Well, the NBA draft came and went. The Knicks continue to experience Cubs-like mediocrity which is further amplified by the pick of Kevin Knox, a scorer who can spot up and shoot and plays well around the perimeter like, well, that is pretty much all the Knicks have anymore. This is a collection of tall shooters who aren’t built to pound the glass when they inevitably miss some of those spot-up jumpers. Lebron James is not coming to the rescue. Sounds like Kawhi Leonard isn’t either. He just got rebuffed in the effort to go to LA. He’ll get there eventually, but it might take another year of his career in order to do so.
Back to the Knicks…
Blech.
Seriously?
The lack of inspiring picks and trades has me thinking the Knick front office is playing money ball and leaving it to a solid coach to come in and fix things up. Sorry, my NBA 2K character is not real and cannot come save the squad. Apparently nobody can. Extended mediocrity it is then. The really odd part is that Knox is clearly not the best SF that was left on the board at the time. They passed on a lot of talent to reel in this fish, and I have to say I have concerns about the mindset of the front office. No, I still don’t trust them even after Porzingas.
Some Thoughts:
- Rough rough day in the life of love. Everyday feels like it should be better than the last, but tomorrow definitely has the legs to do just that. Today sucked overall.
- Better blogging and writing tomorrow. It is getting near July and I have not been great about the words. Not great.
- Or the stories needing review. That is also on the docket.
- Big ass Docket.
