what a unique take? the best player on a team goes down and the team win's less? intresting, so you're saying injury luck matters? we should tell the Knicks analytics team this


I'm saying the Knicks are weak at backup pg.


I agree and we were last year as well. Yet they still went 11-6 without him when he was out with the injury last year and we do have maybe a little more depth

I mean, the team has all of the power here. They can say ... "ah, ok, we'll sign you on in two years time". But the player has no guarantee. (And, let me again bring up TJ Warren as someone the Knicks essentially **** over.)

So, no, really, you draft me in the first round, then pay me.

What is the alt-univ? The Knicks talk to Dadiet and tell him they'll draft him FR and then stash him and then .... ??? confused ..... wft is the endgame for Dadiet there, even in terms of guaranteed money,


The long and the short of this is that the Knicks FO is completely untrustworthy and players should have that in mind when dealing with them.

I mean his stats aren't great over the years but he played a long time and far as I know wan not injured. And his size could have been helpful? But maybe he sucked in the pre-season games which i did not see?


Nah, he was cooked last year with the Lakers

I assumed he had a relationship with Mike brown from his time with the Kings and that was the only reason he got a training camp invite

I don't think the Knicks harmed TJ Warren. They gave him an opportunity in the G League. Although he was balling, he also missed a lot of games due to injuries. In addition to that, the Knicks did not hold him in the G League. Any team could have signed him while he was playing in G-League. Okeke, who was in the same situation, has played some games for the Sixers and for the Cavs.

I don't think it's illegal for the Knicks to stash Dadiet against his will indefinitely. It would be just stupid because they invested an FRP in him and eventually another NBA team would want to trade for his rights (if he is playing well overseas).

As far as I know, Dadiet could only threaten the Knicks to sign a long contract without any NBA clause, making the Knicks pay some money if they want him.

I think the Knicks agreed to give him a roster spot to avoid burning bridges with the agents.

What makes them untrustworthy other than Jockitchbitus wasn’t good enough to make the NBA or he didn’t want to not start and the Knicks have Brunson?

I have no problem moving Dadiet but what exactly would they move him for? I'm much more concerned with the quality of the actual rotational players than some end of bench player making less than $3M.

If he can be used to upgrade the top 9-10 guys, return some decent draft capital, or another young player with potential fine. I'm not onboard with turning a 1st round pick after 100 minutes of playing time into another random older vet min/3rd string player that could be acquired for peanuts at any time of the year.
