Now that OGA is here, I have achieved my dream of getting OGA. For better or worse, he is ours and no longer a daydream. Now, I have to move on to other players to maintain my ever-present sense of foreboding and need to continually "improve" the roster.

As such, I present my next round of daydream worthy players. Please note that my list has some rather arbitrary but important rules.

1) Player must be 28 years old or younger. So, any oldies are not gonna catch my eye.
2) Player should have a relatively high TS% (55% or higher on around 20% usage or higher). They gotta know how to score efficiently with volume. Willing to give up usage for higher TS% (See OG Anunoby).
3) Player should have good "biometrics" meaning good height and wingspan. This means positional size, but I am willing to replace "height" with "wingspan" in this calculation and actually prefer wingspan to height.
4) Player must play both ends of the court or have a reasonable expectation that his performance on one end of the court will improve with a move to NY (Think OG getting better offensively with a few more FGA).
5) Player has to be "likeable" in the subjective sense. So, no wife beaters (Sorry, Miles) or headcases (Sorry, Simmons).
6) Cool nicknames are bonus points (I see you Spida and Block Panther)
7) Cannot be a current or former Knick (Sorry Jerami Grant, you are old and used)
8) Cannot be a top 20 player already. Too expensive. I have to be able to come up with a fantasy in which they are obtainable without destroying the Knicks team entirely. (Sorry Donut Doncic, but we cannot afford to dream of you in Blue and Orange, its just not real enough).
9) Positional Need for the Knicks is important, have to believe that the new heart-throb is better than what we already have.
10) Bonus points for Hustle Stats. I fricking love hustle stats. Will accept other weaknesses for more hustle. Sometimes other stats are a product of the system and not the player. Hustle is all player. (see Tari Eason)

Mikal bridges. Everything about his game and skill set is aesthetically pleasing for this team. Like a different version of OG.

I mean, while it’s clear that this guy’s hair will NEVER recede, I’ve been pretty clear that I’m a wingspan guy. Spread those wings and fly…

Right on, right on. Tari Eason is a good guy to get BTW if we could that be great. But not a priority.

What kind of a bogus lists is this? JJJ DM and Mikal not being top 20 players kind of depends on who's making the list right? JJJ was DPOY, DM multi year all star, and Mikal has regularly been a top 20 win shares guy.

The guy you are clearly jonsing for is "Straight Jacket" aka "Not on Herb" Herbert Jones. Defensive and Hustle specialist. He's listed as a 3 but could easily play the 2 with the right personnel. 38% shooter from the corners and TS% of 60% this season. We love DDV but having Herb means we can lock down Tatum and Jaylen in the playoffs. He's on a super value contract and with a plethora of guys at the same position- Ingram, Najib Marshall, and TMIII, should be gettable. After Jan 15 he can be traded straight up for Fournier- lets just use up some of those extra picks to make it happen!

Love Herb Jones. But Trey Murphy makes him look weird and ugly. 6’8 with a 7’0 wingspan. Hubba hubba.
