Yup. But a CP + Rose PG tandem might work out great IF Paul would agree to a reasonable contract.


It might...but it would be crucial to have enough suitable depth in case something happens to the two oft injured players. Although, the issue is if a team relies on them as their primary PG rotation what chance is it that the depth guys can perform anywhere near as well as either of those in case something does happen?

A team will only go as far as they stay healthy and as the Suns are showing us right now that might not be the best solution to the ever present PG questions for the Knicks. With two of them maybe the Knicks could stave off injury woes enough to get deep into the playoffs but I'm not sure it's enough to get to a title.

Better than what we got is better than nothing I guess, too.

My opinion on cp3 is hell no. cp3 is done. He just doesn’t perform in the playoffs, never has, just doesn’t know what it takes to win. He looks terrible out there. We already have Rose in the older vet pg role and he looks much better than cp3

Crowder getting clowned is very satisfying since he seems to want to clown on us all the time

Lakers bench is too corny. Showboating when you're up.

Booker ain’t it.

I suspect Burks may go on to greener pastures so to speak and maybe Lonzo comes instead.

Think of the defense with Mitch, Randle, Kawhi, RJ and Lonzo... the Knicks might lower their opp ppg to below 100.

It's too bad they don't have a franchise player like Randle who can rely on his D until his shot shows up to finish out an important game

Booker with the horrible defense in the 4th. They really missed CP3 because at least they can match the firepower on offense.
