THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

They don't have to put up with Kyrie's shenanigans

Kyrie has to act up because thats the only time Brooklyn will get any attention in the media. NY is more focused on Fire Fiz, trade the vets headlines.

 

[ballinsam23]

I don’t think anyone is taking Mitch over Allen.

Lol. Allen is the softest "big man" in the league. Its like a running joke. Teams arent running to trade for Jarret Allen.

 

[everysingletime]

So the only reason why MM wants to stay with the knicks is cuz he wants to stay in the tri state area for his kid?

What if the sixers or bk come calling?

Not sure if either really need him though

And the Knicks aren’t running to play Mitchell Robinson over taj Gibson.

perceived trade value

Morris is playing the Knicks. He wants to get a fat contract, then he'll bolt. Players treat front offices like a business too. Our FO wont be here next year so none of this matters anyway.

Thats on the FO and the coach man. Both are fighting for their jobs trying to rack up Ws. Every team will lean on the vets to get the Ws.

Its the saddest thing in the NBA. Literally a joke.

 

[B Sox]

Mitchell Robinson over Jarrett Allen? Nah.

 

[ballinsam23]

When Mitch starts shooting 3s and Deandre Jordan keeps Allen on the bench next year I'll save these posts.

 

[HIM]

On February 2nd 2020 I am taking Allen over Mitchell Hackinson 10 times out of 10

 

[ballinsam23]

NT also told me they'd take Harden over Kobe so gotta take everything with a grain of salt.

Man don’t start. And if he’s out the giving his all and still losing and hurt then what will you say then

jo doesn’t give a **** about Brett and neither does the team. He doesn’t call play and Simmons hasn’t attempted a 3 in the last 2 months since being called out publicly

Quit with the bull**** excuses with his gf or his sleep schedule.

I think Brett Brown has done a **** job at coaching this team for much of the last couple years. With that being said, Embiid has played like he hasn’t gave a single **** for 95% of this season. That has nothing to do with Brett Brown. He either really doesn’t care, is pissed that we let go of all his friends on the team or his knees are straight up shot. I think it’s a combination of all three of them IMO.

Brett can’t coach. It’s that simple. He’s not the only guy to call it out

Interesting/obvious wrinkle from last night's game without Kemba was the Sixers have nobody to pick on if he's not out there. In the previous games guys like Richardson and Tobias were just hunting for him. With Smart out there in his place, the Cs had 4 good-to-very good defensive players out there along with whatever big they decide to play. Makes it much more difficult for a team that sometimes struggles offensively. No easy way out.

If they play each other in the postseason, I wouldn't be surprised if Kemba took more of a backseat in the series.

Good for Brad if he can actually do that because Doc sure won’t when it comes to Lou Williams even though basically every team in the league makes it a point to attach him on defense.

 

[B Sox]

MJ vs Kobe in this ASG is entertaining. MJ just gave him some serious footwork on the baseline.

 

[dacomeup]

I mean RJ and Mitch are solid young foundational pieces. Plus add another top 3 pick to that. Plus 7 picks in the next 3 years so its not THAT BAD.

Problem is we completely screwed up any development of DSJ, Frank, Knox by continuing to play vets over them. If we'd play only the young guys the whole season (see Hawks) we'd literally have a similar trash record. You're still losing games but atleast you know what you have with your "future".

The front office doesnt seem to get that. A loss is a loss, but they continue to play Elfrid/Morris/Randle 35 min a game. We've had decades of trash seasons, but to me personally, this front office has by far been the worst one. Not trading Morris would be the final nail.

I don't think that RJ Barrett is a foundational piece at all. Hopefully he develops into a glue guy on a good team. Just don't see the high end talent there with him and that was before he stunk this year.

I understand wanting to play Knox and DSJ more, but those guys haven't been good and Fiz got shown the door because the FO expected the team to play better.

And this upcoming draft is weak, but trusting the Knicks with future draft picks is a scary proposition. The one guy that you hit on in the lotto in the last decade you traded for DSJ + a late first round pick. :x

Yeah I have no clue if he'll actually do it, just seems like something to keep an eye on. Cs can basically switch everything and not be overmatched with Smart/Brown/Hayward/Tatum/Theis.

Another problem is y'all overhype your guys so much. Mitchell Robinson is just a foul prone athletic kid swatting at everything right now. The hope is that he learns positioning, improves at post defense, etc. He's not better than Jarret Allen right now, and how the Knicks develop guys is not encouraging for his projection.

Hoping his injury isn’t serious

Knicks fans were trying to tear me and DCAllAfrican head off last preseason when we said that after they kept claiming he was the best shot blocker in the league
