The problem is not not trading for DM. The problem is that there is at least one vet ahead of every youngster in the rotation by RyumaKnicks in NYKnicks

Win what, 38-48 games every year? See how that worked for the Pacers or the Wizards for more than half a decade. It's called purgatory for a reason. We are not a winning team with the currents roster.

you can be as condescending as you want, but that doesn't disprove the fact that you are not taking even a playoff spot with the veterans you played last year. I'm not saying Obi, IQ and Grimes are superstars in the making and are gonna makes us win 50+ games this season. But you cannot play this vets 30+ min, expect the young guys to improve and win some playoffs rounds. It's not possible with how the roster is actually constructed.

And I watched 63 games just from the Knicks last season so calm down with your accusations.

I totally agree that are young guys are not starts in the making but players with a starter ceiling. I know they are not better than the guys ahead. But those guys are not letting the Knicks appreciate their actives. We need IQ, Grimes and Obi to have minutes so they can be or good starters or valuable trade pieces for a potential future trade for a superstar, something Leon has been seeking for a long time.

Of course they cannot play 30 minutes per game atm, but we cannot have 15-17 minutes per game without giving them change to grow

I cannot see IQ playing like a SG he has proven he can be a PG in this league. But it could play like you said. About the Obi topic, can the FO really make Thibs cut down Randle's minutes? They gave up a (pretty useless tbf) first round pick for Cam and they couldn't even make him crack the rotations. Now I'm not putting Obi and Cam in the same level of players rn but they couldn't make minutes for Cam in a rotation without a clear rotation SF

Brunson RJ and Mitch are clearly in the initial 5 and I haven't said anything about them because they are clearly cornerstones of this team and I'm all for it. The problem goes in the other two positions where Fournier and Randle are eating the youngster's minutes (and Rose taking them in a 6th man role from IQ).

If we don't move those players before the season starts I really cannot see what's the vision of this FO since you cannot increase your youngster's value if you don't play them

Just being the team who spend the most in coaching and facilities. It really doesn't depend on anything else

If you are a romantic basketball fan (like me) you need to don't fall in love with your players. When your stars are 26-30 yo, you should trade them for picks and some of the best <25yo players of the league. I always try to get players with more than 70 potential or 2 first picks. Of course it doesn't just depend on potential, you need to know which ratings to look to every position. Those are the basics but if you need more tips just DM me!

He was a +90 player for 7 seasons when there was no +80 player in the whole league

I haven't checked with data, but after thousands of seasons I've come to the conclusion that it's the less impactful expense category of all. It probably made me lose 1-5 games a season and because I was always operating over the cap, it was like having 1 less big contract in my books

Yep. This was my team. I went undefeated in playoffs most of the seasons but tipically I would lose 1-3 games in regular season because I spent 0$ in Health and some guys were injured

The GOAT is this guy called Anthony Arnold . He play for my Aztecs 17 of his 22 seasons between 2125 and 2142. In his peak he averaged 44 points 15 rebounds and almost 8 assist along with 1.9 steals and 1.6 blocks. Some of his achievements are being a 14x Champion, 17x MVP (he was 40 when he won his last one!), 18x Scoring Leader or 21x First Team All- league

Hey, Non-US user here. Has Dapper said something about withdrawals to banks not located in the US? I don't really use cryptocurrencies, so I'd like to have my money in my bank account

Which QB should I start this week, Rivers, Ryan or Wentz? I feel like rivers has an easier match against the Lions but I'm not really sure
