“We had a very clear target,” Kahn said. “Anthony Randolph is a young player in our league who kind of fits the description of what we’ve been trying to add to our team.”
“Corey definitely provides energy and electricity from time to time,” Kahn said. “He is prone to make a very big play from time to time. However, it’s very hard in this league to have a prominent role when your shot and your ball-handling are not at an elite level.”

Tbf we've had some laughs at Corey brewer handling the ball especially on the break before so Kahn isn't totally wrong
But he does appear to know his own limitations and playing with love really helps him

he'd have to do something like go 0-11 in the first half of a national tv game and at some point in the 3rd quarter call a timeout and run to the sidelines and cut the sleeves off and then go like 9-9 the rest of the game. xp

i've always wondered if twitter started or merely exacerbated the trend of kids not knowing how to use apostrophes
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Thursday, 14 November 2013 15:29 (ten years ago) link
like when BJ says "JR smith brother". my hypothesis is that people who grew up with twitter are so used to not being able to make proper nouns possessive (because of the @ symbol), and now people just think it's right

no twitter is just making this more visible to you

ppl have always had atrocious grammar
Jennings used the apostrophe correctly in "isn't" though so some of that might just be twitter casual style
Or autocorrect which would fix isn't but not Smith's

lol grammar
― Spottie, Thursday, 14 November 2013 16:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah jordan is probably right, but the "isn't" is a different thing, the de-possessifying (amazingly safari does not underline this word so i'm leaving it) of proper nous is definitely its own thing in my world of young people

Chris Smith's inclusion on the Knicks' roster has stirred strong emotions among the team's fan base and, apparently, opposing players.Knicks coach Mike Woodson acknowledged that Chris Smith's ties to his brother influenced the team's decision to keep the 26-year-old guard. Chris Smith also acknowledged that his relationship with his brother has helped his career.Beyond that, Chris Smith is represented by Creative Artists Agency, which is an added layer to the Knicks' decision to keep him. CAA represents the Smith brothers and has close ties to the Knicks and Madison Square Garden. Carmelo Anthony, Andrea Bargnani, Woodson, assistant GM Allan Houston and front-office member Mark Warkentien are also represented by the agency.Some rival agents believe Chris Smith's roster spot with the Knicks was locked in as a package deal when J.R. Smith re-signed with the team in July.

just a very well-run franchise

what i don't get is why the knicks don't just hire chris smith as j.r.'s "personal assistant" or something so he can travel with the team but free up a roster spot they very much need
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 14 November 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link
it's just 490 thousand dollars i guess
i mean they already guaranteed his contract. just figure out a way for him to hang out w/out being on the actual team.
