This serves us no purpose as we don't have the luxury to keep him as a 4 or 5th option. Knicks are just hoping he turns into a #1 or #2 option, which is never going to happen.

It's the sunk-cost fallacy. We drafted him very high at #3 and now he has a fat contract. It's just a prayer that he turns into a great player now at this point. Knicks really went all-in with a pair of 4s.


and actually wiggins is a much better athlete which allows him to do some stuff rj never will

Barrett is a f*cking clown.

He's so arrogant. I actually think he should be at the top of the trade list. But Knicks hustle backwards, so we won't.

We needed to dump his bum ass for mitchell before we signed him to a big contract. I admit i wasnt that high on mitchell but i was ultra low on rj and mitchell is still a star.

He starts off every season like this. Wasn't he something like 4-40 FGs from 3 to start last season? I've had it with this guy. Never wanted him to begin with.

How the heck is Ben Simmons a better offensive player when he hardly takes any shots compared to RJ who takes 30 shots per game

There's no need to get that emotionally invested. We've been saying RJ is a 3 and D role-player for years. It is what it is.

I believe this is because people try to make him out to be a star. His role needs to be limited for him to be efficient.

RJ is not a good defender, but I believe in his size, and I'm willing to bet on his catch and shoot 3's more than his pull-ups.

Hence, 3 and D.

Knicks paid him like a star they won't let him just catch and shoot again so just enjoy RJ getting exposed on your 75 inch screen this is such a fun season.

We had a 26yr old superstar sitting there for us and Leon Rose chose Barrett and Grimes.

Let that sink in.

When you have a chance at a top 15 player that is young, you do it. Period.

We are done for 5+ years again.

How I'm wrong on RJ when it's game 17 n he's been out of it for 4-5 games but last game he looked better regardless if yall wanna admit it.

You'll see tn he should have another better game. Idk if he's not gona struggle, he still looks slower than normal n he's still breathing heavy which is not normal. We'll see tn but it's not the end all be all no matter how soon yall wanna write this **** off
