Knicks Free Agent Frenzy

[Jeffrey]

It's going to be Bamba and Brunson.

Don't see Bamba coming here. Don't want to upset Mitch now that he's getting that bid extension.

Just tell Mitch that we made a mistake and negotiated with the wrong agent.


Bamba is 9000x more useful than Mitch ever will be.

Mitch going to look confused, forgot who is agent was because he just went through like 10 of them.

and he was playing with a future hall of famer Luka. On or off the court, Lukas presence is there. He sets the tone for that team. I do believe Brunson would work in NY but WITHOUT Randle

He was scoring in isolation, he was not playing off of Luka, he was a release valve for the Mavs when they couldn't get anything else. In the playoffs he was scoring 1.07ppp in isolation, for comparison Donovan Mitchell scored 1.13. Brunson was 5th overall in the playoffs for points total in isolation, and 10th in points per game from isolation at 4.4ppg, Mitchell and KD were tied for 9th with 4.5ppg.

You're trying to make a point that doesn't even make sense, he was scoring when Luka was literally out injured, what presence did Luka have then?


He is a legitimate offensive weapon in his own right and with increased touches, usage and opportunity is a lock to be a 20ppg scorer, much like Brogdan and FVV did.

Excuse me if i'm a little skeptical but remember the last time we gave a guy a hefty contract who played well in a contract year. Played so well, we resigned the whole team while bringing in Evan. Brunson thrived in Kidd's 5 out system. I don't see Thibs running 5out at all especially if we resign Mitch. The fans screamed for him to play Obi and Randle together but he forced Gibson down our throats!

You can't let previous mistakes be the reason why you are skeptical moving forward, the difference here between Brunson and Randle is that his shooting splits this year aren't a huge deviation from previous years. You can look at his stats and see there's a natural progression going on and all of it comes to one conclusion, which was "Give him more minutes". The same thing would happen if we gave Obi 35mpg next season, his per game stats would explode but I doubt there'd be any big deviation from shooting splits unless he improved as a shooter.

The Mavs started Dwight Powell for most of the season, he doesn't shoot the three, they also play at the slowest pace in the league. Brunson might take some efficiency hits with us, but the usage will increase and his stats as a whole will go up, he's got all the trappings of a 20ppg scorer, just like Rozier, Brogdan and FVV had before him. He's not an A list PG, he's tier below that but he's still very good.

Kings letting Donte DiVencenzo go for nothing is surprising

[Jeffrey]

Love Mitch but Mo Bamba intrigues me. Has more offensive tools to actually play a more modern offense.

I'm sure Bamba would love to come home.

Exactly, thought that was stupid. At least see the market and then make your move.

Any interest there?

Evan Townsend. Don’t know if he’s legit but on Twitter space just said that Mitch will be gone at 6:00 tomorrow.
No clue if he’s got sources

5:45?

Brunson visiting other teams is just to avoid tampering charges....details of contract have been out for days prior to f.a.

If Silver really wanted to devote the necessary resources required to fully investigate it, I have no doubt that he could prove this is a cover up. That’s assuming that Brunson signs with us.

Yeah quite few people have said this Evan dude drops news on spaces. Said Mitch is gone for sure.

Now ovbiously could be bs but interesting timing to take that stab when everyone is convinced Mitch is coming back

Mitch gone in an S&T and we getting something decemt back? Or because we are going big game hunting? If it neother that would kind of suck.

Possibly. Mitch never cared about the Knicks like most people drafted here like RJ for instance. Wouldnt surprise me if he goes to a southern team. I never sensed loyalty.

Mitch to me just wanted money. He didn’t care if it came from someone else besides us.

[Jalen Bluntson]

We dropped Noel AND Mitch? I'll believe it when I see it but, it doesn't make sense. They gonna bring in Bamba or a stretch 5 type? Change the way they play? Thibs is gonna change his style?

All he said was that Mitch was 100% gone. Would have a new team come 6:00 tomorrow.
I hopped into that space just to listen and he came in and people were hyped he joined and he dropped that.
Like I said though. I don’t know if he’s legit or not. Just interesting since every outlet is making it out like Mitch is coming back.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Mitch/Randle/picks for Ayton incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[K_ick_God]

Didn't Bamba start off the season hot? What happened? Don't bother answering. Welcome to the Knicks Mo Bamba.

I don’t see how. Too many family connections to prove any collusion.

[3toheadmelo]

let us pray Mitch is gone in a sign and trade for Ayton
