No we're not, we're going to feature #kporzee and because the East has shifted West some, he's going to put us on his back and help us win 35gms fighting for the 8th seed all yr.
The triangle offense is for LOSERS!
Our poor Knicks coaching-staff got BLOWED-OUT of todays SL game by the Pistons grabbing a 10 pt lead in the first quarter, then a 19 pt lead in the 2nd quarter, then a 30 pt lead in the 3rd quarter.
Knicks 78 - Pistons 103 ....
When we FIRED Phil .. we were supposed to FIRE the entire coaching staff Phil hired.
Hornacek n Rambis got to be FIRED before training camp!
And for those who are unable to watch, Knicks have run some triangle .. Offense too predictable and standard when they run it .. we started off the game with that corner entry pass of the triangle and it got stolen by Kennard...With Artist and Dotson in the game at the same time, Knicks need to spread the offense to open up the paint as its too crowded in there a times .. That was one of the reasons Randle struggled handling the ball in game one .. No one came up to set a pick to help him out .. Still no excuse, as an NBA player, you still shouldn't be getting ripped as soon as you cross half court.

Where are all those clueless rookies we had on the roster last season, they all belong on the SL roster?
They all perform like they were D.League suspects last season, even KP poor clueless performance.
Baker/Randle/Kuz/WHG/Plumlee/KP .. all need to be on the SL roster !!!
Frank Nitty seen what we were working with and Frank did the same thing Noah did .. pull out with a injury.
The Knicks coaching-staff need to be put out to rest in some grave yard.
Sixers are going to crush us when we play them this year, I'll take bets on it.
Ky I was being facetious as usual. I'm not expecting much more from #kporzee other than what he's showed us so far. There's an element of overratedness to him

Legend
KP went from being 2-3 years away from contributing (was the cry when his name was announced) to now being overrated 24 months later? Odd.
I believe he'll continue to steadily improve his game.... where he ends up, somewhere between borderline all star to borderline NBA top 10 player....
Well, time will tell.

Rotation player
yeah, he went from 'a work in progress' to 'let's trade him now despite what we've seen he can do on the court' pretty fast, huh? this is what hype does to the mind of the sports fan. and then there were those silly 'porzingod' videos. a rookie comes into the league looking a bit better than people had originally assessed, and if he doesn't deliver some kind of championship appearance within a year or two then obviously he's really not that good after all.
here today, gone today.
but it's kind of funny too.
To be fair, PJ was looking to trade him for a couple of first rounders and a young player like Marcus Smart or Kelly Olynyk. That would have given you two firsts this year and a rotation player, so you may have had a 3 young players starting and a first next year. Die hard Knicks fans may have said WTF about trading KP but the Knicks could have done overnight what it looks like it's going to take years to do now. Those rumors about what the Celts or Suns were willing to give up were way overdone, so KP wasn't close to being traded.
I don't think we're going to have to wait to see what his KP's potential is going to be, the Knicks pretty much are committing to building around him so expect his usage rate to go up and hopefully his production goes up as well. Let's see if KP can show a glimmer of being a franchise player this season.
Its not funny .. KP played in close to 140 games averaging 30 minute per game in two seasons. There are players who been in the league 3 to 4 years and havn't receive that much playing-time (Draymond Green did not receive half the amount of playing-time KP receive his first two seasons in the NBA), plus 70% of the games KP played in were losses.
Being able to play basketball is one thing .. playing relentless hustle-basketball on both sides of the court for the WIN is something we haven't seen KP do in two season. Blame it on the Knicks coaching development!
My understanding of a 2-way contract means we will be paying Kornet an NBA salary even if he plays in the G League and that he essentially counts as a 16th or 17th player on our roster and not towards the traditional 15 player NBA roster limit.
Or, at least that's what I've taken away from reading online about it. Not clear how 2-way contracts count toward the salary cap though. Long story short, I like Kornet's upside and this seems like a smart move. He is a good shooter and a shot blocker, no idea if he can play real defense though.
Posting my first ESPN Insider article about a 2 way contract. It's buried in the article but 2 way contracts don't count against the cap.
That was quick that they decided to sign Kornet to a 2 way. A bonus with him is he showed he can put the ball on the deck and is just not a catch and shoot 3pt shooter. I would be surprised if an undrafted player who can stroke it like him can play stout D, scouting report has to say lacks lateral quickness, leaping ability and quick twitch athleticism otherwise he would have been drafted.

Wow, that does clarify things. Thanks, man.
