    That’s exactly what I was saying earlier. We just can’t keep with these one year deals. Those guys aren’t vested in our long term success.

    I am very pleased with his free-throw shooting lately

    style of play still makes me cringe a bit, but love the mental toughness and performance. eat a d***, pelicans. enjoy marcus smart and gordon hayward and a move to seattle.

    Dudes averaging like 28ppg shooting like 60%fg... and and ton of those shots are crazy drifting or turnarounds with defenders in his jersey. Wait until he has a coach to put him in a position to score easier.

    He's been absolutely killing it lately. I wish he had this same drive and effectiveness earlier in the seasons though. Similar thing happened last year.

    But props to him, he has really stepped up his game. He's only 21, too. Incredible potential and already delivering.

    He's been the bright spot/silver lining for us late this season during this meltdown.

    If the stars align (knicks don't win the Zion lottery, and Kyrie leaves Boston) leaving no other bidders to leverage against the lakers, maybe we get AD without giving up BI and Zo.

    We better not dump all the kids for AD. I offer kuz, hart, our lotto pick, and 2021 1st; take it or leave it.

    THIS. Seeing Lebron start to decline makes it clear as day that him + AD is not enough to contend alone. Kuz + Hart and (2) 1sts is still a pretty good haul for a player that has made it clear he wants out and has so clearly stated his preferred destination.

    Time to earn that check Bron.

    If you can't help lead your squad in a must win, then the mob has the right to go at your head for tonight.

    Bron needs to lead, he needs to explain to his teammates and the vets (especially the vets!) that they need to play with more urgency and effort. Sure, we're not really making playoffs at this point, but we would all appreciate if they can all play like a unit, minimize stupid turnovers and start playing at least some defense.
