Right now you can make moves to add pieces with Brunson's # being so low for a star player. That won't be the case after next season.

we dont need a star player...how many star players does minny have? okc?
we need to make this team stronger...most of these "star" players are done and will only get in the way of Brunson...
And Believe it or not- Brunson is the type of person who will work with this organization and his godfather...


You need to give Brunson help in the form of a second reliable scorer.

Can hardly call Randle 'reliable' in that department and defensively he's below average.

Would like to find another scorer who can take the pressure off Jalen Brunson. That has to be a top priority. He can't carry the team on his own. Not one player can. Role players are great to have but they will not remove the burden off Brunson.


Julius is 20/10/5. He's not a reliable second scorer? :lol: He's an all star player! Brunson needs a guy that can keep the team from falling off a cliff when he rests. That's the most important team issue. Brunsonless minutes. Julius even provided some of that too. This team is closer than many think. We have stars. We need them healthy.

If we take Minny as an example...I say Brunson needs a player who averages 21 like Towns that embraces Brunsons leadership like Towns does edwards...I think we should trade Randle- I dont think he fits the Nova knicks...and you know what...Divo might be the guy you speak of...Can he take the next step?

What? Were you not watching games in January? Randle was pretty much a perfect fit. This team was unstoppable with Randle/OG in the lineup. Randle is a 20/10/5 guy who was looking for other players and trusting the pass. I also recall more defensive effort as well. It was a thing of beauty! Why are people so quick to forget how we already played when almost fully healthy. We didn't even have Mitch that month.

Randle is fine - the way he was playing when he got hurt was fantastic. The problem is that when you add the 2nd option to the pot - you get someone else who needs to pound the air out of the ball.

Durant is really the perfect guy (archetype) because he can be an instigator, but also can be just a shooter. Ideally you want a less-problematic Draymond Green type as well who can facilitate and spread the court, but now we are talking about a few very specific players who can do all that.

Oh Forsure man you could see the anger and the fire in his eyes the entire clip. Why would you put a huge target on your teams back? People(and the refs) would have texted differently if it was said after game 1 and he kept quiet after game 2. Truly believe this works against them tonight, prepare the anus Reggie :lol:

:nod: :lol:
did you see the break down a couple of posts back(page20) breaking down that loss against Indy with Gibson playing 19 minutes?



Yup, Knicks are winning tonight lol

dont kill me bro- I was just getting back to watch games-I can admit...I didnt see it but all I've been hearing about Randle was how bad his playoffs was last year...are you saying that there's no substance to that?

It's a good question. I think he would be, but you never know.
Melo should have loved Lin making the game easier for him... but we all know how that worked out...

:lol: DON'T TASE ME BRO!

I was one of Randles biggest detractors two years ago. He was injured last year. This season he was playing his best ball of his career in January. The team played better than any Knicks team I have ever seen. We are a contender fully healthy. That's a fact. We are contending with a 7 man rotation right now. :lol:
