What time is the press conference?

[F N 11]

This confirmed??

Woj tweet. Not official until the 6th. Still time to become a S&T as well. I can't tell you how much I want one of Randle/Evan added to this deal. The Mavs need a TPE so...they can take one of those guys too get one. Evan makes more sense I guess.

We have their pick we don’t want to help them.

[Knicks Byke]

we used to be Bron's son...






now we got Brunson.

So terrible I had to and 1 it


Also, give you the don demarco drop

Watch on YouTube

[SelbyCobra]

why couldn't he be his dad's height, damn he would've been unstoppable

His Height don’t matter he’s tough and finishes amongst trees on ridiculous percentages.

I really like the make up of this roster, IF the setting lie up moves to:

Brunson/Grimes/RJ/Randle/Mitch

I’d obviously love to move Randle, but I do believe he starts off the year hot, and hopefully his trade value increases to where we could offer Julius/4 1sts and filler for our missing piece

You fell off real quick. Went from talking about championship aspirations and contending to toasting for Jalen Brunson and mediocrity

You out here pulling Green Arrow stunts

I'm still on the championship wave, I just understand waiting on superstars with nothing but a hope and a dream isn't how this works.

You mentioned Simons, he was RFA, you want Donovan Mitchell, he's not on the market, you wanted Ivey, the Pistons/Kings weren't trading the picks. Every option you've mentioned wasn't obtainable. We could still end up in the lottery with this move, which is perfectly fine, at least we'll have a PG so we don't have to pray 1 will fall to us and they don't.

We’ve got a backup quality PG on a max deal. The fact that you just admitted that we spent 100 mil on this one player with possibility of still being a lotto bound team tells me I’ve got nothing to celebrate here. You go party your butt off though

I will tell you this, I like Brunson way more than the other signings especially the Randle and Fournier signings. I’ll easily root for him to succeed but expectations aren’t going to be low. They treating him like a superstar well now it’s time to live up to the hype. Let’s see what he’s really made of

He’s not a backup point guard. He’s clearly a player that if you put in a scenario to do more he will give you better numbers. I guess he will have to prove that this season but it’s a pretty safe bet.

I don’t think anyone is treating him like a superstar, it’s just been a long damn time since the Knicks have had anything at the 1.

Where does Brunson rank among pgs.

According FiveThirtyEight, he is a top 10 point guard in the league this season.

He's not a backup quality PG no matter how much you try to say he is, I had no change of heart with him, I've liked him for awhile and was in previous threads about him defending how good he is. I admit I don't like how we had to get him, we should have kept space open last summer which would have allowed us to keep the lottery pick, but that's behind us now and I'm happy we finally have a starting PG.

De'Aron Fox has been in the lottery his entire career, us not making it to the playoffs wouldn't be an indictment of Brunson, it's simply understanding we need more than what we have. You'll change your mind about him, he's efficient and hits people with hesi's nonstop, you being HEZI it'll be impossible for you to turn away.

I haven't logged into this hell hole in many months - and I see nothing has changed. Most of you are so absolutely miserable that in all sincerity you should just go root for another team. Heizi, Poochio, et al - are some of the most pathetic "fans" I've ever had the misery and misfortune of sharing a fandom with. Time for another many months break cuz this is nasty work in here.

As a starter for 17 games without Luka ..he dropped 20/7 and was a beast in the playoffs. I won't say he's the savior but...he looks like the best PG we have had in forever. His contract is value for an avg starting PG. He just has to prove it.

[TerrenceClarke]

Ight Team Brunson. Imma leave ya man alone...

I had to drink enough to block the disappointment of being a knick fan my whole life.

[3toheadmelo]

team randle is estatic he has a point guard to run pick and rolls and feed him easy looks

team fourni3r is on edge hoping he is not included in a sign and trade

Finally for the first time in 3 years he has a real PG. I’m thinking 2nd all-star appearance. Thank you leon

You guys think the "star" Randle will check his ego at the door and hand the keys to Brunson.

You're going to be in for a rude awakening.

Hope you like Iso Randle chucking more contested bricks

randle can iso all he wants. as long as he's here, we are happy while you are miserable. team randle winning!

Wanted it to be descending until I saw a PO in year 4. The last year, which is the cheapest, shouldn’t be a PO. Meh. Oh well.

Look at Brunson's stats when Luka was out this season, you'll feel much better, especially that +/-

I don’t think anyone is treating him like a superstar, it’s just been a long damn time since the Knicks have had anything at the 1.

He’s come off the bench form more than half of his career games played in 4 years while averaging 16 ppg and 4.8 assists per game in a contract year those are his career best numbers at the age of 25. Those are average numbers for a guy who also happens to be an atrocious defender as a little guard.

I get why we are hype, the thirst is real I get it. I just remember the same reaction when the Fournier signing happened. Folks were so happy to see Bullock gone they thought Fournier was going to be this huge game changer and that turned out to be a complete dud. I’m going to hold off on the Brunson excitement until he actually proves something after this contract.
