as the seedy Bobby Peru gives us one of the most underrated villains in cinema history.

    If that’s a possibility then Leon needs to apply for an injury exception immediately

    Jake Fisher was simply speculating about scenarios. He did not indicate that he has any inside info to merit that concern. No news there.

    Its funny how life is full of small incrimental changes that make the end of things seem like whimpers instead of bangs. Pete Alonso was a fixture of my Mets fandom for years and now it seems that I am placidly ready to let him go without much fanfare or angst. It took a series of minor steps to arrive at that point but here we are. I don’t know if other fans empathize with my attitude towards that shift, but I recognize that life is a lot like that, you know? You realize that there is no singular final moment. Even death, the most final of events, can be understood as the culmination of a lifelong process of aging (and hence dying) a little bit each day.

    Sorry for the existential rant this morning, but the thought just illuminated upon me and I felt the need to share it with the group.

    The deadline to apply for the disabled player exception was the 15th. Even if we could have applied, the DPE does not subtract salary from your roster or remove luxury tax or apron consequences. Because we’re $500k from a hard cap, the exception is effectively useless to us.

    ras, quite a post! Seems like the dying a bit each day theme in the context of losing out on Pete Alonso is in itself a tribute to David Lynch’s world view.

    “There’s a time to live and a time to die
    When it’s time to meet the maker
    There’s a time to live but isn’t it strange
    That as soon as you’re born you’re dying”

    I am not a David Lynch fan. His stuff is too weird and dark for me.

    There’s always The Straight Story. It’s been a couple decades since I’ve seen it, but my recollection is that it’s the least Lynchian film in existence despite being directed by David Lynch. Worth watching.

    Alonso is coming off two not-so-great years, and I know he’s probably not a very wise investment, but I’m getting kind of concerned about how the Mets are handling what is looking like a gaping hole in their lineup. As of now they don’t have enough bats, and honestly they don’t really look like they have enough arms either.

    If they’re basically done shopping and don’t add some more significant pieces, they look like a fringe playoff team, even with the addition of Soto.

    I think any action before the deadline is dependent on which way the Knicks want to go long term.

    1. If they think Mitch can come back and be healthy and want to take a good look at the Towns/Mitch pairing, then doing nothing major for now makes sense.

    2. If they are not confident in Mitch and/or want a backup that can have a similar role to Towns and be able to score and shoot some 3s for when Towns is out, then trading Mitch for Jonas Valanciunas makes some sense.

    3. If they have some 3&D+ PF (or other player) in mind to try to pair with Towns in the off season, keeping Mitch as a trade asset make some sense.

    A lot depends on what they think of Mitch, what they can get for Sims, what they think Hukporti’s prospects are for next year and stuff like that.

    The horizons on Mitch have been receding for some time now. I don’t expect to see him healthy and on the court any time this season, or really ever again.
