This all or nothing mentality will always perplex me. I get they aren’t playing well but you don’t throw in the towel and rebuild after 30 games. You have to have patience and look for ways to get better without hitting the reset button every time things aren’t going well.

I think people want to avoid late lotto picks. We see how that always worked out poorly for us. The bad thing for us is now that draft odds have flattened we need luck to get a good pick. We never get lucky with picks. I think last year the stat was after the Ewing pick we have never moved up during the draft lotto.

They need to be fielding calls for every vet on the roster. Kemba and Burks are on very reasonable deals and can help playoff teams.

There is no sense in battling to sneak into the 8th seed and getting drilled.

Rose going out could be a blessing for now, allowing Thibs to play Deuce. We need more assets and lottery picks are what we need.

Why?

So you guys can BASH him more than you do Julius Randle?!?

😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣

He was drafted in 2015...

2016 = 1st round bust/elimination.
2017 = 1st round bust/elimination.
2017 = 1st round bust/elimination.
2018 = 1st round bust/elimination.
2019 = 1st round bust/elimination.
2020 = FAILED TO MAKE PLAYOFFS (34-38).
2021 = 13th seed @ 14-19 (worse than our KNICKS).

This guy has not only failed to make it out of the 1st round every single year (x6) but he's failed to improve his overall game every single season.

2nd year = 14. 5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks.
3rd year = 12.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks.
4th year = 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.7 blocks.
5th year = 12.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 blocks.
This year = 13.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks.

And you guys are wanting to trade away younger talents for THIS GUY? Someone who can't make it out of the 1st round and has the same exact game as he did once drafted ala failed to improve, statistically speaking?

And stop pretending he's some type of stretch 5 with 3 point ability when he's got an awful career 3PT% of only .354%

He's a career 12.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game and the most overrated NBA player by NYK fans and you guys want to trade for this overrated Center?

😅🤣🤣😅🤣

YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE TRASHED HIM AND RAN HIM OUT OF TOWN 5-6 YEARS AGO DUE TO BOTH FAILING TO IMPROVE HIS NUMBERS AND FAILING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE 1ST ROUND.

You draft Centers, but you do not TRADE for UNDERACHIEVERS like MYLES TURNER.

Jets should draft Desmond Ridder

your shtick of mentioning Jets stuff or Elf just doesn't work at all. Ever

In fact, it's kind of tedious

Just trying to figure out how the suns are so successful while Elf rides pine. It’s impossible

Maybe save that for a Suns board or just yourself cause no one else cares.

The application of irrelevant sarcasm does not work.
If your taken serious, its moronic.
If its a stab at humor, it fails.
Either way it don’t work.

I do miss the Elf on the Shelf threads this time of year. Call it nostalgia.

While it might not be original i think it's humorous enough. On a scale of one to 10, 10 being something that makes you burst out laughing,I think it's a solid 6

Elf on the shelf or we talking Elfred Payton lame deflection comments?

In France Fred Weis was a good player and Jerry Lewis was a comedic god. Perspective if all relative.
In my mind I rooting like hell for Kemba. But in a world were knicks are not better than last year (yet?) and we “Upgraded” from Elf to Walker, why are we not better?
Yes, there is lots of blame to go around. Elfred Payton is not a great player, and Thibs did not have better last year. Yet, his play was not the issue for the whole season. He tailed off. True. I get it. Nalod never has called for his return.
Or stream a jerry Lewis movie!
