Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
Knicks deal for Derrick Rose.
Dennis Smith, Jr., and a 2nd rounder for a guy in the last few months of his contract.
That'll almost assuredly affect the minutes of Quickley, who plays the same position (in largely the same way).
Always thought Smith Jr would be a good player...athletic as all get out but can't shoot a lick from outside.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

New York beat out Milwaukee, Miami and the Clippers in the race for Rose for one simple reason: Unlike the other teams pursuing Rose, the Knicks weren't lacking in draft capital; The key to any deal involving Rose.
At this point, Charlotte's second rounder this year (the pick reportedly heading to Detroit in this deal) is projected via FiveThirtyEight to land around pick #38 in a 'better' draft than this past one. Low bar, I know... And, if nothing else in his short term as Pistons' GM, Troy Weaver has at least demonstrated the ability to, well, draft as opposed to his predecessor, SVG. Again, another low bar, but I digress...
I suspect, given the poor start to the season - though, IMO, they've suffered several hard luck losses (including last night in LA), and aren't as poor as their record when intact and healthy - the plan is to give Delon Wright, Saben Lee and now, Smith Jr. the lion's share of PG minutes, allowing the currently injured Hayes to be brought along slowly, and Wright can also be spend time at PG if Ellington (who may have some trade value) is moved.
Another possible angle: Fellow former 2017 draft bust, Josh Jackson has prospered under Casey's watch. Perhaps they feel as though lightening may strike twice with DSjr. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. If not, they have no obligation to Smith Jr. after this season.

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

Has there been one game this year where both teams have had their full Top-8 rotation players available? Top-7? Top-6? Starting 5?
I would love to watch just one game like this.

The Spurs are 14-10. How are they still alive?
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Bad 4th Qtr for Sexton

Wes Matthews appeared to be out of the rotation for the foreseeable future picking up 4 straight DNPCD's....then with AD and Caruso out last night, Matthews comes off the bench to help win the game. The Lakers do not win the game without Wes. It will be interesting to see if he returns to the rotation or a reserved seat at the end of the bench.
