I don't like the fit. Too many mid-range paint scorers. Plus, the age thing. That move would give a one year window? Two if we're lucky?

DeRozan is elite at it.

This is where Randle needs to move the ball around and not force the post up.

Trade chip?

Deuce may be showing something in practice. He is a point of attack defender and he has long arms to deflect and steal passes. He is limited on offense but if he can shoot effectively you let another player create.

Losing intensity. Need a strong start to the 4th.
Bring in Evan!

Yeah, but so is Brunson. I get DeRozan is good, but still seems like a round peg for a square hole.

Think what RJ gave us at times and then imagine RJ was good at it. Then imagine it off the bench in the playoffs when the 3's aren't falling

RJ was good at getting downhill and making reads when he was at his best. DeRozan now is a midnto high post operator and we already have that. Still screwed if the 3s aren't falling.
Should also add that we might have one of the clutchest 3 point shooters in the league right now

Is it me or does Towns wince everytime he goes to the rim against us?

Maybe. Hope so. -10 when Knicks were up 18.

Backup PG is going to be wild ride isn't it? JB looks gassed.
