They’re the ones with top level talent and that’s what wins in the playoffs. We have Brunson and good role players. Let’s not get carried away.

Murray is a talented douchebag!

Yup sure, but he’s no world-beater.

Whats the point of your post?

The Hawks wanted multiple unprotected first round picks...at least 2, not a couple of the crappy ones the Knicks have, they wanted at least 2 unprotected if not 3, plus swaps and youth for Murray because they paid a steep price for him.

Are people really ok with Murray being the 'star trade', the 'last piece' move because the Knicks would have been pretty tapped out on draft assets after it? Are they? Murray is doing this without Trae because he couldn't coexist with him so would he next to Brunson?

I'm of the opinion Murray would have fit much better with Brunson than Trae because Son of Rick is a better player, he's a culture setter and a winner, he'd figure it out. Although, this doesn't erase that trading for Murray would mean they have used their ammo on him, that's it, he's the 'star trade'.

The 'oh the Knicks should have' take about Murray is the typical empty of context Knicks fan whine, which does not really hold up to scrutiny once the context is added back in. He definitely is the best player the Knicks could have gotten at the deadline but it would have been their 'star' trade for the near future.

He’s not talented enough to substantiate his questionable temperment or acquisition cost

Exorcise your demons. Miami does not look good. They're hurt, their offense is horrendous, they have vulnerabilities on the defense.

2 or 3 pages about Murray because he took 44 shots to get 40 points. It took DiVincenzo 23 shots to have a 40 point game. C'mon, guys. The absolute state of our fandom.

This is getting real now because we face the Bucks one more time.

Win that game and we might be second seed if they lose one or two more games they should be winning.

At the moment, we're taking of business and winning the games we should win and they are not.

I’d rather keep the 3rd seed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want no parts of Miami because they’ll definitely injure one of our players at some point in that series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop it

Big big chance to try Murray next to Brunson, i think DDV is near perfect (but as a two) and is playing better defense than Murray.
If we want to upgrade at the two, considering Brunson at the 1, get Bridges or a wing in his mold.
And I would do that before D Mitchell.

They will be exorcised when miami is 6 feet under (aka eliminated).

How does a team lose by 60? At some point in the 3rd or early 4th, your up by like 40 points, the end of the bench comes in right? And somehow, the end of the bench puts up 20 more points than the other team in like a quarter?!

A pro team losing by 30+ points is usually a sign of guys not giving a sh*t
