Y’all some fools, I finally check my phone and I see the Knicks and Atlanta beef has been rekindled

One Of The Last Real Ones To Do It
Of the likely top 5, all except Mobley would be a good fit next to the rest of the youth. Cade, Boston all three Jalens. I am not sure about Kuminga, but likely.
Man if I am forced to watch these 1 and done motherfukkers 30 minutes a game to struggle to get a 10 seed I will be livid

For the love of God, I hope they actually use the G-League this time instead of having the youngins rotting on the bench.

It bothered me a lot,’’ Barrett said on a Zoom Call during Media Day. “Not going to lie, it bothered me a lot. I really don’t understand why I wasn’t on it. But it was motivation, motivation for next season. It was good to have an extra chip on my shoulder and just prove myself even more.”
Barrett’s efficiency was the issue. He shot just 32 percent from 3-point range and 62 percent from the free throw line. Still the 6-foot-7 slasher averaged 14 points and provided a lot of intangibles and defense.
While there’s talk about rookies missing out on a summer league because of the pandemic, Barrett missed out on a second Las Vegas stint too.
Still, the No. 3 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft feels he’s ready for his second season and felt he was playing “my best basketball’’ when his rookie year was shut down on March 11 due to the pandemic.
In Barrett’s final eight games before the shutdown, he averaged 18.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 48.2% from the field and 37.5% from three.
“I feel like I’ve made a lot of strides during this offseason,’’ Barrett said. “(The layoff) was such a long time to get better, study films, really break down my game from last year and kind of just work over the course of all these months. I’m really happy with where my game is right now.”
Barrett believes he’ll make a good tandem with new rookie Obi Toppin and has been working out with him since the Dayton star got selected No. 8 overall in last month’s draft.
Barrett is also taking to the stern leadership of new coach Tom Thibodeau. He is Barrett’s third head coach as a Knick after David Fizdale was fired early last season and replaced by interim coach Mike Miller.
“To me, it’s not as hard-driving as everyone says it is,’’ Barrett said. “I’ve always had coaches like that my whole life. That’s what I like. To me, it’s being a good coach. He has a great style and great way he wants our team to approach the game. He knows how to win. He knows how to win at the highest levels. He’s won a championship before. We’re lucky to have him.
“He really wants to defend and get out and really just coaches us to the best of our ability. So far, everything’s been great.”

Homie, you the one that started this convo and been dragging it out for 3 pages
@storyteller told you numerous times the giannis trade is far fetched but you kept on moving the goalposts..
All I can hope for is now that we have great development staff our young players will start to show signs.

Even if they do show signs, Elfrids pass to Randles spinning turnover will still prevail its way into the starting lineup of an 0-60 record because it looks good in practice.Homie, you the one that started this convo and been dragging it out for 3 pages
