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.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
