Just moving screen after moving screen. I know the league loves offense, but man do they need to crack down on this happening everywhere. Players will get hurt/injured because of this.

Yea RJ tried to do that in game 4 I think (probably told by coaches they're letting it go) and he hip checked the dude into next week and was like what foul???
 
Not sure CLE will go for it, but the megadeal we are thinking of making should be for Cavs Evan Mobley. Young, 3OA in 2021 draft, has size, quickness + upside.
Would be a terror w/Robinson.
Cost likely AT LEAST Barrett, Randle + 2 firsts but if we can live with any other currency demanded, that is the deal they should make.

Offense makes the 90s Knicks look like the 2010s Warriors.

Can’t win games not being able to shoot. It’s incredible how bad they were

Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory [leading by 14 or whaev early on], b'c cold shooting, but MR needs help w/snatching the rock off the glass.
He's 1111% fine, but another board specialist stud is also a high priority. Would be nice if we had virtually automatic shooter like SF's Curry, but that is really exceptional to find/acquire

I got a letter from then GM Dave DeBusschere which had to be careful to not engage in tampering, but was complimentary of my suggestions.

What you got?

That's a horrible trade for the Knicks.Absolute crazy overpayment.Knicks need shooters,not big men who play soft for their size
 
Knicks won’t win anything with Randle

Guy is a bum and I’ve been saying it for a while

His body language this entire series was shit

I like JR. A lot. The teams shooting is so inconsistent. They need a better shooter or two.
Like Kyle Kuzma. Thib would make him a better player.

The biggest thing for the Knicks to do is develop another ball handling guard. Quickley really didn't handle the playoffs well.

Is that McBride? I'm not sure, but finding another player that can create for the rest.

Fournier will be a piece for them to move salary wise in the off-season. If a team is tearing it down, he has 1 year left (club option the year after that won't be taken).

That lottery was so rigged. Not the first pick...that was kosher. But for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th picks they broke procedure from what the NHL did. Instead of emptying the machine in between draws they just dropped the balls from the previous draw into the machine and started it up again. Who do they think they are fooling? What a disgraceful league. No wonder nobody takes them seriously.

Idk. I never noticed that part of the procedure before but I know the NHL does it differently and I prefer the integrity of the NHL's process. NBA is a joke league. Thank god I was in the college ranks.
 
San Antonio again. Just another generational talent center for them.
No matter who Charlotte picks will either bust or demand a trade in three years.
Now we come to Portland. Who wants to chase the rabbit.
Id like to see the Knicks get into the first round and get Dereck Lively.
 
I'm still giddy from this run. I wish Julius had never gotten hurt and had been able to play in the postseason the way he was playing in March...when he dropped monster games on MIN, MIA, LAL, & BOS...and that Quickley/Grimes had shown out. But we were the youngest team in round 2 and this was a great learning experience.

I hope our FO learned their lesson from 2021 and won't give away our advantages to over-correct for our weaknesses...it's too easy to see the old knicks trading RJ+ for a grandpa like Klay or PG who in theory would help our spacing, but in practice would cost us our elite rim-pressure without making our shooting reliable enough to carry us before breaking down for good.

Luckily I've started to trust this FO and if they do something more than replacing Obi with a more positionally versatile 3&D guy like Patrick Williams, Cameron Johnson, Dorian Finney Smith, DeAndre Hunter, Royce O'Neale, etc...I'm optimistic that it'll be someone who fits with our core's age range and is great at getting to the rim/line while improving our outside shooting.

Getting another team or two involved to turn RJ, Obi & picks into Jaylen Brown is probably our best case scenario. Though I can see our FO using a similar package with a few less picks to pursue Lavine...and if he came with PW our 9-man rotation would be looking mighty dangerous, with plenty of room for internal growth and the picks to make a KD offer next summer without it gutting the team.

Anyways was a great season and I will laugh so hard if at the end of the season it turns out that we were the only eastern conference team to take Miami to a game 6 :laugh:
 


I hated the trade the moment it happened. Gave up way too much, and it turns out that Denver may finally get that championship due to this trade (Jamall Murray was the Knicks 2016 1st).

Great career, but man they gave up way too much for a guy that was an amazing scorer, but lacking in a lot of other areas.

LeSwept (on the real tho, LeBron had 40/10/9 and played 47:55 like wtf crazy)

Jokic is a monster. Passes Wilt for most triple doubles in a single post-season.
 
Jokic is a generational talent..and I don't throw that phrase out lightly.I can't recall a center in my lifetime ever doing the things he can while putting up video game numbers

Before my time but old Magic Johnson is the only thing that comes to mind in terms of a playmaking center that can run his team like Big Honey.
