The nets have a good system for okafor. Love the guy allen they drafted and he should fit in well. RIP Crushalot😞

Okafor's upside is what we already have in Kanter.
A really good post player who can rebound but not a great defensive presence. I don't think we need to make that move, and we also need someone more physical next to KP. Talent wise I think Willy's a great investment. Where we need to focus on is more talent at 3 and 1. We need more than Frank at 1, and more than Doug at 3, longterm. |

No knicks in this conversation except for Briggs inclusion to want him. I get why because OK4 has the talent and his first half rookie season was strong. This kid is. Case of the body being ready to “fulfill my dream of playing at the highest level and be rich as shyt” but the mind not mature to get the physical sacrifice and mental fortitude it takes to be an adult, be under enormous pressure and still be a kid. He has nearly gone thru the motions. This is why the draft is so hard because really getting in a kids head is not an easy thing.
He and the nets get an opportunity. Nets are that kind of team that can do this. Low risk move. It’s a good playbook the nets are enacting. No short term buzz there. They dug a hole for themselves and have the GM and coach dialed in for the long term. No proof this works. |

Say what you want about Enes, but the dude has a motor. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

A bit like a big man version of Jarrett Jack in terms of impact. Looks like he plays winning basketball. I don't think he got worse from his rookie year. The per game #s are lower just because he gets fewer min. He's just a volume scorer who struggles with most aspects of the game but appeals to people who want flashy scoring. I'd definitely expect that if you let him play the same min and take the same number of shots, he'd score about the same points as he did his rookie year, though. |

I heard someone on the radio this morning talking about how Philly now has 43 mil coming off the cap at the end of the season with Reddick, Booker, Johnson etc. being in the final years of their deal. Do they make a run LBJ?

Do they make a run LBJ? That is the goal. Lebron & Simmons G/F duo would be different. But would kill the Cavs and propel them to finals contenders in the east. Heard they are also targeting Klay for when his deal is up in GS. If they can't get Lebron though and decide to try and win right away rather then preserve space. Will Barton would be a good pickup. As would Ed Davis. Possible Rodney Hood would be available as well. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree
