Do you want him?

I think he can still play but his mind seems way too focused on that next contract that he's not letting the game come to him and he's thinking way too much about getting numbers so he's just out there gunning for his.

Maybe once he gets paid he might relax a bit and play smarter but right now it seems like a disaster


i'm not sure because i think you gotta max him and that's rough. at the same time i think the knicks are gonna spend money this summer on someone and he's one of the few good options you might get. they can't afford to tread water for another year, they gotta show improvement to keep their jobs.

i see the choices as - max vic, overpay trent to steal him, overpay dinwiddie coming off a bad injury. the only way to get anyone here is to overpay unfortunately. you could try to trade for lavine too but i think the cost won't make it worth it.

i need to see where we are at record-wise at the trade deadline because that will help me think about whether we should be buyers or sellers.

if i had to guess which one is most likely thought it's vic. so i'm mentally preparing myself. :lol:

They will spend for sure just like they were ready to spend on Gordon Hayward but they will either have their limit as far as what they are willing to spend and if the player demands more then we move on or it could be that the Hayward situation and the way he's been playing well in Charlotte might make them more inclined to pay more.

A lot would depend on where we are at the end of the year and what they think the goal is for next year with Julius.

Personally I'd rather take Trent since he's shown a willingness to take a backseat and Oladipo still seems like he's trying to be the guy. Looking at how Oladipo plays right now, he'd probably be ok playing with Julius but as far as RJ goes he likely won't even touch the ball all that much next year with Vic. We'll see though, Oladipo still brings it on the defensive end though so I'll give him that. It's the offensive end where he's been pressing way too much. And like I said maybe that changes once he gets that financial security

Let's pretend we're untethered from traditional norms for a second and stretch some logic

What we could've done in the offseason:

Step 1: signed Fred VanVleet
Step 2: draft Haliburton at 8, Bane at 25, and Quick at 33
In a world where VanVleet wants to sign with us, I'll assume Quick is still there at 33
Step 3: Roll into the season with

VanVleet/Quick
Haliburton/Bane
RJ/Bullock
Randle/Knox
Mitch/Noel

Easily top 6 team in the East, maybe top 4. Fixes pretty much our biggest problems, that of playmaking, scoring, and shooting from the backcourt

I know there's no way we would have done this, especially since in this scenario we're drafting 3 guards after signing one to a big deal, but this is something that was possible to do, with the only question being if Quick makes it to 33, which I think there's a good chance he would have.


I don't think FVV was ever a real possibility but as for the draft

Haliburton at 8, Bane at 25, IQ at 33 would've been great

I was a huge Bane fan. went into the draft wanting at least 1 of Nesmith, S. Bey, Bane, IQ, Joe: the 5 best shooters IMO so at least we got 1 of them, but we need even more. Hali, Bane, and IQ, that would've really helped as all 3 are very good shooters.

Question is: would IQ have fallen to 33? I think so based on where he was projected, but I guess ya never know. glad we got IQ
