Same thing that's happening to Caitlin Clark.

This is a great minimum contract signing. Dude can shoot high volume and can also handle the ball. We needed a creator from the bench. Can’t ask for anything better at the minimum. He also a lot of playoff experience

Minimum please. We also need a coach with balls to rein him in when he gets into chucker mode.

Is he signing for the minimum? That’s a good deal no matter what.

Upgrade over Payne at min cost. Good start to the off season.

Now grab Ayton, and extend Mitch and Mikal please.

Would he be considered more of a back up Point guard or combo guard(like Quickley)…..if/when Cole Anthony gets waived could they work together?

Not bad, replaces some of what we lost with IQ off the bench. Need more wing and frontcourt help next

I like this pickup a lot. Was waiting for something to happen for the Knicks since I'm getting nonstop alerts from Shams on my phone and nothing by the Knicks til now. Solid signing. Curious what his role will be and can we hire a coach please?
Make the Knicks great again!

I get we needed to strengthen the bench but Clarkson is a chuck and duck on steroids. Would have preferred to have a 3&D type.

So does this mean for Kyler and Duece? Guess Wright and Shamet gone?

For the vet min I guess I can't complain too much. We needed another ball handler/scorer but he isn't the greatest decision maker, he has been inefficient for years and he hasn't been a good defender. He is also 33 so he could continue to decline as a small scoring guard. I guess he will be nice to have if we are lacking some scoring punch on the 2nd unit but it feels like Cam Payne part 2 imo. When he is hot you will love him but when he isn't he will drive you crazy.

Hopefully he looks better with a more talented veteran group but I don't have high expectations for him. I don't think you can play he and Brunson together and don't like the idea of potentially having one poor defending guard on the court at all times.
