We dont even know if Miami is his preference. Nothing from any of the national dogs even mentioning Miami so far.

I’ve posted about him a couple times over the years but just grain of salt.. i think it’s interesting he told me over the weekend and this week it’s been nonstop momentum for other teams in reports.

You'd be getting one of the most clutch players in the league after coming off of a season in which you lost about 15 games by less than 5 points. You'd also be getting that alpha that you were missing, allowing Herro and Bam to nicely place themselves in the scoring hierarchy (2nd and 3rd, respectively) - where they rightfully belong.
It would fix a lot of problems. If you couldn't get Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson is the next best available.
I still think this is all noise and Brunson resigns with NY lol

Brunson was out partying with all his teammates last night. Just a bunch of tabloid fodder. Brunson has too many internal connections in NY to ever consider coming here

Yeah he feels like a Knicks lifer to me. I think they're idiots for firing Thibs, KAT is the piece they should be considering moving (but won't) because he's too flawed a player in too many ways, and they could sell high on him now.
If for whatever reason Miami was in play, I'd think Herro would be involved in the deal anyways, or you move Tyler somewhere else since Jalen is already more of a scorer than passer, and focus on defense at the 2 and 3.
Regardless sticking to my original assumption that this is a boring offseason for us.

Feels right to be talking about my most hated rival again. The Knicks are gonna be really interesting this summer. That job could be an insane opportunity. That team has enough talent. I respect firing Thibs. His skillset is what it is. Agree with MWP too. No chance on them trading Jalen. He's a lifer. This team makes some minor adjustments they're gonna be fine. I also don't see them trading Kat unless it's a win / win situation. Hypo: Are the Knicks better with Donte and Randle (do they get this version of Randle) than they are with Kat. Depth vs Scoring.
