So Marc, I was so angry at the Knicks losing Mitchell that I swore off the NBA. Canceled all of my basketball newsletters including this one, and began to list my season tickets for sale.

Well, that lasted two days and the first thing I did we to reinstate my paid subscription to your newsletter. And I took my tickets down from Stubhub (well most of them) and started to look for positive stories on the Knicks. To my great surprise, there were a lot of articles praising the Knicks for turning down a deal for Mitchell that would have cost RJ, Quickley, three unprotected first round picks and one protected piece. Mind you, I still would have done it.

But even better, my favorite basketball columnist (that’s you Marc) begins writing about the EuroBasketball tourney. And even better, two of the best players have been Fournier and Rokas Jokubaitis. Rokas looks like a premier find for the Knicks so we can add him to our numerous first round picks over the next few years (could have four in 2023 although a long shot).

Hey Marc long-time reader of yours! I grew up in New York but have been living in Berlin for the past 8 years. We have similar interests - tennis, football, food, general nerd stuff. If you’re in Berlin for the business end of Eurobasket I’d be honored to share a meal with you or otherwise guide you around this amazing place!!

No RJ for team Canada.

Was hoping to digest some RJ contract insight. Good deal?, Mitchell ramifications?, deal with Jazz still on the horizon ?

Latest cookie crumble includes Mitchell scrubbing social media of any Jazz association.
