Woj Kemba buying out of okc signing with NYC

[K_ick_God]

It's probably the case that players who are really good will force any coach to play them. I admit I'm not 100% on that but I've seen even stubborn JVG play Camby after he held him back and developed him in practice. Then Camby broke through. Same with RJ. He got a ton of minutes, if he keeps them, it'll be because he's really good.

If Obi keeps defending and finishing at the rim, his minutes will go up to at least 12 mpg lol.

[KnixtapeH20]

No way. He’s gonna go Rose and IQ in the backcourt most likely. Burks will be the 3

Burks will be the 3 and play 10 mpg? He was playing 25 mpg last year.

Likely minutes distribution:

Kemba (28) / Rose (20)
Fournier (33)/ Burks (10) Rose (5)
RJ (38)/ Burks (10)
Randle (39) /Obi (7)/ Taj (2)
Mitch (25) / Noel (17) /Taj (6)

I have a 10 man rotation. Thibodeau’s rotation are normally 8-9 deep. You can probably take out Taj’s 8 minutes and spread it around or give them to Quickley. I also think Rose and Kemba will both play 4-5 minutes on the court together if healthy.

My attempt:

Kemba (28) / Rose (20)
RJ (33)/ Quickley (15)
Fournier (33)/ Burks (15)
Randle (38) /Obi (10)
Mitch (25) / Noel (17)

I do not see Taj getting more than 5 minutes (if that) until Mitch or Noel go down. Until then, mostly towel waving and being the great bench cheerleader and motivator that he is.

I can see RJ at more like 33 than 38 minutes (even less many games because Thibs has shown impatience with him at times - if Quickley has the hot hand, he will ride him in those games).

I do not see Burks getting 25 minutes this year with Fournier in the mix. He got all of those minutes out of necessity given their roster.

I think Thibs will also mix and match depending on flow of the game so even though I have al of RJ's 35 minutes at SG, he could also see some SF time depending on how Fournier and Burks are going.

With all of this, we assume health, and we have two injury prone PG's and two injury prone C's which will force minutes to shift around at times. Quickley will find plenty of time this year as the season goes on, even if his initial minutes are more limited than last year.

I cant be bothered to search for the comments so I'll just quote everyone lol

Anyone that thinks IQ won't be playing SIGNIFICANT minutes, certainly much more than last season is for lack of a better term, out of their **** minds.

Ok I just checked, he played 19.4 minutes last season in 64 games. He may not play more but he will be a key part of the rotation. Kid is way too talented to sit. One if the mosr talented players on the team.

What's the earliest time the Knicks can trade the players they just signed?

Yeah I would expect IQ to be a part of the rotation and at least get the same number of minutes.

Kemba NY baller finally how long has it been since starbury we got a PG with handle and range damm.

Dammit, Jimmit, you're right!

[ScienceOfLosing]

All that crying about the 19th pick

Deservedly so.
If we wanted to save 2 million we could have either shaved a little off the deals we just gave out or just cut Vildoza.

But I don't think it was about saving 2 million. I think it was about assets for a superstar. Not sure if that happens.
You don't do that from this last draft, just too strong.

And unlike when we got Marbury, the Knicks aren't a cesspool of a mess this time around.

[nedleeds]

I mean you can't say they didn't try to develop Knox or Frank, and they're developing Mitch and RJ as starters.

Who knows, Thibs won't let them fail. He wants to beat the Tatum-less Celtics in December so bad his ass hurts. Knox and Frank don't look great but they were shooting 39-40% from 3 on the team the was routinely facing zone defense while the opposing coaches laughed. IQ, Obi got **** for minutes while Randle led the league in minutes and Thibs played the worst point guard in the league starter minutes. I get that what I think should happen won't happen with this fake win coach.

Payton played 18mpg in the second half. Definitely not starters minutes. Starting him was stupid, but he didn't play much at all.

Yeah what about the first half? Minutes are minutes for young players totally irrelevant that he finally was embarrassed into reducing Paytons minutes.

Randle led the league in minutes because he was a legit MVP caliber player last year.

Good lord some of you are drowning in the MSG Kool Aid. He wasn't even a league average efficiency player. He put up counting stats playing berserk minutes on a 7 or 8 seed roster in a normal year. Legit MVP?

Jokic
Embiid
Giannis
Curry
Luka
Lillard
Kawhi
LeGM
AD
Young
Tatum
Mitchell
Booker
Harden
Healthy KD
Healthy Kyrie

are all a wide margin better than Randle. MVP caliber is insane.

[Newyorknick94]

I know were gearing up to trade for a star, but honestly Beal is overrated I’d much rather Dame or keep waiting.

Why didn't he just let Wizards know before the frenzy started. I'm sure it would've been an easier situation than today. This goes for Lillarid too if he asked out now.

BTW, Portland got nothing back and I'm not understanding what Lillard's ultimatum was. Portland was capped out and there wasn't really a way for them to get better without trading McCollum.

[F N 11]

We have so many scorers now, its really not just Randle and hoping RJ has it.

[G_K_F]

Kemba (28) / Rose (20)

Who is losing minutes? Burks?

Knicks re-signed Burks to play him 10 mpg?

There is an odd man out in a Thibs rotation. It's just a matter of if you think it's Burks or IQ.

[Fury]

So Kemba is probably the best PG we've had on the roster when we acquired them since Stephon Marbury. Can he be the first Knicks PG to make the all-star game since Mark Jackson? Probably not, but insane that we've been that bad at the position.

[snadler]

Kemba for 35 minutes a night, Rose for 35 minutes a nights..no bueno..Kemba for 25 minutes and Rose for 23 minutes is spectacular..A+

That's a good point for sure. What I don't see is any minutes for the draftees.

I think Burke’s plays some back up point minutes also Rose/walker probably sit on back to back games and don’t forget were probably dealing with COVID again so who knows whos gonna be out with COVID protocols.

[snadler]

We’ve gone from elfrid Payton to kemba and Rose..finally have point guards
