Day 318

Fresh Start_318: Nobody is talking about this…
I might be legitimately crazy. I truly believe that David Griffin is destine to work for the Knicks as the general manager of the New York Knicks. I came up with this “improbable concoction” on my podcast “The Grind Hours Podcast” with my friend Nick Paradies and it honestly makes sense.

Griffin would be the savor for the franchise if he comes to the Knicks because of what can happen once David Griffin signs on the dotted line. Griffin could call up his good friend Lebron James and say “come play for me again, and let’s start the banana boat! We already have Carmelo, and James Dolan doesn’t care about the luxury tax—so we can get Chris Paul. Oh, and since D-Wade was bought out by Chicago, we can sign him too. Lastly, we have Kristaps Porzingis as our center around you four.” Why would Lebron say no?

This will also solve the issue of Carmelo Anthony wanting to leave New York. If Griffin talks to Melo for a year, whispering the fantasy of the banana boat coming to New York, Carmelo would totally buy in because this would give him the best chance to get a championship.  
He does have a house in L.A. and a production company—but the opportunity to play in the “Mecca of Basketball” in the biggest media market in the world. With his friends that he has wanted to hook up with for some time now. Los Angeles was the place thrown around in the first place because Chris Paul was on the Clippers. The media connected more dots after the Chris Paul in L.A. thing. Now, CP3 is in Houston on a one-year deal, which plays perfectly for this scenario.

The obstacle of Dewayne Wade being under contract in Chicago, well they just got rid of Jimmy Butler, and Rajon Rondo—looking like they are starting to rebuild and go in a different direction. If Wade is having a good season this upcoming season and the Bulls are struggling, he will be unhappy—probably wanting a buyout. It would all layout perfectly for David Griffin and Lebron James in New York, and the fans in New York would embrace this like Jesus Christ is being reborn. The horrendous tenor of Phil Jackson will be forgotten if Griffin, Lebron, CP3, and D-Wade come to the Knicks to join Melo and Porzingis.

Now the Knicks would have to do some damage control with buyouts this season—continuing into the offseason. Joakim Noah, Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, and Kyle O’Quinn will all have to be bought out by the Knicks to clear the cap for this move to happen. It wouldn’t be the prettiest move right away, but the end product would be the best team ever constructed if the history of basketball. The Warriors wouldn’t stand a chance, but the Finals would be a hell of a lot of fun that’s for sure. So, as a Brooklyn Nets fan, PLEASE SIGN ME UP FOR THIS.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
