They’re exactly where people thought they would be this season. Well at me from my prospective.

Dray is washed offensively and last year wasn’t an outlier. There was a reason why Minny had to give up a first to offload Wiggins contract while taking on the longer deal. Also, don’t forget that Oubre is incredibly inconsistent and didn’t put much stock in those Phoenix years. Even they didn’t want to drop the bag for him.

Couple that with a thin bench because of poor lack of training and talent development along with the Klay injury, you’re in the situation that you are now. That’s why none of the guys in last years draft fit the timeline. It’s also why Wiseman is gone after this season and being packaged with the Minny pick.
Packaged for who :jbhmm:

This is loaded draft so if it conveys this year, then it will have more value than the Wiseman pick last year. I'd try offering Minny their pick back in exchange for KAT. Especially since a lot of people around the league believe that they should build around Edwards anyways.

Or they could theoretically call Washington about Beal. The problem with a lot of future picks is that we don't know what they will look like until years down the road. This one is different. Now if it doesn't convey this year, then they are fukked as it's going to lose an insane amount of value.

Beal nor Kat is getting traded to them . They shoulda traded KAT last year if that’s the case :russ:

Knicks have a team man, it's not just Lonzo.

They do have a team, but Lonzo isn't the missing piece :dead:

I think they did quite well for themselves and have taken the team very far for a squad led by Randle. But Lonzo isn't winning any playoff games for them or anyone for that matter. He's an average, maybe above average guard being overrated for his defense, but in reality defense has never mattered much at the point guard position, and he doesn't play good enough on offense to match up with some of the guys that he'd need to play against in the east playoffs like Kyrie, Holiday, Simmons, etc.

They obviously can't field a winning team around (granted some of that is on him), so whose to say that he won't demand a trade at some point?

With Beal, if he turns down the extension in the offseason then Washington has no other choice but to consider trading him. Unless you'd prefer they chance it in hops that they sign re-sign him when he hits unrestricted free agency?

Me as a Laker fan trying to figure out which team to root for each night so we avoid the play in game

Steph
Jokic
Embiid
Giannis

All locks for the first team. But who's getting the final spot:jbhmm:

All the other obvious candidates are injured.

Look I don’t want to make this a Jokic vs Embiid post but one thing I like about Jokic is that he at least looks to finish all the time. Embiid is incredible but he sometimes acts like a 7f0 280lb Harden or Trae Young with his foul baiting and it gets annoying
