Don't mean nothing? It means something. "He Here".

Orange and Blue Julius.

no tenacity on D or the boards at either end.

not a good character trait for a Thibs team especially for a PF

He seemed like a great guy though and I hope he does well, but i see why the Knicks decided to move on

I agree with this, but I'd still like to see the Knicks come up with a replacement for him.

Are we really in a deficit without him? Team seems to be doing well?
Jacob might be more of a wing than a power player. He is physically a clone of Obi.

Jeez, what did Bruce Brown do to you?

Bc he sat on the bench when he was here and didn’t want to play for the Knicks anymore

Just joking around - my point is as far as “regrets” go I would regret losing him more than Obi. Especially after last night.

he wanted to leave cause we didn't want him - I don't think we offered anything as far as a contract.

And can't argue with going to play the role he does there- would love to have him back.

we could use just about any average NBA player right now on the bench.

Doesn't mean we should have kept a malcontent Obi.

Malcontent? Come on

I was a big Obi fan - unabashedly would talk about "if only he was given a chance". He got a chance and Indy decided the same thing as Thibs. Still like Obi and will root for him after this series, but fandom makes some of us (willingly) blind.

More importantly, we dumped Obi to clear money for DiVo, yes? Does anyone still believe we'd be better with Obi instead of Donte?
