Even tho I knew it would happen I still couldn't believe it (or stomach it). Ndour hits a game-winner? Horn not smart enough to have Baker foul and send PHI to the FT line for the win.... Are you kidding me.
Then Dantoni plays all his starters.... MIn jumps us.... you can't make this stuff up. We won't jump up to top 3.... I bet we fall to 8. Just terrible.
Orlando fires Hennigan. He predicted it himself saying people were justified in criticizing him.Orlando is absolutely terrible at developing their youth....I encourage with kind regards to not look at them as any barometer to gauge what the Knicks should do
Payton
Vucevic
Gordon
Oladipo
Harkless
Have all spent considerable amounts of time coming off the bench or traded their career there, only to be reinserted back into the starting lineup. That's why Rob Hennigan has publicly spoken on the uncertainty of remaining their GM heading into the summer. He's going to get fired! Payton now in his 3rd season officially looks like a starter after having to take a back seat to DJ Augustin..."are you kidding me"
This is the same organization that traded for Evan Fornier and tried to make him their go-to-guy after they drafted Oladipo[same position](who they traded away for Ibaka who they eventually traded away in less than a season). They traded Harkless to Portland(I said last yr we should've traded for him), for a 2020 2nd round pick...disgusting! It was one of the reasons Scott Skiles quit because he implied he was being told what to do on the bench from up top....sounds familiar huh(Phil/Hornacek/Our Knicks)?
I'm not saying Hezonja isn't in the suspect category at the moment but don't place all the blame at his feet. Orlando is a mess right now. They better be glad they have a chance this summer to atone for some of their sins
Actually Hezonja is exactly who we should target because you want to get players before they could uptick with a much higher reward. I have no problem if the Knicks draft Ntilikina as long as they've done adequate homework on him. He's no different than taking a chance on #kporzee. He's similar considering positive physical tools given the position he'd play/need filled. I do prefer others over him though, but I do like what I see from the kid.

If his job performance warrants getting fired, Phil deserves the axe as well. Funny that Dolan has fired people for far less, Gruenwald did a better job than Phil has but got summarily dismissed and exiled to Canada before his contract expired. Dolan should fire Phil just for the sake of fairness.
Its in LA and he'd be playing for Magic, I think Melo would do it. Pelinka is an interesting guy, no GM experience but has been on the other side of the negotiations as a top agent. I criticized Dolan for hiring PJ because he had zero experience as a GM but Pelinka just doesn't feel the same, I think Magic may have picked a GM that can help turn that franchise around.Read on Hoopshype Rob Pelinka will not rule out putting their pick on the table. As to what they're looking for not sure
Melo/#6-7 for D-Russ/Moz/#3&28...I just don't think Melo wants to go to a rebuild situation

Markelle Fultz, PG, Washington: Fultz remains the best bet at either point guard or shooting guard, able to score from anywhere on the floor and distribute. His chasedown blocks seem to be foreshadowing to the ability to defend well in Brad Stevens' schemes. |
