RJ's going to get better at the first 3, at the minimum, having Brunson around to observe and also be taught by. Might take a couple of years, but he'll elevate RJ's individual game.

In the meantime, Brunson actually being a quality player at PG will elevate the play of RJ and Randle, or at least make them more efficient by getting them better looks.

i still can't wrap my mind around the knicks punting the draft for absolutely no reason at all.

this is one of the first time i'm like not interested in this team, they're gonna suck ... there's like 8-9 teams way better than them in the east.

they still have bum ass randle that'll still walk the ball up the court and take 16 seconds doing it.
they still have thibs who will not play anyone

derrick rose gonna get more playing time than quickly and grimes.

We're already cooked-- this guy has no hook shot, no up and under, no drop step, even playing against these guys he's taking tough fade aways. I know this is just a pick up game but if he goes into the season like this we're doomed.

That's a rational standard. If they are fun to watch again that would mean they are playing well enough to compete. Why are you mocking them for saying that?

The syntax doesn't change what you implied or what I asked. It was mocking a perfectly rational thing to say. I certainly want to have fun watching my team play even if they are not contending

it's embarrassing the knicks can make the game of basketball which is a genuinely fun sport boring. so for our standards to be just having fun watching it is comical. pretty easy to understand if you don't take everything on the web as an insult.

OK, not trying to stir anything up. It has been so sour in here lately that it seems like a novel concept to have fun watching the Knicks. I'm turning my attention to what is, not what if. And what is seems like it could be pretty entertaining. I think we'll be better than the club from two seasons ago that made the playoffs. I know the East is better now, but we could have a roster that plays as a team and makes some noise. This girl just wants to have fun.

no worries - I have jokes but i'm not malicious here. we all are suffering together and have different opinions on how the knicks can be successful. In the end we all are here because we want to be entertained. hope your optimism is well placed.

It’s the same boring a$$ team except with Brunson instead of burks. Don’t let these off season optimists talk you into anything. They’re always this way until reality hits.
