    Pfft. Whatever. I bet if we were a bigger market/more favored NBA team with more "star" power he'd have moved in a hot minute. He'll probably be a Laker by this time next year.

    Harkless regressed? What? He got better. Aminu and Davis both had before average years for us, so if things regrees to the mean they'll play better than us.

    With Nurk, he's always had the talent but he just needed a situation to unleash it. He's a very good rim protector at the very minimum, which is already an upgrade over last year.

    The rookies can only help us. If they're not ready, they won't play, which means no difference. If they are ready, they'll play and it'll help us.

    We still wouldn't have the cap space to sign anyone even if we didn't sign Crabbe, Turner, or Leonard, and even if we did, nobody better than Turner wants to come here. So while they were mistakes, I'm having a hard time seeing what improvement they've caused us to miss out on.

    He was from the east coast, so the move TO NYC was probably a good thing in his eyes.

    I wonder if Neil is still considering dealing with NY for Kanter.
    We know he likes him because he inked him in the past, we desperately need scoring off the bench and we know NY wants some of our pieces.

    It's interesting to see the per36 numbers between Kanter and Carmelo:

    He was born in Brooklyn.

    They can't trade him for a while after getting him via trade, correct?

    Kanter is a very good offensive talent. But I think
    What would we give up? Kanter makes a lot of money for a backup center. I really doubt you'd want to twin tower Kanter and Nurkic. We'd probably be better off with a more defensive minded backup center.

    I agree, but our bench is really impotent right now. Is Neil really able to get a better 6th man elsewhere?

    The Knicks don't care about Davis. Harkless is the guy they want.
