People clown Temple - but times like this (trades) is where having a vet like him getting the new guys up to speed will be nice to have

That's what assistant coaches should be for. We got like 15 of them, wtf are they doing? Lol

Don't gotta waste a roster spot on a dude who doesn't play ever when we can give looks to guys like Porter, JFL, etc.

There’s a reason teams have vets. Teammates have different relationships than coaches do with the players. It’s one thing for Darko to say something, but if a 17 year vet who goes through practice everyday and does everything with you says something, it might stick a bit.

It was either Temple or some other undrafted FA. It really isn’t significant from a talent standpoint

[Hero]

Just win and move on from what happened vs the Pistons.

Temples great if we have a good team but this team needs to take chances on as many undrafted guys and start hitting somewhat like they did in the past.

Also we already had Thad and Porter on this team lol.

Undrafted FAs historically have a very small hit rate - with every team now having 3 two-way deals the hit rate for guys available drops even more (as the alternative to Temple is about 90 players shallower than it would’ve been pre-two way).

The whole idea behind the 2-ways was a way to get teams more spots for projects while being able to still have vets. It’s why every bad team has vets still.

Detroit has Bogdan, Burks, Harris
Wiz have Gallinari
Raps have Temple and Thad
Charlotte has Ish Smith
Orlando got Ingles
Rockets have Boban and Green

The only teams who really didn’t were Spurs and Blazers who probably actively didn’t grab them as they wanna suck

[Vampirate]

If we don't trade Siakam ASAP I really think this team is gonna start winning games and screw us out of our pick and a true tank. We added more depth where we needed it. I still think Masai is lowkey tryna win.

Make no mistake, we got worse by taking on RJ Barrett, he's been a negative player outside of 1 year.

He's the new Raptor fans whipping boy in which fans will hate.

IQ needs to take a jump 'this year' as a starter for us to start winning.

[Mister Ze]

I think IQ comes off the bench for his first game

going from thibodo offense where brunson and randle have the ball 90% of the time to the raptors will help rj develop consistency

[knickerbocker2k2]

Watching this Knicks game and what I realized was how much I miss defense that is half competent. In the last few years I think I am traumatized by all the open 3s we have allowed.

Hilarious how you named all those guys and didn't realize they all practically play for their teams except our vets and Boban lol.

IQ should start every game. We just lost to Detroit. IQ and RJ should both be starting plain and simple. If Schroeder and Trent have an issue with that they should have played better.

[720]

Scottie and IQ masterclass with a loss lets goooo!!

[TorontoBarneys]

LMAO Precious is already hated by the entire Knicks board judging by the GT

maybe IQ would just get exposed as a starter. anything this FO touches turns into **** recently.

[hyper316]

Donovan Mitchell going off for 50 seeing no OG guarding him

[bboyskinnylegs]

Donovan Mitchell going off for 50 seeing no OG guarding him

probably joins OG in NY soon enough

[kalel123]

Hoping to see RJ Barrett and Quickley in starting lineup ASAP.

Pretty impressive that Randle/Brunson have the ball 90% of the time, yet RJ found a way to average 27% usage the last 3 years. Weird right?

[hyper316]

Scottie and IQ masterclass with a loss lets goooo!!

Win or loss, I think Masai is going to trade Siakam.

Seeing Masai finally finished evaluating, I'm cheering for the raptors to win now, not to make the play-in, but for some good momentum for new Scottie-Quickley era

[hyper316]

Donovan Mitchell going off for 50 seeing no OG guarding him

That would be a great fit honestly.

Not sure if Knicks have cap space to sign Donovan in FA, because there is nothing much Cavs would want in a trade with knicks

it's hyperbole but not that far off
