Hope this is not a precursor to trading Mitch

This signing I like a lot, we need a rim protector on the court at all times, I wouldn’t have minded a 2 year deal with a club option for a third for him, he fits.Perfect backup for Mitch.

Yeah I actually agree. This is a solid all around Knicks off-season. Just wait until the 2021 off-season how bad most of these long-term deals will look. Even Payton, I think Thibodeau could squeeze some juice out of him.

Aside from dreading a Randle-Payton starting line-up, I agree.

Letting clubs lock down their salary structures in a year without too many key free agents is a good sit this one out strategy going into 2021.

Hoping the kids get playing time. That's all I ask. Let these short-term signings not be full time minutes guys

That’s the big if, do those 2 clowns start? If they come off the bench and know their role, OK, but if they start, they’re going to start that hero ball bull, hope Thibs doesn’t put them in that position. Coming off the bench may humble their overinflated image of themselves.

Mitch...Noel
Obi......Randle
RJ.......Knox
Quickly...Burks
Frank...Payton

We need a solid shooting 3/4 forward. I'm afraid Iggy ain't the answer there.

In fairness we haven't done this since the Phil Jackson years.

Does that mean that the Knicks go after DeMarcus Cousins?
