Can't have a Sabonis/Naz frontcourt duo and expect to stop many teams, even if the perimeter defense is solid. That's just too much weakness at the rim to overcome. Fun team offensively though. Completely agree! I want to dream that Jaden can be a full time PF, but idk how that works with Naz and a...

trading for OG would have cost you Jaden. Unlikely. NY gave up Barret, Quickly and a 2nd round pick for OG. In the hypothetical above, you still have all of those players and draft picks pre Rudy trade- plenty there to add someone who was clearly not of the same caliber as Rudy at that time without...

Getting back to the main purpose of this threads discussion, winning it without a top 5 player. Where was Brunson at 24 years old? He was in his third year in the league in Dallas, averaged 12.6 ppg, they lost in the first round despite playing with who is considered a top 3 player in the league Luk...

In an alternate universe where we didn't trade for Rudy, Kept KAT, instead of Rudy we traded for OG and Nembhard with all of those draft picks. That seems like the right balance around Ant similar to how some of the top teams are constructed. Nembhard, Ant, Jaden, OG, Kat starting lineup. Never goin...

If Ant stays, great, if he wants to go somewhere else, great. Least of my worries. Great, but once you're down to just whatever you get back from Ant, you won't have a product worth caring about for years. Without the mission of tanking to achieve that goal, those seasons are gonna be so miserable ...

Of course, and it's not like Julius was so good that Jaden stepping up and taking it wasn't possible. It's just complete nonsense to say, oh get rid of Ju so Jaden can step up as a top 2 scorer. Jaden is doing great in his role. Trying to make him into to someone in a different role is foolish. He'...

Jaden has been here 6 years. Naz has been here 7. If there was more there and coaching got in the way, Finch should be out of a job. If there was more there and the front office got in the way, Connelly should be out of a job. but while the first two may be true, it may just be that Jaden isn't goo...

A few thoughts on the Spurs: - Poor De'Aaron Fox. Man, did he come up empty in these last couple of big games and will be the scapegoat for Spurs fans I'm sure. - Contrarian Thought: Fox's contract and the Spurs' desire to get off it could mean they'd be willing to give other assets up to a taker, ...

Really happy for KAT and his Father. Brunson is to be lauded and given everything he has coming to him. It was a tremendous playofs for him. I was cheering for this Spurs, but I agree with both of your sentiments. I love KAT, but the Knicks won last night in spite of him rather than because of him....
