Man, the Knicks are a mess. For some reason, coach Derek Fisher benched Cleanthony Early because he wanted to play his 10-day guys. I hate this idea so much and it makes no sense to me (click Early's name to read his blurb). The London game had 25 players see action, which made it a real treat to blurb today. Anyway, here's a look at how I'd rank the pickups with some trade talk mixed in, too.
Mason Plumlee - Brook Lopez is going bye-bye.
Khris Middleton - He's a must-add right now.
Zaza Pachulia - He is out-playing John Henson big time.
Reggie Jackson - He was great but OKC is pretty close to washing their hands of him.
Ersan Ilyasova - I kinda like him as a stash.
Tristan Thompson - Low upside, but Kevin Love is likely going to miss Friday.
Darius Morris - Starter?
Mirza Teletovic - If he can make shots, he can be a great asset. If I had a billion dollars, I'd be a billionaire.
Cory Jefferson - He might be in the rotation now.
Travis Wear - He is playing very well.
