The pressers have pushed a philosophy of Wins/Losses don't matter, the young guys development is most important; so pretty much yeah. Doncic or Porter would be a nice way to shift from rebuilding to working toward the postseason.

@storyteller analysis. I forgot that was one of the best parts of Coli Knicks Season.
I was very happy with what I saw and I also agree that nerves/excitement had a lot to do with many of the deficiencies.
It does seem that the positive locker room vibe amongst our younger guys is still present.
I'm really hoping that cuts happen as early as before Friday's game against the Wizards. We don't have 16 preseason games to experiment with fringe roster players.
This game should be enough to know who needs to be sent to G-League or cut out right.
The remainder of our preseason needs to be assessing situational responses such as plays coming out of a timeout, clock management, coming back from a deficit, HOLDING A LEAD, and roster chemistry amongst our definite players to determine who should be playing with each other throughout the games.
That's not something that Hornacek should be experimenting with in the first actual games.
As of now, I'm liking Sessions support of Frank. You can see it on the sidelines. Contrary to casual belief, you don't need a Hall of famer to mentor you on the fundamentals of ball. You need a professional, a person who knows how the NBA works, how the refs make calls and who is not too much of a diva to answer the stupid questions a rookie is likely to have.
I believe Kanter should start but only play for limited minutes in the first unless he's in a groove and Willy should be out there by the first time out.
Although I still believe Doug should start, I'll admit that we have better options. I DO WANT DOUGIE getting minutes along Frank and Kris. He's bound to be forgotten by the defense and his ability to get open or cut to the basket really would be boosted by Frank's passing ability.
Timmy has not impressed me with his defense but he did impress me with his work ethic on both sides of the court even though he had issues.
Anyway, let's thank the basketball gods that the season is upon us.

I thought he was better than XRM and Hayes last night tbh. But all three are G-League or overseas bound.

I'm trying to figure out what pieces are missing from the Knicks (besides talent.....).
Like what SF whose not a star player could they realistically get that would improve the starters and the bench?

That Hayes dude was pretty eh to me though honestly from that bunch and summer league only Dotson made an inpact to me.
This question is a big oxymoron.
It's not realistic, but my answer is Khris Middleton.

In a perfect world imo, Robert Covington; but I'd rather struggle this year and draft Doncic.

Frank looked composed out there. Wasn't trying to force it.

Link breh. I'll give you all due props but from what I understood, @MR. Conclusion was the one who gave us this heat.
I'm open ears, though.
How you not gonna tag me breh? I came up with the thread title.
This is some Trapped In the Closet shyt...
Shuttle...your post was from June but in an off thread about Phil that I didn't actually even dap (I would have if I saw it.)
I legitimately first saw it in Mr. Conclusion's post in Sept when we were discussing the actual options for the title.
Y'all might have to take the dispute to Judge Mathis
That being said....
The ruling is @MR. Conclusion owes 10 Rep points to Shuttleworth and DPres owes 30 rep points payable as soon as available to @Shuttlesworth for the possible copyright infringement.
