    Where’s the “hearts on fire” track instead of this sappy, sad song for the reel?

    This is nice, Walker Kessler ( aka Robert Parrish) is coming into his own. I was watching the Sexton work as well. We have so many options, camp is going a blast as players put it on the line to earn minutes. Make them earn it JJ and then you have to reward them.

    in the second sequence he does a euro step/drop off/gortat screen and...that's pretty impressive even against practice dummies.

    Why? Best center we have had since ..... since ..... well ..... AD

    Thought you liked the defensive swatters. He's going to be good for us. ;)

    I’m seeing 80s Jazz flashbacks. I was rewatching Jazz vs Showtime Lakers recently and Utah started 4 white guys and the Mailman

    Kessler is not a scrub, but we overpaid here IMO. Blocking shots doesn't automatically translate, into good team defense. The Knicks had a good defense, best defense in the playoffs, and were the 29th ranked team in blocked shots last season.

    He's getting hyped up a bit much, like he's a potential DPOY, or All Defense team guy. With a career 10 pts 9 rebs 2.5 blks...decent big numbers, but 30M per and 2FRP?

    I wasn't in love with this move.

    Understandable take, but I talked to sirronstuff and he is ecstatic that we are now the 80s Jazz with Big Kess as Mark Eaton

    Luka, because he weighs as much as Mailman
