That’s levels of layers of nonsense to me.

If my car has problems starting and I can pick a second car just in case as a backup, I don’t pick a car that I know has worse problems starting than the first. But maybe I’m a stickler for not wanting to get myself into a very predictable situation.

Sounds like an argument for passing on OG trade. Trading a ironman like RJ, for OG. Whats one more layer of nonsense?

You think so?

Some media guy says "I think the Knicks..." and it becomes a story. Zero indication the Knicks are considering him, but ok.

I think Alpha is using his safe word sentence, oxygen must be getting cut off. Don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing

man... center for the Knicks is like a pimple on your pretty face. Relax and stop focusing on that. Its not a big deal.

IHart played really last year but those opportunities only came because better players were out. Randle is a 25/10/5 3x all star. He's our point forward and one of the highest gravity players in the league. He's a wrecking ball in the post and cleans the glass well. We are simply going to be a better team +Randle -IHart handling the ball in the high post.

I'm a bit shocked they didnt lock up Precious longer/sooner as I think he's tremendously good fit. His mobility and quickness are going to be a really good in the schemes (we have already seen this).

I just cant wait. I think the formula is pretty clear and just so ****ing good. Smash with Randle, then dismantle. You know WHO's gonna do that dismantling. Brunson/Randle/Donte are the flame throwers but what is really wild is how ALL our defensive gems can SCORE. Mike/OG are DPOY caliber wings. That's gonna be phucking nuts. Bridges is so skinny and quick while OG is like an NFL tight end. Both are long. Then you got Josh and Deuce. I guess they are ok.

I can see lots of games where Jericho is eating up a ton of C minutes off the bench, which might seem yucky for a team hoping to contend here for a title, but geeze... look at that bench As a unit McBride/Donte/Josh/Jerico is a wild bench and can explode on sides of the ball.

Whats Boogie up to these days?

Yeah, that seems like a good fit and exchange. Portland got a lot of figuring out to do. They got Grant just sitting there on a nice contract too and I don't know why they wouldn't move him?
