    Scoot isn't 22 - he will be Feb 2026

    Sharpe is 22 now - but was 21 at the end of the season

    You're missing the point of the post.

    Yeah that's fine - I don't care about that.

    I'm just here to point out an irrelevant correction wherever I can. Isn't that the point of S2?

    I think both guys still have all NBA potential. You have Shaedon who dropped 30 six different times this season, all but one of the games on efficient shooting, at 21 years old and you want to right him off as middle of the road??? That has nothing to do with our franchise, ownership or anything, that's just choosing to misconstrue what's going on to fit your negative narrative. Scoot is definitely a year behind Shaedon but let's see what he does this upcoming season, he had three 30+ point games on a little less than efficient shooting this last season. With both guys the assessment that they still have all nba upside isn't so much about the stats.

    The fact is, you have little to no ground to stand on because we watch these guys. We see how immense their talent is. We see them trending in the right direction. You don't watch the games and make sweeping statements based on... mostly just your negativity.

    But obviously they didn't give up Dame to get Ayton. Seems like a narrative push on your part.

    Looks like we might be sending Williams to the Lakers for Gabe Vincent, Jordan Goodwin, and a second rnd pick.

    Unless it's a very good 2nd I'd rather not. Vincent/Timelord are both expiring so that doesn't help us with anything. Id rather roll the dice Timelord is more healthy.

    Some articles. It's just a rumor at this point.

    I guess it stems from something ESPN's Bobby Marks said or posted.

    Define "better". You've seen evidence that we were worse both offensively and defensively with him on the court and that didn't satisfy you, so what do you have in mind? Aesthetics?

    I think we should keep RW3 now. Especially if it’s just for a 2nd.

    Is Valanciunas agent the same guy who started the Knicks head coaching search?
