OKC gets to punt one of its picks while moving to the salary floor. Denver saves money and has a chance to bring in cheap talent. WE could've given them Kemba back and it would've achieved the same
thing

Green played 67 games last year. Kemba is cooked.
We can move his salary to a team in need of a one legg'd star or can buy him out. Not sure where this falls.
We could have done it, but I suppose we forgot? Or, we not saavy? Or we not in tax situation? Or have other ideas how to use his expiring if in fact we do.

No matter what happens though, we need to blame Thibs

I don't expect Green to play for them at all. Also, Kemba isn't cooked. He's just rejuvenating. He
just needs the right team to unlock his inner potential. Boston could use him right now. Most teams would be lucky to have him in exchange for a first rounder.

This is not true. Bostons defense has improved drastically because they let go of Kemba and EF. The sad thing is we picked up both and now underperformed.

That's just it though, I don't think they are individually that great or deep- I don't understand how they've come so far! Green has been old and played like trash, Klay has been diminished, Curry hasn't shot as well as usual this year, their rooks and young players have hardly played and Poole is essentially IQ level, I think. It's amazing how great they've done as a team, I don't get it!

Wiggins defied his reputation and has been rebounding and astounding. Otto Porter is and always a quality player but with injury issues. Those two really compliment the core.

The west sort off fell off this year and GSW stayed healthy thus far. Im not on the steph is on par with Lebron thing but thats because I don’t hate lebron like so many do. Don’t get me wrong, Steph is a Jerry West type transcendent type player but not one to carry a team on his back alone. Not on mount rushmore. He was one part of a great tandem and was fortunate to play for a great organization who hit it right on many fronts for some time. Thats a complement an not a dis. Lets just say he is in rare air of top 15-20 of all time but not in that Top 5 mount rushmore thing. Its not his fault he had three seaons with Durant and won two of three trips to finals with him. It dilutes his MT rushmore status in my view. put I place him on a more crowded space with the likes of Oscar, Magic, the Logo, Bird, ets. Thats a very special place where the MVP’s and fist ballot HOF’s live. This is a team game and 4 titles are fantastic.

Know how we say great players make great coaches? And Great coaches can’t be great without the players. Well this year perhaps might be Kerr’s best work and while he is now a HOF type coach given his resume, this might have been his best work. Funny, his mentor is Phil Jax. Kerr won 5 titles as a role player and could be 4 as a coach. Depending on his logevity he could approach Pop type level. I don’t see him as that type and perhaps when this run is over he does not rebuild with them. Just a Nalod Guess.

And I always believed when he got that awful spinal fluid issue and needed surgery given the pain that if he was a knick coach he’d have resigned. Thats doubly painful!
Thus he was never meant to be here.

I am not with trading for him because it would cost too much and we are not even close to being contenders but I must say D Mitch is about as NY as it gets. Once the offseason hits dude is all about NY in every way possible.

Be great to get him but not as a starphuch gate attraction but as a bonafide piece of winning puzzle. The past has given in to that even if the intent was good. The Isiah Marbury era and the Dolan failed Lebron attempt that led to Amare/Melo consolation attempt. While fans crave a star, perhaps the PHil/MIlls/Leon eras are more grounded to build from the ground up and can pull it off without the empty result.

Are we really that far away? If Rose executed his plan A and signed and traded for Mitchell or Brunson and then signed Bamba to be the new defensive Center we are probably between a 47-51 win team

Yeah, Mitchell and Brunson likely aren't coming and we have no idea what the Knicks are getting from Randle. If Thibs coaches next year's squad to a .500 season, I won't criticize ever again.
