Knicks camp/preseason thread - Link in OP

morris and randle will start so yeah. payton and dennis will be probably about who is playing better. ellington aint finishing sh*t.

Oh really? Who’s spreading the floor?

Doton

Also Knox can be used as a floor spacer. There are options and different lineups he can go to. Everybody just assumes he's going with the vets but he never said he's doing that. He's likely going to use a mix and it all depends on matchups and so on

I just don’t think he’s a very good coach

[Capn'O]

No Frank?

RIP our boy.

No Mitch either. I wonder who we are trading them for

The other guy in the pic with Crazy Eyes II



Especially with rumors that the Nets are trying to pair Beal with KD, Kyrie, Jordan and Lance Thomas by dealing Levert, Allen, Dinwiddie and a couple future 1st round picks.

Robinson, Ntilinkina, Smith, Bullock and 3 1st round picks.

What did I ever do to you for you to make this post?

Honestly, you should have made all of their names and the picks bigger except for Bullock. **** that trade, man.

Mitch is a game-changing stud in his earliest phases but still already very capable of having a hugely impactful season. And you'll like it.

There really aren't very good coaches out there. Most of the guys in the league look better or worse because of their talent or lack of it. I think he's fine for our young group, they all rave about him, so for now he's fine.

More staged pics. Im ready for some damn ball.

so i'm thinking how this garbage can play out if fiz prefers vets over young guys.

robinson
randle
morris
barrett
dsj
----
knox is the backup pf/sf
portis is the backup c/pf
frank is the backup pg/sg/sf
payton is backup g
dotson is backup g/f
---------
gibson is emergency c
ellington is emergency g/f

BOLD TAKE. one of frank/trier gets moved for a 1st, they've created a log jam and someone has to go. payton is young enough to complain and be a problem if he's not getting minutes, also he's perry boy.

Knicks President Steve Mills says there were a lot of max type players that had interest in joining NY

“There were a lot of max-type players that we could have met with, that were interested in coming here. We had a certain way we wanted to build this team"

What max players?

Tobias Harris.

So for all those reporters talking so much shyt about the offseason..boy were those down soft ass questions..damn this media is atrocious.

The Knicks hyped their own offseason for 2 years - including Dolan's famous words.

What you're seeing is indifference by the media. They've attended one too many of these media days with the same stuff being said.

Barrett is not starting at the 2. You can bank on that.

Mitch was there just didn't talk to the media

Camp and preseason games will help determine who starts and who doesn't. I wish we had less vets...but....apparently the team thinks the vets will help push the players to become better. They didn't sign anyone that threatening. I can't argue the logic. I just wished this was a more youth oriented approach this year...or...BOTH of the last 2 years.

DSJ(21)/Frank(21)
Trier(22)/Dotson(25)/RJ(19)
Knox(20)/Iggy(20)
Randle(25)
Mitch(21)/Portis(24)

I would prefer that group as the rotation. Morris(30) will start. Payton(24) will play. Taj(34) will mentor and most likely play some minutes. There's no need for Ellington(32)/Bullock(28) to even be here. Time will tell how this plays out. You can't please everyone.

[3toheadmelo]

One thing I noticed from today is that all of our guys look like they're in great shape. So that's encouraging at least. Knox especially looks like he's on steroids. GOOD sign. Lol

[NYKat]

anyone shocked? fiz historically prefers vets and hates developing young players.

get rid of this snake oil salesmen.

he said that last year too. kevin knox still started a ton and was pretty much one of the worst players in the nba.

DIfference is we had lance Thomas/Kadeem Allen and other bums on the roster. You don’t think he is going to prefer playing Payton and Morris down the stretch because he trusts them?

Watch Payton/Ellington/Morris/randle continuously finishing games

That unit, with Mitch, is my prediction for starting 5
