Nice creativity! Shot looks decent too. Hope he eventually comes over.

Wow. Now why can't we have a PG like that!

He looks like he got stronger and put on muscle mass. Perhaps his stated position of choosing to stay in Europe a couple more years is a smokescreen ... or not? Maybe he wants nothing to do with the Thibs or Dolan.

We need to run Magic Burks at the 1 for several more years first to reallllllly get a good look at him before even trying anything else

All he said in that interview recently is he doesn't want to come over unless he has a decent role/minutes. Makes sense.

Trade Mr. Cancer, Noel, and Burks, bring in Rokus Pocus, and let's go young.

He literally has no say. Leon/Perry should trade Randle, Noel, and Burks for whatever we can get. Then bring Rokus to play PG with IQ and Deuce and go young.

Rokus
Mitch
Fournier
Obi
RJ

IQ
Grimes
Sims
Cam
Samanic?

He’s an actual PG. I forgot what they look like being a Knicks fan, but I’d like to see that in a Knicks uniform

Fire Thibs

Play Rokas and Deuce as the two PGs

Problem solved

You’ll own the city if you can come here and take that starting PG position

I would be all for it if Thibs actually plays people that earn their minutes. He just says all that for show. He definitely has his favorites and plays them too many minutes.

Burks is not a PG yet still has the starting spot. If given a choice, I wouldn't play for a Thibs-run team unless I'm guaranteed minutes.

This guy never wants to play for the Knicks. Yet another f*ck up by Leon & co.

OK, as long as it's Magic Burks and not that Burks who can't play the point.

He actually attended our summer league though. I think he wants to come over as long as the situation is favorable. He's trying to play it smart.

Euro guards Knicks have drafted in the second round

Milos Vujanic. The old heads here will remember this name. Had a decent amount of hype, never came over.

Ognjen Jaramaz. Never brought him over. Not as big a deal because iirc he was the last pick in the 2nd round

Rokas Jokubaitis. On a struggling team that's been starved for PG talent for eons you'd think we'd make it a priority to get him over here to see what we can do. And if we're not planning on actually bringing him over there were a ton of interesting guys still on the board where we were picking. Ayo, Jared Butler, Boston. Get him over here next year cotdammit

He should have won last season to, but then somehow this title was given to Garuba

Steal of the draft. Knicks would be dumb not to make room for him and give a meaningful role.

Garuba was the right selection, his defense was amazing for a 19 year old.

Thibs will be ready to play him in 11 years when he's the correct age

Guy wants to play, but right now he is not NBA caliber. He could have come and spend a year in G league scoring 15-20 ppg. or he had a chance to go to Euroleague contender and learn from guys like Jasikevicius, Mirotic, Higgins and Calathes. Not sure what is better, but if he came over last year, thats one year of second round rookie salary wasted, cause he is not contributing much.
