Cousins waived. Do we drop WCS for a slightly better WCS (at this stage of his career)?

No more fucking around… last night was the kick in the pants I needed to get this framed. My sports icon will live on my wall until my days are done.
What's the story behind that floor piece?

I hope Josh Green keeps getting minutes.

The rookies from last year who needed a little development got fucked by covid.  A lot of time with nba coaches and summer league was lost that would’ve helped them get up to speed a little quicker.  He’s a plus athlete whose shot appears to be improving.

They also chose not to play him this past summer for some stupid reason.

Wasn’t he riding the bench for the Aussie national team?  

He was but still came back for summer league. I think he was in Vegas they just didn’t play him.

Only 1 rookie left from last year's draft.

There was a local artist putting them together years ago and was able to get Dirk to sign a bunch. Another Shaggy poster hooked me up, maybe 6 years ago. Seems like a fun thing to pair with the jersey!

Josh green completely changes the dynamic when he cuts to the bucket without the ball. So many of our possessions driving to the bucket used to end with an outlet to a 3 pt shot that we couldn't covert, but now with green cutting the pass goes to him for an easy layup.

First six game win streak in 5 years. Beat the best team in the West and East in a 5 day stretch. It’s happening?!?

It's certainly encouraging.  I still think Kidd will keep us from reaching our potential, but would love to be proven wrong.  

i'd like to know exactly what he's telling them about team defense.

Let's talk Myles Turner. If we can get him for 2 future first and something that matches salary that doesn't include Brunson, DFS, Green, KP or Luka, I'm all for it. 

 

Take 2 future first rounders (we don't really use them anyway in the Cuban era) any of the following players (that salary match) and take the Trade Exception (although this can be used in the offseason as well so keeping it would be nice)

Kleber

Sorry Ass D Powell

We can't stop NYK driving to the bucket. We can't rotate help side because it's literally every single knick taking us off the dribble to the hole.

Luka is having a bad Luka game- pouting on defense bc his shots aren't going in on the other side. And he's moving like he's injured.

Our 3 pt shooting is atrocious. 23% on 31 shots. And most of them are wide open shots. Too many of them are shot with >10 seconds left on the shot clock and we haven't touched the ball inside the arc.

Green and Chriss aren't seeing enough minutes. DP is getting worked.

Luka has not been good lately.  I counted 4 turnovers in the first 5 minutes and he’s not hitting threes.
6 total now I think for him. I think we would be better off letting Jalen handle the ball even when Luka's on the floor. If not, what's the point of having Brunson on the floor

He’s atoned for his earlier play, but his shooting from deep is still an issue.

I think it's a product of his accumulated lower body injuries. Like when you try shooting from distance on a bad ankle or a tweaked knee or even sore calves/hammies it feels off. I think that's what's happening with him.

Well, quit jacking up 3’s in the first half if the 3 ain’t working.  Everything else is working just fine aside from his 1Q turnover fest.  He’s probably the best post player in the league, focus on what is working right now.

I love marqueese Chriss. I hope we find a trade partner to get rid of WCS before KP comes back from covid but I don't know how much longer you can hold out kp due to covid. It's been two weeks.

KP has cleared protocols. Chriss will be inactivated. Some sort of move should happen soon to clear up a spot. 

I understand needing WCS for salary matching, but it’s frustrating that we have a very simple, low-cost way to improve the roster and they’re not pulling the trigger.
