I'd 3-5 more wins, but there are a lot of variables there. I don't put any expectations on Rose at this stage in his career. But I expect Fournier to play better and RJ to make some improvements. IQ and Obi could also play better. I'd also expect this team to need time to gel in the early part of the season. This season could end up going in a number of directions. Maybe they should wait and see what they have before they make drastic changes to the roster? Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Either way it’s hard to imagine us not being better next year. We have a functional starting pg now who can create passing lanes. Our young core guys have another year of experience |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This is the correct stance. I think there's a reasonable chance these negotiations fall apart- Ainge has failed to pull off more trades than he has done successful ones. He was so busy trying to 'win' the Gordon Hayward trade with Indiana, he ended up blowing it and having him go to the Hornets rather than get back Miles Turner (who was exactly what they needed at C). But if that happens, it happens. |

Genuinely embarrassing watching Kellerman here, glad Hahn pushes back on the lame, tired, BS |

Well that doesn't make them an instant contender and is therefore a stupid move. What other non-playoff (or even play in) team has every move they make judged against whether it instantly makes them a championship contender?! Just ridiculous. Seems like we've pretty much set out our stall and boundaries for a deal, and the Jazz will go fishing to see if they can top it, but we've pretty much said what our parameters are and given them a sliding scale to choose from. That's a very reasonable stance, that personally, I think is in tune with most Knick fans- is that what everyone else is finding among their Knick brethren? (ie go for it but don't over pay due to the scars of the Melo trade) |

I don't think we're moving Randle, not unless we get some crazy offer i think the knicks are banking on a rebound and frankly that's probably the smartest approach if you weigh risk/reward. We all got super frustrated with him -- me included big time. But of all Knicks possibilities the idea of Randle returning to all NBA form has the biggest impact for the team -- no matter what you want to do with him. We treat him like an afterthought but let's remember D-Mitchell has not made all NBA. (5)(7)
