Im not going to argue the first two weeks have not been awful with very uneven play. Kadeem had shown to be capable back up to back up. Technically we have 4 pgs, three of them are hurt and the 4th is a systems guy working a dysfunctional system. Mudiay showed a lot of progress and his numbers were improved. If the "process" is good for mudiay, cannot it not be for our others?
My take is simply Mudiay would have cost 6mm plus and his market value was obviously one third of that based on what he got. Not that we are getting our moneys worth else where at the 7 game mark, but Mudiay's ceiling is lower than DSjr and we made that choice to Go that way. For that matter Mario's last 7 games looked damn good when he was running the offense!
Our front court is respectable at best and they are simply out of synch with a back court that is not even close to being sorted out.
Its good thread fodder to come up with "fixes", air regrets and "what ifs".
Facts are Knicks have to make do with what they have at least until December 15th.
In the Rubio Love fest update the kid had a great game last night but he plays next to Booker who went for 40. Rubio had 21 and 10 assists. He can't do that on this team. Suns have same record as Clippers!!! Whodathunk? Mudiay backs up Mitchell and Conley. That's a fine pair!
Fact is Emmauel is a better shooter than any of PG's! Ouch!
