Excited for this guy- really looks like he's going to be a legit rotation player.

Summer league is going to be must-watch with that Kolek/McCullar backcourt.


Kid needs to stay healthy. Then we can see what he can do.

Yep between him our other yutes and whoever we can get for the mid level, I think our bench will be fully revamped next season.

It's been a bit of a rough start for McCullar which was to be expected, but he's trending in the right direction with back to back triple doubles. Hoping he can be a rotation piece next year.

Don't need to listen to this douchenozzle to know that as long as McCullar can stay healthy he will be a heck of a two-way player

Now get rid of the Orc so Kolek and McCullar can ball out next season

If we get bounced, I wonder if Leon and Thibs compromise on system. Like if it's Dice or big Brunson, but just allow someone to make some changes to the status quo.

Thibs is gone. We're not going on some magical run to the finals.

That will be up to the next coach.

I don't know about compromise, but I can definitely see Thibs being bounced if the Knicks are knocked out in the 1st round.

He hasn't played yet, but of the 4, I wouldn't be surprised if McCullar ends up playing the most minutes as a Knick. Not this year, but long term.

He might be the only one on the roster next year. We trade our kids with the quickness

Yeah, I could see them exploring a bunch of trades. Kolek, Dadiet & Huk could all be trade options, though Kolek might have a backup role next year. I think Dadiet's timetable doesn't fit the team so he's the most likely trade candidate. Huk could go either way.

I am thinking that Knicks are going to try to put knickles together to get a quarter back (see what I did there?)
Kolek, Deuce, Pac, Huk combine for Donte's contract.
KAT/Mitch
OG/McCullar
Bridges/Hart
Donte/Shamet
Brunson/Payne

Looks like something management would do.

I don't hate that, though I don't think Mccullar is a PF.

I'd like to get a legit 6'10 PF or another center (and move Kat to PF). But Donte would be a nice guy to bring back.
