Not including a 1st was huge. RJ I'm fine with moving and with Quickley the Knicks likely were never going to be able to bring him back in the offseason (I imagine at least one team would offer him a poison-pill type contract).
Now the Knicks have Fournier's contract plus all dem 1st's to make another deal.

OG should fit like a glove in the Knicks lineup. Getting Achiuwa was a positional need too.

Haliburton has 19 assists with 2 min left in the 3rd. There has never been back to back 20 assist games in history.

i mean, they were on a b2b from boston to detroit, made a late trade to take out a starter and 2 rotation players (?) without enough time to get the new players in, and still only lost by 2 points. if they wait until rn to make that trade they prob win


seems like everyone wanted this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was wrong, I think there hasn't been b2b 20a games with 0TOs. Still nice company

It was absolutely the desired result from everyone. Including 28 other teams. No oelne wanted to eat that loss honestly.

Probably correlated by the amount of fga average per game .
The last time it was that high with the latest seasons was exactly when magic was playing and stockton was starting to lead the leagues in assist .

Stockton is the craziest one. He's done it 7 times. Yeah the Stockton/Malone PnR was nuts, but thats still crazy.

it's complicated by the subjective nature of nba statkeeping and how that changed over the years. iirc they redefined how they counted assists in like the 80s or whatever, and certain teams were going wild with it. wouldn't doubt if the ppl in utah were especially so

Maybe but they have huge benefit of the doubt from me for stockton when malone end up second on all time scoring at that time too .
U cant fake those basket right ?

in that case yeah, but it's probably still exaggerated, at least a little. like, some other point guards for big scorers didn't rack up huge assist numbers. and it is a confirmed thing about how they loosened the rules about how assists are counted, from initially leading directly to a bucket. now it's basically just whoever passed the ball to a guy who scored, no matter if it happened 20 seconds earlier


i guess sort of what i'm asking is, has anyone ever watched those old jazz games back to see how they were counting assists?
because i know teams in various sports and leagues have run pretty fast and loose with that stuff

it's worse in hockey

since dfs hockey is huge for me and i watch a ton of the games anyway

i'll often notice a guy i had will do something absurd like dump the puck and go for a change, his linemate will win the puck in the corner, skate and do a button hook waiting for the fresh skaters to arrive, pass the puck to one of them, that guy makes a move, temporarily loses the puck to a poke check, recovers it and shoots and scores

the guy who dumped it in the corner and has been on the bench for the last 12 seconds between then and the goal and hadn't even passed the puck but dumped it gets an assist

there was absolutely no fluidity of the play, nobody in their right mind would view him as creating that goal, but the scorekeeper says "well player a touched it, then other team never got possession and player b got it and he passed it to player c who temporarily lost it but recovered so sure that's an unbroken chain so two assists"

Klay was washed last year, won’t be long until he’s 100% a liability.

What contract is he getting?

Can't imagine he's naive enough to command max money based on past services. On the other hand, I can see GSW overpaying him in comparison to what his market value is to make him happy. A bit like what they did for draymond

4/100 ?
