    KPJ is only 6'4, he is roughly the same size as Wall. Green is around 6'5 to 6'6.

    I like this one except 'we' have to trade House. And Christopher goes to the G league. Martin fills in at SF. Sengun fills in at PF and Center. Garuba is stashed in Europe for a year. I hope he is here though.

    I mean, you did see that we’re going to sign Theis, right? Pretty much all we can sign given our cap situation.

    Wall is under 6'3 barefoot

    Green is 178 pounds

    KPJ is 6'4 212 pounds


    KPJ would hold the 3's, imo

    I agree he's not a #1 option, that's why it was so easy for ATL to take him out of the series. The knicks need to put better players around himself and Barrett but Randle has earned his money.

    I don't think the Rockets are looking to sign that many players lol. It's not as if we were in the Kawhi/CP3/Mike Conley/Lowry sweeptakes.

    I think KPJ is one of the rare instances of a player being taller than their listed height.

    Ah you mean big as in weight. My bad. Although I'd rather bench Wall until he requests for a buyout or a trade and start KPJ at point and keep Tate at the 3 lol.

    At this point I would take any wing or big on a bad contract to get rid of Wall - Horford, Wiggins, Love. The problem with having him on the roster is his usage, I’m gonna lose it watching him take the ball up the floor with Green and Porter getting frozen out by his delusions that he’s the player he was before tearing his Achilles

    No way in a million years would we bench Wall making 45 million, you got to understand guys like him have huge egos too. What your hoping for is a trade lol

    And yeah defensive size isn't raw height, or you'd say why can Jalen Green guard PF's since he's the same height as Tate... Tate can do what he does because he's 230 pounds lol
