Kornet may be greasing the skids for Kanter to be traded. That's a lot of rebounds for a playoff team.

Just one game. Let's give it some time. But he was a big time shot blocker in college.

Seven foot 3 and D players are a rarity. Also 1.6 mil to 18 mil makes a difference too.

Nope, I was pretty chill. Took my meds like you suggested!

Was at the game and the first half was awful. Boring and uninspired! Had a great roast turkey "Carv" sandwich a the game and a good beer. Carbs about put me asleep. Actually I did. Been a long week. Had a 24 hour bug yesterday with low grade fever so was happy to wake up game day feeling good.

Good come back and good defense by frank on slowing Kemba down. Enes is so bad on offense it was pathetic. Kornet in because Mitch got hurt as most of you know. Frank got no respect by refs and was balled over in what looked bad. Kid never got his grove going. But Mudiay did. That "notch" is as evident in person as it is on TV. But he got going with short range shots and looked good. Kornet played good defense and that was key. As seen Knox had a great first half. 70points at half was bad look for knicks. Knox did what good rookies do and had his moments but also inconsistent. Thats ok, he looked pretty good and played some nice defense SOMETIMES. That kid got "chicken legs" and looks much younger in person. So does frank.
He looks every bit of 6'6 or 6'7 and won't fill out until he stops growing. He looks younger than Knox!!!
Fans in our area all begged Vonleh to stop shooting! If you saw the game you know what I mean.
Another good knick crowd at the arena. About 1/4 or more were representing knicks. Got loud for both teams in there.
Kemba had a good first half but then he disappeared. Im never in favor of paying small guys. I like Kemba and enjoyed watching him over the years. I hope he retires a Hornet.

Don't get caught up in someone like Mudiay, who is incredibly inconsistent and is also playing for a contract next season. I wouldn't give Mudiay any contract next year. He's just a filler and not the long-term solution at PG. He's simply a guy starting on a bad team and putting up some numbers.

Absolute best case I would renounce him and offer him a minimum salary as a backup PG. No way can we afford to stake future money to unknown and unproven players like Mudiay with Brickaway Jr still on the roster and Noah's wasted money on our cap moving forward. We have to make smart signings. The only guy worth coming back is Vonleh. I'd give him the MLE.

Dotson is on the roster next year for $1.6 million, which is a steal. I wouldn't trade him for anything. If we sign a free agent we'll need guys like Dotson to fill out the roster. Plus he's a solid player.

Mudiay has a very old school style of play, and he’s starting to realize he can dominate with his size, I love how he attacked the hoop and didn’t just settle.... hope he keeps putting in the work and keeps evolving into a nice player.

I’m glad he had a good game but I think he still has periods where he’s soft and he resorts to fade-aways etc

He’s far more effective when he keeps things simple and aggressive

Fadeaways is not a bad thing if he's able to create space and make them effectively
