I love @friends-table.bsky.social so much. I'm making my way through all of the seasons again and just got to the end of Spring, right before the epilogue. It's such a thoughtful and beautiful show. Every time I hear that soundtrack it's like coming home. Made me a better person.

Dallas have Morez Johnson, Derick Lively and Daniel Gafford ahead of Cisse. Lively is still out though. Maybe they don't match or maybe this puts pressure on them to do a sign and trade #knicksSky

Dear Dallas, give us one more gift and do not match please #knicksSky

The LeBron thing is somehow more annoying than the Giannis thing. Just get it over with already. #knicksSky #nbaSky

OG is my spirit animal #knicksSky

Music notation is so god damn unintuitive. I know what all of these mean separately but how are you supposed to read this quickly?

Nobody has ever felt pain like a lightly grazed soccer player.

We did it! I think both Nickel and Kayil are promising enough to sign to a 2nd round minimum. Wouldn't hate Liam Robbins and Dillon Jones on a two-way. Bring back McCullar on a two-way as well. Then the difficult decision is who to send out for a 3rd center. Dadiet, Kolek or McBride? #knicksSky

Wow that were two atrocious passes by Sellers in a row #knicksSky

Summer league game accidentally became fun #knicksSky

No Dadiet, no Diawara. Nickel is going to take 35 shots 😅 #knicksSky

Rewatching game 4 of the finals. Man the league really wanted KAT out of the game. Ridiculous #knicksSky

Having Kolek in these summer league games would have made a world of difference. #knicksSky

Diawara will be fine. Like what I've seen from Nickel and Dadiet. Would be nice if Dadiet made some 3s. #knicksSky

Jamie Cullum was great as usual at #elbjazz festival

Unrelated to second apron issues. Fuck James Dolan forever #knicksSky

Glad Clarkson is back. Now get me a mobile, defense first center, who preferably is not older than 30 and we are good. #knicksSky

I don't know why people want Valanciunas as the 3rd center. Would be nice to have someone who is somewhat mobile and can play defense on the roster. #knicksSky

I'm so ready for Diawara ball this weekend #knicksSky

I'm keeping Clarkson over DeRozan if I'm the Knicks. Changed his entire game to contribute and seems to be a great guy. #knicksSky

Drummond is fine but he isn't staying on the floor against a good offense. Still need a 3rd big that can defend. Preferably a young guy we can develop and keep long term. Also bring back Clarkson. #knicksSky

I'm glad they are not just looking at the most convenient left over free agents🤷‍♂️ #knicksSky

Feels like a good day to get some centers. Taking more than two days to sign Looney or Richards is weird to me. Maybe there is more going on after all. Favorite targets: - Diabate - Kalkbrenner - Missi #knicksSky

Jesus the Lakers are signing half the league #knicksSky

Get me Diabate Leon #knicksSky

It's going to be Nick Richards isn't it... #knicksSky

If Kawhi stays healthy the Raptors might be scary #knicksSky

Is that Trey Jemisons music? #knicksSky

Well I think this means we have to trade for an actual backup center now, not just sign a salary slot to be used at the deadline. Good for you Ariel, get paid. #knicksSky

I know a lot of Knicks fans have mixed feelings about Lebron, but this team repeats. If he'd take the tax MLE and is okay with a bench role you pay what it takes to get Diabate. The only thing stopping this team is turbulence in the lockerroom. #knicksSky

They are not extending the qualifying offer, which is more than the vet minimum. The idea is likely to sign him to the vet minimum. That way they save about 200k #knicksSky

Been watching some of the backup center options for the Knicks. I love how quick and agile Diabate is, a completely different look. Don't think we have the passer to set him up the way the Hornets did with Ball. He looks really skinny. Don't know how he holds up against stronger centers #knicksSky

Man and the Suns were just on the upswing. Good business by the Hornets to get rid of him. #nbaSky

Keep Jonathan Isaac far away from my team #knicksSky

Man Dylan Cardwells analytics are great last year. Only played one year on a terrible team though, so it it real and sustainable? Garden would love his personality though. Kings should not give him up though. #knicksSky

Don't love the Richards and Looney report. Never liked Richards game, there is a reason he is on a different team every year. Looney might be cooked. I still think Day'Ron Sharpe is the best option if you can pry him away from the Nets. #knicksSky

Diawara back ✅ Alvarado back ✅ Shamet back ⬜ Backup center ⬜ Happy these guys are back. I think both will make a big impact this year. Alvarado already proved it in the finals. #knicksSky

I want nothing to do with Deandre Ayton and Andre Drummond. If it isn't Mitch: Day'Ron Sharpe Jock Landale Moussa Diabate Yves MissI Precious Achiuwa Or if the front office has trust he can do it: Ariel Hukporti. I haven't seen enough myself but they have better insight there. #knicksSky

If you feel the need to get more annoyed at James Dolan, listen to the new episode of Old man and the Three with Shamet and Turturro. How can you not do everything you can to make sure to keep guys like that. Just pay the money Dolan. #knicksSky

If the goal is to repeat, a rookie center is not the best option as your backup. If you think Hukporti is a good 3rd center but not a full time backup then you don't need to draft a center. I would have liked them to get Reed but if they want a vet the process of not drafting is sound. #knicksSky

This is the best I could come up with without completely gutting our guard depth. Doubt that's enough to keep Mitch. You could let Jose go and trade Deuce, sign 2 vets mins more, that gets you another ~3.5 million. But then you are losing 3 rotation guys instead of 1. #knicksSky

Leon better not trade Kolek. Nickel and Dime need to the see the court together when Clyde is on the call. (Don't know who came up with that nickname but I love it) #knicksSky

Can't wait to hear what Clyde calls Ugonna Onyenso. #knicksSky

If they don't end up trading 31 or end up just a couple of spots lower get one of Evans, Sharp, Saunders, Veesaar. Sounds like they are trading the pick though. If they just stick with 47 and 55 Dillon Mitchell and Ugonna Onyenso are good targets I think. #knicksSky

The real question is which random 40 year old draft rights guy do we trade for #knicksSky

Not saying I like this but I think we end up losing both Mitch and Deuce. Mitch due to the salary and Deuce in a trade to get a quality backup center. Sochan is probably gone as well. Clarkson depends on how much money he wants. #knicksSky

Guys to look out for tomorrow: Guard: Emanuel Sharp, Meleek Thomas Wing: Richie Saunders, Isaiah Evans, Dillon Mitchell Center: Henri Veesaar, Ugonna Onyenso, Trevon Brazile, Maliq Brown They have at least 3 picks, maybe more. Might use those plus a player to trade for a center. #knicksSky

No Ejiofor or Reed. You are not getting a backup center in the second round, third stringer at most. So they either bring back Robinson, go with Hukporti, trade for a center or sign a free agent center. Assuming they stay under the 2nd apron. #knicksSky

Sounds like the Knicks are staying under the second apron. This means unless they take big paycuts, one or multiple of Robinson, Alvarado, Shamet and McBride are gone. Most likely is Robinson because he would likely make the most. #knicksSky

Thank God that's over. The most important question remains. Are Thanasis and Alex in the deal too #nbaSky
