While other teams made blockbuster deals, we were among the group of teams taking care of business with a small deal to fill a need. I think we can actually say that the NY Knicks are no longer the laughing stock of the NBA to be ridiculed and dismissed as not relevant. We are relevant and this squad is a legitimate playoff team.

I was definitely looking in on the OG Anunoby availability or the possibility of adding Bridges. Neither Toronto or Brooklyn were ready to be serious about dealing as they rebuffed all teams inquiring so it wasn't just us falling short again so I feel good about that. One thing that is becoming obvious is that we are targeting a wing for the starting line up. I am not sure what RJ's long term future is with this team anymore. For this team to get to the next level we need players who are more consistent and RJ is still not that.

It's time to look to the buyout market or not. We are close to the luxury tax and I am sure we don't want to get their yet. We could always use Keels and Jeffries if needed. Maybe some 10 day contracts for practice bodies it's not like we need to fill those roster spots. We could use a big body however.

I am a little curios to see what we were looking to add if Obi was traded. Was it just picks or were we targeting a player. I'm also a little concerned that Wide World Wes has any sway with this front office. He seems like more of a con man than a basketball savant and I still have no idea what he actually does here. I also don't know why he would be at odds with our coach. Who gives a crap about Wes's vision for this team.

Anyways here we go into the final stretch and I am loving this team even more than I did a day ago. We have a great chance to be playing basketball in May!

Show how to throw a full court pass lol.

Love is lazy on D. Thibs would rip him apart here

Thibs emphasis on D is um.. overstated. Anyway it would be mostly to point out things to the young players from the bench. I like that idea better than a player who probably wont crack the rotation anyway.

Also would not mind giving 1 or 2 of our D League guys a spot.

Surrised there's no love for bringing Danny Green home? Isn’t he from Babylon or Bayshore? Plenty of playoff experience. I would definitely consider him

I'd expect Westbrook to Miami? Seems like the thing they would do.
Melo still not on any team in Los Angeles? Maybe he like "I will come if I play"? Not saying he a diva, but its logical. Does he really need to sit on the bench?

It’s not like we even have to promote them. 2 way players can be on the active roster for 50 games. Wait, I guess they wouldn’t be eligible for the playoffs if they remain 2 way players? Is there like a break glass in case of emergency clause with 2 way players?
