The between the legs dribbling is new. I wish him well and hope he takes advantage of the playing time he'll get before Porzingis comes back so he can cement his place in the Knicks rotation. Noah always seemed like a good dude.

Dwight Howard the anti-Durant:

“I just think Golden State, they’ve won a couple championships in the past couple of years. So, me going there and winning it’s like ‘well, you went to a team that’s already won.’ In D.C., I think the last time the Wizards won they were the Bullets if I’m not mistaken. So, I think that impact would be bigger for the city,” Howard said.

GS doesn't want Dwight. Even if he paid the team to play there lol.

Sydney certainly couldn't do worse than Sacto. The funny thing is Sydney didn't even make the playoffs last season. Now that they've signed Bogut, they've had quite a few decent role players sign. They've had a poor preseason compared to many other NBL teams, yet pushed the Clippers. That said, the NBL is so even, any team can beat anyone else on any given night. A lot of it comes down to effort, and Sydney certainly brought that against LAC. All NBL teams, even the bad ones, do far more with their salary cap of $1.1 million AUD (no, I didn't misplace the decimal or leave off a zero) than many NBA teams do with all their millions.

A lot of fans gave up on him too soon. I never wanted for him to go (+ his teammates here liked him); when he was here, he showed glimpses (power dunks, defense, etc.) so the video of him ^ surprises me a little bit but it mostly doesn't:wink: I wish/have always wished him well & he's going to have continued success/growth & be pretty good in this league/fine. Like u said though, I'd love to have him back!:smiley-yippee:
 
He showed glimpses of that while he was here. The issue was, he never followed it up by consistency. It's kind of annoying that they just dumped him, but one move does not change that he wasn't ready.

The trade for Milovan Rakovic wasn't too exciting either.
 
Looking for actual proof, but rumor has it Fultz hit a 3 pointer in the Philly game!!!!!


FOUND IT!!!
 
New York Knicks: Who stepped up in the preseason opener?

4. Noah Vonleh
Noah Vonleh entered the preseason opener on an unguaranteed contract, so his spot on the New York Knicks roster for 2018-19 hardly stands concrete. Four unremarkable NBA seasons needed to be put in the past, and for one night, that happened.

Vonleh didn’t play a minute until the third quarter, but he made his presence felt immediately. Energetic moves on offense, if out of control at times, and athletic work around the basket made for some highlight-reel plays. Some of them were called off, but it was eye-popping nonetheless for the veteran.

The Indiana product seemed motivated and with something to prove, which he does, and Monday’s game was a good start. It resulted in eight points and five rebounds in just 12 minutes, albeit with three turnovers and three fouls.

Was this enough to give Vonleh a longer run in Wednesday’s preseason game? It’s a crowded group for Fizdale to find minutes for, so something similar might be in the works.

With other big men to find minutes for, including Mitchell Robinson, Vonleh may need to provide similar production in a limited role. It’s potentially the maxed out version of his role, if he makes the team, so let’s see what happens next.

Vonleh had a very good preseason for Portland before 2016-17 too and it did not convert to a good season back then. I think he will still get a year or two to prove his worth in the league but I am not sure he will succeed at all.

Other GMs have the talent to plan a few months ahead, make trades, and easily avoid that situation. Ours has to bribe other GMs to bail him out.
