Knicks are sticking to their guns, NO quick fixes, but damn if this free agency summer isn’t putting that strategy and discipline to the test

Knicks couldn’t trade for Westbrook, even if they wanted to.
No salaries to match. Gotta wait til after December or trade deadline.

Russ just had a declining year - shot under 30% from 3, while shooting 5 of them a game. He is owned 171million after this year when he will be 30.

FOH with bringing that mess to our team. Hold fast, perry, stay the course.

I would be ok with Westbrook if he only had 2 years left because we would still have all that money for summer 2021. but he has freaking 4 years. Nah forget that nonsense. Stay the course perry and mills.

They would ask for several picks back from us, as well as some of our young players ie Knox, RJ, Trier.


You'd be looking at a Knicks team built around Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, and Russell Westbrook.

LeBron the second best small forward in Los Angeles.

(And the much less tough player.)

Y’all know deep down inside Russ is a player this FO will target.

There is no way we sign guys like Portis, Randle and draft a guy like RJ, and not go after a player like Russ.

Of course we would want him. He's got a big name, he's old, he's declining hard, he can't shoot straight, and his entire game relies on his athleticism which is vanishing. He's a perfect Knick.

Is anyone gonna be dumb enough to trade for Westbrook and that contract?

I understand it only takes one dumb desperate team but that contract makes him close to untreatable

Wouldn't he technically be the third best small forward because Paul George has played most of his career at the 3.

Russ is a straight up cancer. Durant ran from the dude and PG didnt want to play with him either. I say hard pass. Let's calm all Russ chatter. 1 more big draft pick and pray we get better and dallas stinks for 2021 draft.

Doubtful, we didn’t even court Kyrie when he was a free agent, Russ is an even worse leader
