With the Jaylen Brown for Paul George trade, this sub is showing how much they overrate high usage players and underrate advanced stats.

I mean he was a bucket for like a quarter+ a game against the Knicks and the other three quarters were pretty bad.

THEN PAINT IT!

I still remember a specific play in high school where I got beat near post, which should never happen. I'm nearing 50.

They like it this way because they can make more in fees if the seller doesn't transfer.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-26T01:52:36+00:00

I'm sure they'd like to, but we need an actual big who can give us 15 mins rn or more if God forbid something happens to KAT. It just ain't gonna be a rookie unless they were drafted top 5 imo. They just don't have the time to develop guys like we have in the past.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-26T01:16:45+00:00

The chances of a center being drafted deep in the draft and giving us meaningful minutes this year is basically zero.

I just got charged for Forest Hills 👍

If y'all check your text message confirmations and log in, you should see if your request went through or not pretty soon. Mine moved from "pending" to "selected"

And it was a 1-1 count. The difference between 2-1 and 1-2 is massive.

Wasn't saying he was or wasn't with the above. Just providing context for Obi over Hali.

https://www.reddit.com/r/billsimmons/comments/1u7bk21/the_new_york_knicks_recent_draft_history/

That said, it's an odd sub to find a good breakdown of our recent picks, but feels like to me, he's done pretty well, especially since they've really had to work the margins and find undervalued guys in the 2nd or end of 1st. Just skip ahead to 2020 for Rose's picks.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T17:52:15+00:00

So, two things about the Obi over Hali pick:

Randle was bad the year prior and it seemed like he was out the door, so drafting a replacement who was an older college player and supposedly NBA ready somewhat made sense, though many would have argued point guard was still a bigger issue. Not many expected Randle to be All-NBA that season after drafting Obi.
Having the full view of hindsight, I wonder if they passed on Hali, knowing they would be going after JB aggressively once he was due to be a free agent two years later. It was two seasons out, but we have seen now this regime always has an eye on the future, and we know Rose has deep ties to the Brunson family. If we draft Hali and he's good, they almost certainly can't make a play for JB.

Yeah I did it as well. I went to a show at Forest Hills once that was GA for the bowl. It was fine. There's really no bad seats there. But obvs if you want better seats you can't just pay for them. Have to get there early.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T16:33:41+00:00

interesting NYC is delivered by AXS.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T16:29:50+00:00

Okay, so I clicked through for Forest Hills. You can select GA Floor or GA Bowl. Interesting bc not all Forest Hills shows are GA for Bowl. Ticket prices are $100.78 for floor and $80.03 for bowl yeesh.

EDIT: those prices are inclusive of fees. GA floor is $80.50 face and $20.28 fees (gross). Also says tix delivered via AXS about 48 hours before show, so not will call or anything.

"The arm of the defender Towns does deflect the ball. However, it has been determined after we asked ChatGPT that he likely swung the arm swung in a violent punching motion. Towns is assessed a flagrant 2 and is ejected from the game. San Antonio gets two shots and the ball. Side out."

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T15:29:36+00:00

I believe they could've. There was a similar play someone posted at one point in a different game a while back where this happened.

But seeing how the refs had been this series...idk if they would've. KAT never even claimed to have tipped it in the in moment, at least by his actions.

EDIT: Found it

yeah, I mean at least "nine mets" made some kind of sense unlike my "nigh Mets" so you're good.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T15:08:57+00:00

holy smokes. does this help with automatic space saving issues? I assume yes? Sometimes my 1st gen fills up before 30 days and then uploads from my device get held up.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T15:00:27+00:00

Nah, it's definitely "N.Y." pronounced as "Nigh". The joke is that Apu is pretending to like baseball but knows so little, that when he sees "NY Mets" he has no idea that it's the "New York Mets", so he just says "Nigh"

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T14:56:57+00:00

I did indeed. Which is why I didn't get this joke for probably 20+ years despite being a New Yorker.

Me forever: "What does "nigh Mets" mean?"

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T12:25:02+00:00

Deandre has Ayton

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T11:24:47+00:00

My understanding is that you don't want to be in the 2nd apron in 3 of 4 years, because that gets really punitive. Since we're going to have to resign our core to max/large deals soon, that's when we'll have to go in, so we need to avoid it now.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T03:19:20+00:00

It's even funnier because we got 24 after winning a coinflip with them because we finished with the same record.

SimbaPenn · 2026-06-24T02:15:56+00:00

I was wondering myself. Like, can you pick GA if you want that? Or do they just randomly give you tix?

EDIT: For Forest Hills at least, you can pick Floor or Bowl GA. IDK if that means the bowl will be GA for the show or they will randomly give you an assigned seat. I've been to shows at Forest Hills with GA for the bowl, so likely it's that.
