Team building with new cba- assemble core and lock them up w 4 yr extension will take any team to the dreaded 2nd apron where restrictions include moving ur draft pick to final spot in 1st round but then shouldn’t said contender trade those remaining draft assets like i believe we have 3 first round pick swaps eligible to be moved in addition to 2 protected firsts, and 5 seconds therefore id look to assets that the league’s cba is going to diminish in value- do i hVe this right just getting deep into cbs intricacies plesse help

[@christopherggabriel]

Another condition is it can freeze ur first round pick where it can’t be moved but what if u already moved it- does it go to the 2nd round or the next year does anyone know the protocol.

The Knicks are a backup center away from being complete in my opinion. If one of our rookies can earn a rotation spot and we stay healthy, the East better watch out. Unfortunately i think the Nuggets and Thunder are still a bit better but we are close to the Celtics tier now. I hope we sign a Center before or during the regular season!

[@JudahiamKng]

Watch out for what? I don’t think Miami , Boston , Philly , Orlando , and Cavs are scared… you guys look good on paper but the thing is Mikal and Anuby are not scoring wings they are catch and shoot players. OG does attack the paint every so often

[@wakeupnyc718]

Ihart left us for the money lets be real. He could of stayed but I dont blame him maybe he felt like he was better than Mitch with his asking price. Thibbs need to improve Sims immediately

[@SaulTeeBalls]

Center position will come back to haunt us this deep into next season and the playoffs. I DO NOT TRUST MITCH AT ALL. His ankles are as fragile as UNCOOKED SPAGHETTI.

[@crod79]

In mitch we trust

No Gavin, you aren't making any new enemies, but you are invoking the Stephen A. Smith plot where you know something isn't true but you say it anyway even if it makes you sound like an asshole, just to get a response.
