That's a good deal for Hart. When he left New Orleans he was kind of an also-ran headed toward journeyman status. He really found his niche this season and he's a great fit with Thibs. Secured a nice little bag.

Secured a nice little bag. I think the deal is fair. Ultimately with the PO for this year it is like 5/$90M for a key role player who brings a lot to your team. It is a nice bag for him and a good get for the Knicks who have a lot of players locked down over next few years He was def close to being that guy who stays with a team 2 years and either moves on or is traded (See players like PJ Tucker or Jae Crowder)

But it's a fantastic deal for Hart vs. where he was last off-season. Thibs had multiple guys playing the role that just Hart can play now. Guarding multiple positions, rebounding, facilitating a bit.

Guarding multiple positions, rebounding, facilitating a bit.Which is really what Thibs has built the team on. With players like Grimes, Hart, White Donte, those are going to be their core guards Still think if they want to maximize RJ he should come off the bench with him and IQ basically trying run people off the court I assume Knicks Starting 5 to start the season will be PG Brunson SG Grimes SF Barrett PF Randle C Robinson

I'm very amused that the Knicks are basically Villanova: NBA Edition. I do think that kind of chemistry is pretty underrated, though. Like White Donte was Brunson's roommate in college. They go way back.
Maybe if Thibs f***s this up they can convince Jay Wright to take over as head coach. >_>

He can't afford a slow start or a big losing streak in the middle of the season

The '16-'17 Warriors are a straight up menace in 2K.
I created an all-99 super team and even they are barely beating them in an all CPU battle. Mind you, my super team beat the Bad Boy Pistons 170-41.

Mind you, my super team beat the Bad Boy Pistons 170-41. You need the perfect storm of size, athleticism, defense, and scoring to beat the Warriors super team. Like Shaq or Hakeem to get Dray in foul trouble. KG or Duncan to take advantage of a lack of true 4, probably KG to guard a more positionless era given that he was the precursor for it. Then maybe Pippen or Grant Hill to exploit Klay. Maybe a Kidd or Payton type defense and facilitator. And then either outright shooting like Ray Allen or outright scoring like AI.

I have players with the DNA of Gary Payton on Steph, Pippen on Klay which works out okay. No matter who I put on KD, he just destroys them (49 points last game), because no matter what he just gets wide open on 3 pointers, and even if he doesn't, any double team = the lane is free for freaking Draymond to score easily. Every other classic team gets annihilated, but these guys are amazing.

The Sixers are no longer going to trade James Harden
Here's to another year of Embiid not winning a championship.

Morey really decided to just blow this season up by not trading this dude Like idk what the Clippers were offering, but I'm so tired of every Sixers season being f***ing dumb drama. I feel like I haven't enjoyed a season since Jimmy Butler left.

Harden has no intentions of playing for 76ers so this will most likely play out like Rockets did
He will sit for maybe 2 weeks to a month and then get traded. Bad situation for his new team as he will have to work himself into shape and you have to hope no injuries pop up in the interim
Tho since Harden is on last year of his deal, he seems more likely to be dealt somewhere besides his preferred destination. Can't say same for Lillard as it is Miami only and Toronto (a team linked to a potential Lillard trade so they can acquire Herro) seems to be deciding on whether they want to keep Siakim or not
