Yeah...hmm...who are the Knicks bidding against again?


I’m not sure what kind of market he will have. Most teams will probably be going after Ayton first, and maybe even look at cheaper options.

If Knicks are blowing all there cap anyway they may just splurge….not that I agree with it but seems like they are going to try to spend as much as they can


I may have missed it, but I've not see any reports/tweets as to teams interested in meeting with Mitch, or him wanting to meet with other teams....it's a done deal he returns to the Knicks I suspect.

There were a million rumors on draft night and the Knicks went a completely different direction than any of them. Rumors surrounding the Knicks are always garbage.


No doubt there’s a lot of false rumors, etc but there were also rumors the Knicks would trade back or out, and plenty of rumors on Brunson.

I am not saying all rumors are right, but you guys are really reaching with the Suns are heavily interested in Randle talk


No one knows if the Suns are interested or not. Just saying it wouldn't be a terrible fit and can be something that can be worked out for both teams benefit.

Who said they’re heavily interested? I just think it’s def possible they would want him since they tried to go after Sabonis, who’s similar to Randle. Randle is cheaper than Ayton as well. You’re the one writing it off 100% lol

Randle + Rose (or Cam Reddish) for Ayton would be a dream... Suns would have to move Crowder to the bench and bring in a big who could defend (like McGee) and then they could finish games with their small ball lineup with Randle at the 5.

Leon in his pitch to Brunson: "You'll be performing in the world's biggest basketball market. You will be our primary ballhandler. But most importantly, we're the only team that grills our PB & J's in olive oil."

Play the young players we drafted and stop signing mediocre role players to contracts.

Sims showed he can come in and give 10-15 minutes of rebounding and some defense. That's good enough for a non-playoff team. He has potential to be a DeAndre Jordan type. He's a physical and athletic specimen. If he just gets any type of skill down he can be a rotation player for years to come.

Also stop loading up on big men.

Unless you trade Randle and start Obi and Hartenstein is backing him up. Then that's OK.

It never made sense. The Heat don't have the cap space and would have a log jam with Lowry already there.

This.. I really don’t understand all the noise about centers right now from us.. that’s like the least valuable position

You leave that PB&J treasure alone. It will become the new staple of fine dining.

If he were actually meeting with the Heat it'd be over. Nobody comes out of a Riley meeting alive that doesn't plan to sign there.
