The shootings in Black America are our biggest immediate threat. Not to say there aren’t underlying issues to why it’s happening. But internal violence or black on black crime is our biggest threat to our longevity and our ability to continue our overall existence.
I'm a fan of the Andre Drummond signing.
Of course I would've loved Mitch back, but considering our circumstances with the cap, Drummond is pretty solid.
We keep prolific rebounding off the bench. Drummond has the highest career total rebound percentage in NBA history at 24.8%, doesn't get much better than that.
He may be a downgrade on D from Mitch, but I believe the Knicks culture will elevate him.
He sets some of the nastiest screens in the NBA. He's a physical specimen. Imagine the open shots Bridges, Shamet, Deuce, and OG will get? The pick and rolls with Brunson?
But here's where it gets interesting:
Drummond can shoot an open 3. That's an entirely new element we missed from Mitch. He can further stretch the floor while providing the same rebounding effort off the bench.
And remember, there's still room to make a move for one more 5 and they can always make a trade during the season.
I love this signing.
Welcome to New York, Andre Drummond.
The rich get richer! The champion Knicks just picked the steal of the 2nd round, 6-7 Tyler Nickel from the greatest school in America. Trust me, he can SHOOT IT. #AnchorDown
So you let white children go through the parade route unscathed but arrest a young black teen trying to make it to school for his regents? If he misses his test that’s automatic summer school. @NYPDnews@NYCMayor@NYPDPC

Just want to say, As I sit here at Slate with @CPTheFanchise and The Knicks Chick, I still can’t believe this is about to happen.
