OT: NBA & Basketball - 2023-24 Season

[JCProdigy]

I...don't get it?

This seems like a huge overpayment for a pending UFA, no?

They'll likely resign him if they want to. His agent is Knick's GM's (Leon Rose) son. This was probably discussed over Christmas dinner

I have no clue what the upside of this

I hope they exchanged nice gifts.

Yeah! Jimmy Jr's blues CDs...gotta give the straight shot...

Excellent second half, going to need a bench piece before the deadline so these guys don’t die by the playoffs.

I have no clue what the upside of this trade is.

An incredibly better fit with the starting lineup than RJ. Unfortunately at the cost of a homegrown stud whose floor is a perennial 6MOTY and who's about to get every chance to prove he's a legit starter in Toronto.

At least I was able to scoop Quick from waivers in my fantasy basketball league to soften the blow of whatever he ends up doing the rest of this year.

Leon and Co. aren't done yet and the roster and trade assets are now fully primed for a finishing piece to be expected to have them competing a 'chip.

Personally, I'm not sad to see the RJ era end in NY.

And I think the importance of sending all these guys - Obi, RJ, IQ - to situations where they're going to be given every opportunity to succeed shouldn't be discounted. It was inevitable this roster was going to get shaken up and now that it's happening, you have to expect significantly less bad-mouthing of the Knicks organizations from exiled players than we've dealt with in the past. We didn't just dump these guys to the worst franchises in the league just to maximize their value.

Bumping because the Rangers are bad and boring, while the Knicks have been awesome to watch every night since the trade.

Go get another 1-2 bench pieces Leon, and go for it.

Still will have a bunch of draft picks left too.

@McRanger92 Nuggets just took that body

 

[mrmovies779]

OG is exactly the piece this team needed...and I was completely wrong about Divincenzo, the kid can play

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I HATE that the Knicks are now the best team at the Garden.

I thought they’d struggle without Hartenstein tonight but they continue to amaze me. Rangers need an Anunoby

Another clinic win today, hopefully Julius injury won’t be too bad.

 

[JimmyG89]

McBride and Grimes have really stepped up. That's the internal scouting you do. Everyone was saying where are they going to get bench scoring. These two are chipping in 15-20 a night. Hart is up too.

Sims hasn't looked out of place either. Would try and get him a similar deal to McBride.

Small deal this deadline, go and get another PG type for the bench.

 

[17futurecap]

Well oiled machine.

 

[mrmovies779]

This Knicks team reminds me of those early 70's Knicks team-Defense first,unselfish,deep,team basketball.

 

[Mac n Gs]

They just need to make sure they get everyone healthy and add one more bench piece. I'm sure they're already working on it, but locking up OG is a must too. Thibs must be shaking with excitement at the thought of having OG and Robinson on the floor at the same time. The defensive rating is going to be off the charts

 

[Machinehead]

Going to my first Knicks game tonight

So you're an Obi Toppin fan after all.

Yes

 

[Melrose Munch]

knicks are the best team in the east over the last month.

 

[McRanger92]

Will be in attendance tonight through work. Hoping we get Anunoby back and Haliburton sits out for Indiana.

Going to my first Knicks game tonight

Have fun….no matter where you’re sitting it’s an absolute blast….even if you have to pay for your own ‘beverage’

 

[Machinehead]

My love for Hartenstein is endless

 

[17futurecap]

Go NY Go NY Go!

 

[mrmovies779]

What a gutty win.This team never ceases to amaze me.Hartenstein and Achiuwa owned the paint and boards..Brunson doing Brunson things.Just wait until we get Robinson and Randle back
