Just as they were about to get back Griffin

They just got blown out by Phili

I continue to believe they'd consider moving Blake maybe for Melo...


Also, Philadelphia is on fire. They're a better team than the Knicks, they're 10-3 in their last 13 games and get Ben Simmons back in a few weeks.

Has there been a Chris Bosh update lately? Is he just never gonna be able to play again?

edit: oh, here's an update. apparently he hasn't ruled out attempting a comeback and would like to play with Wade or Bron.

Kanter punched a chair and could be out for a while.

Target to trade KOQ to? (Or Noah?!!?)


Update: Broken forearm. Yikes.

Wow. He did a Gus Frerotte or is it an Amare?

Hopefully they want Noah but I'll be ok with KOQ.

KOQ for Morrow and their 1st rounder.

or

Noah for Abrines, Collison and Morrow.

Riles got him a bad contract on his hands. I have not heard a thing about him.

Last I read Bosh said he was getting a taste for retirement- hopefully he comes to his senses and doesn't risk his life by playing bball- he has his money and chip, time for some new interests.

Bulls even more messed up than we are- Butler and Wade blast all the role players on their team, the role players blast them for playing 'buddy ball', then Rondo blasts Wade and Butler for blasting the role players. Then their coach benches all three!

The rumor that won't die is that Bosh is HIV positive and that his lifestyle is "alternative"

As the story goes, when ESPN First Take had Skip Bayless call him "Christina Bosh", Bayless was told from above to cease and desist. No one wanted the PR fallout of ESPN appearing to sanction derogatory comments on Bosh if his lifestyle ended up being revealed.

There was also apparently massive pressure laid on Luke Walton to have "traditional trappings" i.e. a wife, if he wanted to really get a chance in the coaching world as a head coach.

Stuff like this is always very complicated, it's more than just the players value, it's how the player is perceived in a league where there doesn't seem to be much general tolerance amongst the players themselves. ( The Knicks own Noah himself is guilty for slurs on the court)

Not sure what the Heat can do. Bosh could just hold a press conference and essentially destroy the Heat organization and NBA by saying and making claims, true or not.

What, is this the 1980s?! He has blood clots not HIV- if you're prone to clotting its probably a blood disorder like polycythimia or something. That rumor stems from ignorance and prejudice around gay people and HIV (that only gay people get it and that gay men must all have HIV). Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where people didn't go round gossiping about peoples sexuality- men can be effeminate and heterosexual, just as they can be butch and gay. Unless you personally want to sleep with Bosh, why do you bother reading (and spreading) rumors about his sexuality- why do you want to know?

The Pelicans should be a cautionary tale for Knick fans. I see so many parallels between how that team was constructed around Anthony Davis and how our team is likely to be constructed around Kristaps Porzingis. Patience is a virtue and key to building around your star. It's the difference between having Jrue Holiday as Anthony Davis' running partner and Giannas Antetokounmpo as well as either Zach Lavine or Dario Saric.

Can you imagine how incredible a team would be with both Davis and Greek Freak on it? Can you imagine the possibilities? Would anyone be able to score on them ever? Those two would make for all-time great teams.

CHICAGO -- One of the key issues festering for the Chicago Bulls this season is that the team's younger players would like to see more of Dwyane Wade on the practice floor, veteran forward Taj Gibson acknowledged Saturday.

Gibson said the issue came up during Friday's team meeting, which was called in the wake of critical comments made by Wade and Jimmy Butler following Wednesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
"That's one of the things in the meeting: Young guys just want a little bit more from him," Gibson said, noting that Wade practiced Saturday. "And he brung it today. He pushed the young guys. And that's a sign that that meeting did a little something.

I'm glad for Acy. I really liked him when he was a Knick. He lost his spot due to a numbers crunch but felt he had a lot to contribute.

He really looked good in the Orlando Summer League. Since we've missed out on Chasson Randle, I'd immediately dump Rose and then call this guy up to run PG for the rest of the season. Weber's clearly an NBA player and just needs an opportunity to grow.

He was going ISO and handling the ball well..He had a penetration on the left side that was pretty with the left hand..NBA is about consistency..He has improved but I don't think he is that player we saw tonight yet..
