SU is not an expert on Achilles injuries (although I did tear mine about 5 years ago) but if you are the Knicks, how do you not offer Kevin Durant a max deal? Were they seriously making their move this coming year? Durant would have brought Kyrie. Now they are both going to Brooklyn joining Caris LeVert and some other young players. This will be a fun team for the next several years. SU is all in.
But wait: the Knicks have signed Julius Randle for – 3 years, $63 million. Sigh. The action is in Brooklyn.
Meanwhile, despite Aaron Boone’s managing, the Yankees did sweep the Red Sox in London. SU was curious today. You have JA Happ and CC both lined up to start but instead, you go with the Opener Line up and throw the rookie Tarpley out there who has probably not started a game for the last several years in the minors. Of course, he is lit up in the 1st inning. Then, with the big lead, it’s Chance Adams time? Let’s get the tying run to the plate in the 8th inning. SU says: try and win the games. You had 2 days off before the series and a day off on Monday. Try and sweep the games against your biggest rivals – they count double head-to-head.
They won anyway, of course, and the Red Sox are reeling. No bullpen at all. And I get the logic that it’s a long season and sometimes you lose a game in order to win the war. But not today when you had rested starters. Was he afraid to pitch them in a fly ball friendly park? Could be as Happ has already given up about 100 home runs this season.
Very curious. Each game was 4 and a half hours plus. Crazy.

That was awful baseball. I like scoring as much as the next guy but too much and too long. Home run park along with lightening fast AstroTurf. My guess is Happ and CC begged not to pitch
Ask Boston about Kyrie, the response won’t be so glowing. Just because the Knicks have the most incompetent owner in the NBA, does not mean they have to emulate the money giving craziness going on in the NBA. There is a real possibility that Durant doesn’t play again. I like their power forward acquisitions as they were weak at that position and had been for a long time. I don’t comprehend the Ellington and Bullock signings, as they are already swimming in shooting guards. What is the over/under for another season ending Porzingis injury? I say he lasts until November.
