Knicks point guard options in offseason

[Fat Kat]

Seems pretty clear that he didn’t think that Lonzo was good enough to man the position. And you know how tight Thibs is with the Van Gundy family.

Lonzo improved his standstill shooting but he can't shoot off the dribble or run a high PnR. He's anus at finishing around the basket and in general doesn't have the burst or skill to get around NBA defenders 1v1. It's fast break or he's a stand still shooter in half court, which isn't a bad person to have on your roster but not for $24 million. Plus injured a bunch.

Lonzo is another 3D player. He's definitely not a point guard.

I’ve been trying to tell them, but they won’t listen

Lonzo would provide us with a similar skill set to RJ (with better open court passing) for 2-3 times the cost.

Definite hard pass.

Then again even if he's just a better Frank it still improves the team. Bottom line is the most valuable franchise in sports shouldn't be operating at the cap floor (unless it's strategic), so if they want to sign Ball, while I wouldn't be thrilled, I wouldn't hate it.

Filling the roster with bang average players makes us worse.

The Knicks need to prioritize quality over quantity in the immediate future, and fill out the roster later.

What do you expect, they're all horrible people.

These people are doomed, DOOMED!

Just sign Frank for 3/$12 million vs. Lonzo for 4/$26 million at that point. Again this team isn't winning anything any time soon. But the FO likely doesn't think that way, they'll eat the CAA peyote and think we're close to a 2 seed when we're more like a 8th seed.

I have no doubt in my mind that Markelle Fultz will one day be a Knick... And we will sign him to some sort of multi year deal.

Pry Brogdon from the Pacers.

He's hurt every 5 days. None of these twats changes ****. Just start IQ.

He played 56 out of 72 games in a COVID season where everyone was hurt. Plus, he'll have Rose backing him up at PG.

Forget about Thibs starting IQ. That'll never happen.

Man it seems like it’s become a forgone conclusion on here Rose will be back but I doubt if a big minute PG is signed he walks. He was literally the second best player when he was traded and the best in the playoffs. You think he wants to play 15-20 minutes a game

He wants/needs to play no more than 25 mpg. He'll need to be managed. No other team will be looking to sign DRose to start and play 32-5 mpg. He'd never last a full season.

Hopefully he gets signed back as the backup. We all wanted him to return after his performance this season. But he would be in a body bag if he is billed as a starter considering that Thibs gives starters huge minutes

What are you guys hearing on the Kendrick Nunn front? An Payton/Reggie Bullock replacement?

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks are keeping a close eye on Nunn ahead of free agency. The second-year player enjoyed a breakout rookie campaign last season as he played a key part in Miami’s run to the finals, averaging 15.3 points and 3.3 assists per night. In 2020/21, his numbers took a slight dip, but Nunn still put up 14.6 points while improving his clip from downtown to 38%.

He got one thing right, he's not playin' no more. He got injured and they missed the playoffs despite the NBA trying everything to get ZIon in.

[nykballa2k4]

UNDER NO circumstances can Randle be our best player heading into next season

What is it that you guys can’t comprehend about this???!!

Why? How many players are realistically better than he is and available?
We are better served to build like the early 00's Pistons and then when a lead dog becomes available, that piece takes us over the top.

My preference would be to trade for Kemba and obtain an asset for taking on his contract.

LONZO BALL FOLKS!!!!!!

I’m intrigued. He comes from the Miami system, which I think fits our culture. He doesn’t seem like he’ll get as inflated a contract as Schroeder or Lonzo.

[KnicksGadfly]

By the way, who is the pg you guys DON’T want?

For me, it’s Shroeder.

He'd have trouble being a full-time starter on any team. He's a great 6th man tho.
