I am tryna tell him he is delusional yet he will hear none of it. I was tryna talk sense into him that Grimes is a pure SG (nothing more, nothing less) and the Knicks view it the same as I do. Which is why they have loaded up on PG options that DO NOT include Grimes.

Let’s explore the PG depth chart and other future assets at the position ahead of Grimes:

Kemba | Rose | Quickley | McBride | Vildoza | Jokubaitis (future)

Yet Melo keeps insisting Grimes will see spot minutes at PG during Kemba/Rose load management days.

Can someone please talk him off the cloud he is sitting on after Grimes final few SL games eruption? We are all happy Grimes got more aggressive and shot the ball well… but once again, Melo is taking this basking and gloating thing too far!


Grimes seems like a pure SG if anything. They don’t need him to be anything else

That’s what I keep tryna tell him. He will hear none of it. He insists Grimes will play backup mins at PG. Mins that do not exist, there are too many bodies in front of him. Not even including the fact Grimes’ game do not feature PG skills. Melo is suffering from illusions of grandeur.

Let me make this clear. I was arguing with 2010 about Grimes capabilities not his role on the Knicks. He was a combo coming out of HS and we saw him threw some pretty dimes in SL (averaging 3 APG). 2010 lying about me insisting he’s gonna run point on the Knicks :lol: I told him he’s likely never gonna get the opportunity

I don’t see Grimes being a PG at all. Maybe he will make the right pass as a team player and not be a black hole, but anybody penciling him in as a PG is way off. :crazy:

Oh lord, Mitch. Garage work to country music? And his country ass really just asked his Twitter followers for gym buddies? Wow.

I f*cking love this kid, but can see how maybe NYC isn’t the right fit.

Let’s be real for a second

If Mitch stays healthy this team is way better regardless of his lack of offensive range. He is one of the best rim runners and defenders in the league

All of you hoops geeks are pretty wacky when you try to downplay Mitch because of spacing issues. It’s ridiculous. He is a terror in the paint and we’re just better with him than Noel who is fine as a backup or insurance

If he’s too flaky, too juvenile or lazy and he gets traded then so be it but he is still impactful as hell even if he is a few slices short of a ham sandwich

People thought Mitch would be fat? The knicks sent a staff to be with him.

I know yall saw the Instagram story on Randle page working out with Myles again...

To stir things up, Alec Burks hasn't been announced and we have no decision on Luca as yet.

I knew you were coming here to post lies!! :lol:

I already told you he may never get the opportunity to run point here due to the roster’s makeup but could see spot up minutes. But he has underrated court vision which is my main point. He is a combo guard in my eyes and not a SF like Josh Hart that you keep saying

I heard Chris Vernon (or was it Kevin O'Connor) say on the Mismatch that Grimes used to be an on-ball player back when he was a 5-star recruit. Said he turned into a 3&D guy after transferring to Houston. So you might be right that there's some dormant on-ball potential there.

I wish Mitch worked out on his shooting or low post hook shot or something maybe he doesn't have enough $$$ to hire somebody or maybe he's a mizer lol.

Yep he used as a combo in high school and even at times in Kansas (had a 10 assists game)

What I don’t get is this 3 and D label he got coming out of Houston though. I feel like it’s extremely lazy imo.

Just watch this. The majority of his shots are off the dribble


Even in SL now he’s shown he’s much more than a 3 and D guy. Out here hitting pull up jumpers, can get to the rim, hitting side steps and threw some nice dimes. I think his upside is Jamal Murray if he keeps improving and stays consistent. If not I see him as something like Jordan Clarkson off the bench

That was based on playing on the ball in H.S. where he was bigger and stronger than almost every guard he went up against (who was taking the ball from him?)

Almost every high school star guard plays on the ball in high school. Doesn’t mean it translates at the college level and definitely not the NBA.

As we saw with Grimes, he struggled mightily on the ball at Kansas, so much so that it led to him getting the bust label and having to transfer.

He doesn’t pass the eye test to me at all as a PG or primary ballhandler. Not even for spot minutes. To me, he is what he excelled at in his role at Houston. A shooting guard through and through. Let’s not unnecessarily complicate this. And even if he had combo guard skills (which he doesn’t), he certainly won’t see a single minute of PG duties on the Knicks. But as stated, that’s not realistically in his bag/skill set anyway, so…
