Watching Knicks vs Heat and damn…Tyler Hero is amazing.  For the Knicks Randle is so talented but disappears for long stretches.  Strange.  Everyone for the Knicks is pass to Randle and get out of the way.  Disjointed.  Still…the guy is amazingly good

There's a ton of guys out there. Maybe bring in a G-League guy or two on a 10 day.

Like who?  Kup made his move…which was awesome but we will see what the offseason brings.  Need a better coach doe

We have young players that are ignored.  Get someone who can coach

JB just got an extension at the beginning of the season. He's going nowhere soon unless he totally ticks off MJ and Mitch. Get over the idea of replacing him, MJ and Mitch like him.

As for players? Again, some guy(s) from the G league or someone like Teague or Exum unless they've signed elsewhere.

@Shocker @jayboogieman Deadline for buyouts and such is March first. Maybe Mitch and JB have their eye on someone and are waiting to see if they become available. Other than that I have no idea why we are still carrying an open roster spot with our depth this poor. Also great timing on sending Bouknight down to the G league when we only have 2 actual guards available on the roster. Wonder if it was some sort of punishment for the UCONN incident?
 

@Shocker What you saw with the Knicks is exactly why I said I don’t understand the Knicks hiring or retaining of Thibodeau. The offense runs entirely through Randle because he is the only “vet” player on their roster who gets significant minutes and Thibs doesn’t trust anyone else. Like I was saying in an earlier post, he’s a terrible coach for that teams current construction.

Maybe on both counts. I don't see another reason to keep the other spot open either. As for Bouknight, it's probably a combination of punishment and getting him playing time since JB would rather play Martin, who returned.

Still poor management on JBs part to not have an emergency guard available in case both LaMelo and Terry happened to go down. Guess we will just have to wait and see what happens on the first. Only have 2 more games this month.

I agree about not having a third string guard and said as much during the game. I guess he would have used Martin as the guard if push came to shove like he did when COVID had hit the team.

INJURY UPDATE: have added Cody Martin (low back tightness) to the injury report as doubtful and Jalen McDaniels has been downgraded to out for tonight's game against the Pistons.

and just like that, would love to have Bouknight available but we just had to send him down to the G league. Lamelo and Terry are the only guards available tonight.... wtf are we doing.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
