That ship sailed. The price of the brick went up on Lavine if they even wanted to trade him now.

That wouldn't stop him from trying.

I get a heavy "never be the smartest person in the room" vibe from Rose. I honestly like the dynamic he's set up. Three cats that are geniuses at what they do...one guy purely thinking about how to win tomorrow, one guy purely thinking about how to strategize for the future and a third guy purely focused on connections and behind-the-scenes information (also, functionally giving Rose a look at a Dolan-like id).

These guys are each coming to the room with the best possible perspectives from one specific frame. Then Rose gets to play the detached judge. He's not committed to any one perspective and that allows him to roll with the best case out of the three...in theory.

It's worked so far, he's batting near .1000 and that makes it hard to tell if things will slide should a choice backfire. I like that there are already examples of Rose supporting each piece of the brain trust to successful ends. I think if this is properly led, it becomes competitive and encouraging. If it's poorly handled then you could slip right back to in-fighting and sabotaging that we've seen in the past.

fukking love this assessment.

Team building at its finest. From an HR lens, very representative of a functioning environment. Diversity of thought.

The keys to great leadership is being the Merlin that shows Arthur the field from above. He's doing a great job.

yall should be happy he isnt lettin his ego , and personal bias dictate the decions being made


refreshing to see upper management taking on as much info x advice from people he put in a position to advise him .

 

[Ironman]

Lol thibs will mind control him into not being a terrible finisher.
drummond is not gonna magically turn into an expensive rental rim runner for the knicks. he wants to get paid. maybe if we were the lakers or something but we arent competing for a ring.

La trying to get Drumm anyway let em

[nyknick]

Hopefully Rose has Thibs in the room so he can just do the opposite of what Thibs says

If he comes here and just rebounds and stays out the way, sure he’s an upgrade. If he comes in and wants to play for a contract and starts demanding post ups or bytching about touches than he’s not an upgrade. I don’t want to take that risk. I’d rather go get a wing scorer like Fournier.

what gives you the indication that he would come here and be disruptive? sounds like you being negative for no reason lol.

 

[TOAD99]

I hope we end up with the 4th-6th seed. Being 7th or 8th is risky now with the play in tournament

Couple of bad games and we could be knocked out
