The official '20 NYK thread, Nate jersey retired

[Upptempo]

As you googled, Frank is already a 6/3 on 20 minutes with none shooters and no offense.

So maybe mow he can become a 13/7/4 and Ill take that.

DSJr .. I don't know. As much as we want to **** on him, Fultz is coming around. But yeah.

I'll give you $100 if frank averages 13/7. You can screenshot this receipt.

Now I'm pulling for Frank to be our starter and avg 35 mins a night.

Tell me 1 GM, Scout or Analyst that said a 22 yr old rookie won’t ever be as good as a 19 yr old rookie when everything is all said and done.

Find me one that says they could be

Or any shred of modern evidence to back up the same question you be asking

Just the other day you had to go back 30 plus years just to tell me “Well Ewing was drafted around that same age and look how he turned out” as if it’s a supporting argument

 

[Upptempo]

So what are we gonna do with the extra roster spots from the guys we waived? Are we just gonna sign a bunch off G League 2 way contract dudes?

 

[ballinsam23]

**** man.

 

[floodarea]

**** man.

We really running it back

 

[Upptempo]

**** man.

keko jones there goes your $100

 

[Air Pope]

You guys got your guy Elfid back ... rejoice!

 

[naijaboy]

Ugh, elf really?

 

[ballinsam23]

Scott Perry gotta go. This mf still got too much influence.

We get it, you’d still take a chance on drafting DSJ, Frank or Knox over Obi

 

[ballinsam23]

The consensus here did not want Knox. I remember most of us wanted any of the Bridges. We talked ourselves into the Knox pick after, but it’s clear he deserves to be in China and we were right all along.

 

[Upptempo]

One thing I'll give Obi over Knox is confidence. You watch Obi play and he's pumping his chest, hyping the crowd, yelling after a dunk, etc. Knox always had too timid of a personality. Tim Duncan and Kawhi are rare breeds of aggressive players who are soft spoken.

I'm not saying Obi is gonna be elite but you can't teach passion

 

[keko jones]

Im mad mad .. can't believe we signed that ******* bum bro.

Unless he's coming off the bench I don't want to hear it.

If Frank doesn't bring something this year to get his Job then **** him too next year.

 

[ballinsam23]

We drafted a point guard (Frank) then gave up our greatest asset ever for a point guard (DSJ), yet never gave any of them significant time to run the team due to signings exactly like these.

Its why we stay in NBA purgatory. Never fully tank and let the young guys grow together. Never in position to sign legitimate free agents. Rinse and repeat.

 

[naijaboy]

Don't we have to spend a certain amount? Whose getting the rest of the money?

 

[you go boy]

i dont see the point in bringing back elfrid... he did nothing last year to warrant resigning him

 

[gaiiige]

we’re going to be unbelievably bad this season

20 wins may be generous

 

[gaiiige]

Payton’s shooting splits last season were 44/20/57

20 and 57

as a starting point guard

 

[ballinsam23]

After 6 years in the NBA I don’t understand how you don’t try to get your shot better.

Just throw all the remaining money at Bogdan.

How do you not value shooting? Can’t get much lower than a F- already.

[naijaboy]

Idk, feeling like they must be working behind the scenes to get either westbrook or wall. I just can't see them pretty much running it back with essentially the same squad.

 

[floodarea]

Was expecting us to suck this season regardless so having more or less the same squad minus veterans that were taking up minutes ain't the worse thing in the world given next years draft class

Like I said before the priority should be maintaining flexibility moving forward and it seems like we’re at least doing that
