Knicks 2019 opening night line-up will be Kyrie-Frank-Knox-KD-KP
They have space for 1 max and if KD decides to leave the Warriors he could do a opt-in like Cris Paul and be traded for Hardaway and C.Lee. Warriors have the choice between letting KD go for nothing and not signing any FA because no money, or trade him for 2 semi-average players that won't clog the cap for more than 2 years

BOOM
Brilliant plan guivre!

Knicks have really changed in the management after the Jackson/Hornacek ****show, they would have overpaid a vet and traded Knox pick if Dolan was still anywhere near basketball operations
If he can build a contender, or just a team with assets instead of a crippled team without 1st rounder, he'll get a nice bonus on Knicks sell.
The Dolan trolling has ended

YUP
Dolan has come forward saying he will want to sell the team in the near future.
The writing is on the wall, and the rest of the NBA knows it. I predict he’ll build a contender and then sell when MSG stock makes a nice bump.

Ritzy event tells James Dolan he can’t perform song about Weinstein allegations
MSG and Knicks boss Jim Dolan was all set to perform his new song about Harvey Weinstein and sexual harassment at the starry Apollo in the Hamptons event with his band on Saturday – but he pulled out after he was ordered not to sing that song for the crowd of one-percenters.
Dolan and his band, JD and the Straight Shot, had been scheduled to perform at the event for the famed Apollo Theater, known as the Hamptons party of the summer, alongside huge acts including Chaka Khan, Sting, Jon Bon Jovi and Chris Martin last Saturday at billionaire Ron Perelman’s East Hampton estate. But a source said Dolan was dismayed when Apollo event organizers called him and warned him not to sing “I should’ve known.”

Fultz, Simmons, and Embid are just not a good fit. Simmons looks great as a primary ball handler but obviously needs to be surrounded by teammates who can space the floor. I think its likely Fultz will return to his college skill level but even then he is at his best with the ball and is not an elite spacer.
I actually think its a bad idea that the 76er's are trying to force Fultz into the starting lineup. I think it would be better for his comeback if he was the number 1 on the bench unit. Let him go against weaker competition so he can gain some confidence back. If he knew HE was the man then I don't think he would be as timid taking shots.

I agree 100% about bringing Fultz off the bench to be the primary scorer vs backups.
Great poast.
Knicks News:
Fizdale has announced that Frank Ntilikina will start at Small Forward and Kevin Knox will come off the bench.
Quote:
For now, it starts with Ntilikina as the small forward, but he can shift to shooting guard when Tim Hardaway Jr. goes to the bench. That may not happen frequently until he provides a higher three-point percentage, but in situational defenses, it works.
Opportunities will arise for Ntilikina to defend power forwards in smaller lineups. At 6-foot-6, he can potentially line up against Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors or Marcus Morris of the Boston Celtics.
The underlying versatile value comes through in Fizdale’s desire for positionless basketball. Ntilikina will shift through lineup variations, sans a designated position, and fit in wherever he’s needed, whether it’s on the ball, next to the point guard or on the wing.
Ntilikina’s role may shift start to start, and it’s intriguing potential for where he can go in Year Two.
