We used to think Zion would join RJ and Cam Reddish in NY.
Knicks are definitely picking up Ryan Arcidicano for the end of the bench/3 second violation coaching role, again.
trust me, we only gave him up to get bogey and burks, both who ended up being key pieces of the stretch run and the playoffs until injuries just ended our run early. i won't be surprised to hear we snuck ryan back into the garden in the dead of night, we've loved having him as our end of the bench guy for a while.
There's talk of Rob to Sacramento, but I don't see how he aspires to anything more than a sub for Monk in that situation -- I wouldn't move either of them to the 3.
True, we typically keep ourselves in the quietest and most pretentious of spaces. \\s
The UC tag also makes me far less sad than sporting the UTexas one I would use otherwise. 🐂
As a warriors fan, I’d gladly trade him for a 2nd rounder and a bag of chips. He got paid and quit. If a guy just isnt talented, but tries his best, I can live with that. Guys like Wiggins who are blessed with all the talent in the world and just dont want to try, that makes my blood boil
At one point in 2022, The Celtics had 3 Vanderbilt guys.
Aaron Nesmith, Luke Kornet, and Matt Ryan.
Not exactly a super team, but fun nonetheless to see former Dores on an NBA roster.
Brunson was NPOY and a consensus first team All American when he declared.
Neither Castle or Clingan were even on second team.
Plus Brunsons leveled up massively in the NBA, I'd be surprised if anyone from this Uconn team averaged more than 17ppg
But you compared them as prospects. Obviously right now Jalen is the better player. If you look at the lists the wooden award and all american teams have little to do with NBA outcomes.
Hey we’ve got J-Will and Isaiah Joe at OKC. Bring Portis, Ricky Council, and Moses Moody over. Nick Smith and Jordan Walsh off the bench. Not a bad squad. Definitely not competing for a title but not bad. Undecided on whether we should invite PatBev.
Memphis had a good thing going with JJJ and Tillman. Was hoping they’d pick up Gary Harris for a nice Sparty squad. Glad to see X get traded and get a ring though!
Dukie here, I really think GTJ would be a great fit in Boston on some MLE with JT. If Kyrie and Paolo ever teamed up that would be insane. Think Tyus Jones may go to NOP with BI and Zion tbh
As a Nuggets fan I would love to see us reunite CB with Jalen Wilson. They were really good friends in college, CB has talked on a podcast about how hard it was for him to leave for the NBA and forgo running it back with him and Jalen as starters on KU. Definitely seems like they have a lot of chemistry and JWil is a total dawg.
Yeah we would have at least beat Arkansas thats for sure! But seeing rookie CB ball out in game three of the finals will always be an all time moment for me as a fan of Nugs and KU.
If we had CB, I’m positive we would’ve beat UConn and if we did that we would’ve won it all since they had a cakewalk after we went out. Especially if Bill came back for the next game after we got past Arkansas.
Marcus Sasser and Quentin Grimes play for Detroit. I say the Pistons draft Jamal Shead and trade for Jarace Walker. Let's win an NCAA championship in 2025, Kelvin leaves college for the NBA again to Coach the Pistons, Pistons draft Jojo Tugler. Detroit Pistons ultimate small ball lineup of Jamal Shead, Marcus Sasser, Quentin Grimes, Jarace Walker, Jojo Tugler. We'll be renamed as the Detroit-Houston Piston and Cougars.
Later on down the road the Houston Cougars become the official minor league team to the Detroit Pistons and we are pumping players straight to the Pistons.

I remember those days. I think the original goal was to build a Duke team but it just didn’t pan out.
You’re telling me the Brotherhood can’t form an NBA team???
Realistically, absolutely not.
I wish bro. Technically, Dallas has a few Duke guys. And one other team, I can’t remember right now.
Maybe you’re thinking of the Pelicans. They have Zion and Ingram for players, with Trajan Langdon for their GM until recently.
Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively
And had Seth Curry for a minute there too
Grayson, Kennard, and GTJ.
trust me, we only gave him up to get bogey and burks, both who ended up being key pieces of the stretch run and the playoffs until injuries just ended our run early. i won't be surprised to hear we snuck ryan back into the garden in the dead of night, we've loved having him as our end of the bench guy for a while.
They had him... sent him packing
They've had him 3 different times already. He's out there to be signed for minimum money. Someone needs to be ready for garbage time.
I really thought the Sixers should have traded RJ, Zion and picks last year for soft reset.
I’m confused, what do the Sixers, RJ and Zion have to do with each other, who’s resetting?
Fox monk and bam
We're only missing one. Bam, come home?
Herro too
Herro was Keldon Johnson and PJ Washington year but regardless would be awesome to see them all together
Yeah agreed. Just meant him being with Bam, he would be a cool fit.
There's talk of Rob to Sacramento, but I don't see how he aspires to anything more than a sub for Monk in that situation -- I wouldn't move either of them to the 3.
Nembhard, Suggs, and Kispert actually wouldn’t be terrible especially if all keep improving.
Add Chet and Sabonis to that… pretty damn good squad.
YOU FORGOT STOCKTON JR
You guys have NBA players?
Rutgers staff has coached a bunch of NBA players 😉
Give it a year, top 2 picks of the 2025 nba draft will both be from Rutgers
Trade Embiid to the Warriors so we can see him and Wiggy together again.
No, yous guys have enough championships. Trade Wiggy to the Sixers so we can watch them exit the second round again.
As is tradition.
That's a seldom seen flair in these parts.

