    On buha’s pidcast he said Maxi may make it back before the season ends.Maybe they are waiting to have a definite answer on that before waiving and signing players

    Brunson, Luka, and now maybe Grimes.

    Nico on a generational run of bad moves.

    all because he didn't want to overpay in each instance, too. that was the story with grimes as well--they felt like he was going to price himself out of their market. also, in fairness, he asked out because he was worried christie would take his minutes. but that was partly based on the contract stuff, too, imo.

    brunson situation was also super weird with the knicks hiring his dad and his agent or whatever.

    interspersed with this stuff, they drafted lively and traded dead weight for washington and gafford and made the nba finals. just bizarre stuff.

    Williams looks "decent". Were these the same doctors that treat our players, that made his evaluation. It would make sense...

    True. I actually defended him a bit on Brunson given all of Brunsons ties to the Knicks.

    But yeah, bizarre stuff. I don’t get what he or the ownership group is trying to do there.

    Quite the jump but we'll see where we are after March and playing through the current injuries. Whatever happens, like the results and progression so far.

    jrue hasn't really played a big role for the C Bags this season. it's been white/tatum/brown carrying the load every night

    Jokic is limping.

    I
    No one seems to talk about how we are playing on the defensive end
    Getting JV back and acquiring DFS has been great for us
    Will see how we fair with out Rudi and Reaves
    I was wrong about Luka
    He hasn’t been a liability to n D

    Yes. 39 something,but it's only Lakers or someone that Thibodeau coach can get injured from playing so many minutes.
