A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[Miles Davis]

Kanter talking bout he ain’t about tanking and young players can get playtime in the g league

Dude can kick rocks

 

[The War Report]

Kanter talking like he has a future with this team.

 

[Ironman]

Anyone under 25

 

[qnsfinest]

Kanter keeping silver off our backs with the anti tank talk. I like it.

But seriously, this would be the perfect time to bench Kanter and start Willy, oh wait.

he said that?

this team has no direction whatsoever

him and tim are gonna cost us draft position in the final 2 games, you just watch

i hope he opts out

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

First off fukk Jeff Horn a sack. I have no problem if we end up winning the game but let’s win with our freaking young players please.

It’s like he knows he’s going to get fired at the end of the season so he’s trying to screw up our draft pick.

If this entire coaching staff is brought back for next season I’m going to be very upset[/QUOTE]
That'll be my last straw. Contrary to popular belief, I like Barack's brother-in-law for the d leagues, he scouted Burke, Dotson and Troy Williams but it's the rest of the organization with the exception of Perry, I don't like. Clean them out and keep those 2 guys.

The likelihood of kanter stupid ass opting out is minuscule
he likes new york, he's never gonna get 18mill in a year ever again, he's 25...so he can forego worrying about a multi year deal for another year.
fukking one way defensive sieve
i liked his rah rah attitude when we were winning (cause of kp)....but he can shut the fukk up.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

"Let me tell you something, man: They can develop guys in the G League. This is not the time to develop young guys, or whatever, because we're trying to win games here," the Knicks' starting center said on Friday. "This team is paying us a lot of money, everybody, and all the fans are paying a lot money to watch the games and they're paying a lot of money for tickets, so they're not just coming here watching, 'Oh, this guy's getting better. This guy's developing.' No, we're trying to win games here, man.

"I think that's how our mindset should be," he added. "And if they want to develop somebody, they can send him to the G League and we can see some development. But I think right now, we're trying to win games. We're not trying to develop nobody."

That Kanter, what a stand up guy#SendEmToTheGLeague

 

[gdatruth]

you can say that as a player (especially when tops you are only commited for one year)

but as organization their responsibility is to look at the big picture. There is no upside in winning meaningless games at this point.

 

[ProlificLurker]

W/O KP to cover his defensive deficiencies, a starting squad with Kanter manning the middle is pretty much a tanking team anyway

Besides, a team that was truly contending for the playoffs, or just trying to win in general, would have Kanter coming off the bench, ala OKC

The same point also applies to THJR and Courtney Lee. On winning teams these guys are off the bench, solid role players. Having one of them as a starter is fine, but all 3?

It truly is a testament to how good KP was that he was able to have this squad contending for the playoffs

Hopefully when he returns, he'll be similar to what he once was....just a bit more "grounded"

 

[Kitsch]

Good win by the Kings.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Maybe we should send kanters ass to the G league If he wants to win

Big game today brehs, Alabama vs Villanova at noon. Sexton vs Mikal Bridges...

My only knock on Mikal is he doesn’t assert himself as much as I’d like. You wonder if thats just a product of his system or not. Then you look at a guy like Miles, who’s in a bad system yet still finds ways to contribute. Looked really good last night.

 

[RickyGQ]

Julius Randle and Jabari Parker make me wish we had cap space this summer...

I mean... trading Lee, Thomas and O Quinn frees us like $22 million...

Mikal had a good scoring 2nd half after going MIA in the first half, finished with 23 pts , 0 assists , 3 rebs

Colin 17 pts , 3 assists , 4 rebs


Neither really stood out to me, but the strong (scoring) second half by Mikal was fairly intriguing



Man, I really hope we can crack that top 5/6