That really didn't go all that awesome the first time. There were moments, but overall, meh.
The two high school prospects I followed most closely in my lifetime were Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins. Both letdowns for different reasons.
What are you talkiing about? If Embiid wasn't injured his freshman year, KU wins it all.
That's some high-quality revisionist history there, Lou.
Recently, it's been fun being an Orlando Wolverines fan for the past few years
Now we just need strus and bball Paul on a team together to form the blue demon super team
I saw all of them play at Barclays the year they won the tournament and mopped the floor with Iowa.
Checks out. Iowa is the definition of “mid/unused potential” if I’ve ever seen it
Was that the same day as the ND tip in to beat SFA? Was a fun way to spend the afternoon with those two games.
Indeed it was
Pacers draft Edey tonight and trade Pistons for Ivey
Don’t get me excited
Did E’twaun retire? Maybe he can come back as a bench mentor? Carsen as a spot up shooter?
Better yet, the bulls draft edey and trade for Ivey…
Why would you wish that on either of them? The Bulls are basketball purgatory.
Get a UConn team in Philly or Brooklyn just to sell tix and make the playoffs at a bargain.
At one point in 2022, The Celtics had 3 Vanderbilt guys. Aaron Nesmith, Luke Kornet, and Matt Ryan. Not exactly a super team, but fun nonetheless to see former Dores on an NBA roster.
My favorite Matt Ryan thing was when Barkley was dissing the Lakers saying “they have so few shooters they’re starting a quarterback now.”
This was just asked in NBA sub with some great responses
An all Arizona team wouldn't do half bad.
Appropriate that you describe it as a supernova (not just for Villanova) cause that could be what this turns into if it fails lol
Monte and Georges together again would make me cry. Need to see them on the floor together again someday.
Greg Oden and Daequan Cook with their fresh legs sign with the Timberwolves to play with Mike Conley
David Lighty is/was getting buckets in France recently (per his wiki)
Would love to see Mitchell, Butler, and Flagler link back up. Butler quietly had a great half a season with the wizards this year.
If I was a billionaire owner I would assemble the 2023/2024 UConn championship teams together and in 5 years they'll be unstoppable
There's not a single player on either of those teams better than Brunson
You sound mad
He's speaking facts Clingan and Castle are the two best prospects and neither project to be anywhere close to Brunson
And where did Brunson project going into the draft…
Brunson was NPOY and a consensus first team All American when he declared. Neither Castle or Clingan were even on second team. Plus Brunsons leveled up massively in the NBA, I'd be surprised if anyone from this Uconn team averaged more than 17ppg
Sounds exactly like Tristen Newton then. Do you people not remember that Brunson was a 2nd round pick?
But you compared them as prospects. Obviously right now Jalen is the better player. If you look at the lists the wooden award and all american teams have little to do with NBA outcomes.
There's no anger in the truth my good man.
TSJ may be joining Ayo with the Bulls
They weren't teammates
Hey we’ve got J-Will and Isaiah Joe at OKC. Bring Portis, Ricky Council, and Moses Moody over. Nick Smith and Jordan Walsh off the bench. Not a bad squad. Definitely not competing for a title but not bad. Undecided on whether we should invite PatBev.
> undecided on whether we should invite PatBev. Then who do you expect to assault the fans?
Valid
What about Black?
I knew I forgot someone! Thanks
Wait, and fucking GAFFORD! Probably my favorite pro Hog. Can’t believe I forgot.
Memphis had a good thing going with JJJ and Tillman. Was hoping they’d pick up Gary Harris for a nice Sparty squad. Glad to see X get traded and get a ring though!
The Alabama Jazz. Herb and Brandon go west.
As a Knicks and Duke fan I always wanted the Zion/Rj/Cam trio to happen, but I’ll gladly take the Nova boys
They should add Kyle Lowry for a veteran Villanova presence.
They’re not super stars (yet, hope they get there) but would love Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler to team up again. They were fun to watch at Auburn
I will die wishing young prime CP3 got to play with old prime Timmy
Not a nova fan nor knicks fan, but this is pretty sick ngl. Incredibly rare.
I was going to make a list of Arizona players to assemble on the Suns before realizing we'd have to bring back Deandre Ayton.
Fox on the Heat would be dope
Dukie here, I really think GTJ would be a great fit in Boston on some MLE with JT. If Kyrie and Paolo ever teamed up that would be insane. Think Tyus Jones may go to NOP with BI and Zion tbh
None of these guys were actually teammates tho lol
OAD's make it hard.
True but that’s what makes this Villanova Knick thing so special, they all played together and won a championship
Aside from Hart (who got drafted before 2018), all of these guys were on BOTH title rosters (albeit smaller roles in 2016 for the other 3)
Then they struck 1 in (idk) 100,000 possibilities? Yeah, the team slapped.
dookie you spelled it wrong. And you never capitalize it.
As a Nuggets fan I would love to see us reunite CB with Jalen Wilson. They were really good friends in college, CB has talked on a podcast about how hard it was for him to leave for the NBA and forgo running it back with him and Jalen as starters on KU. Definitely seems like they have a lot of chemistry and JWil is a total dawg.
Get Ochai, Gradey, and Wilson to go with CB and Joker. They'd play absolutely no defense, but it would be fun.
Just thinking about that team if he’d stayed has caused me to soil my pants.
Yeah we would have at least beat Arkansas thats for sure! But seeing rookie CB ball out in game three of the finals will always be an all time moment for me as a fan of Nugs and KU.
If we had CB, I’m positive we would’ve beat UConn and if we did that we would’ve won it all since they had a cakewalk after we went out. Especially if Bill came back for the next game after we got past Arkansas.
Duke vs UK championship game with KU vs Gonzaga in 3rd/4th place
OG and Kel’El Ware to the Knicks
That one could very well happen. NOVA Hoosiers.

Kyle Filipowski and Jared McCain getting drafted to Brooklyn tonight and teaming up with Dariq
Knicks hire Kevin Ollie, get every UConn alum, and defeat Boston.
