Is either Gibson or Randle a full time 5?

Morris can play, but I remain confused by Knicks planning.

a foward defensive team.

Knicks missed out on KD and Kyrie, so they decided to stack their team with power forwards. It makes sense somehow.

The funniest thing is that Skip actually believes that this is Klutch getting back at him, for talking bad about Lebron lmao.

Next year’s FA is so weak. This is a smart move financially for Morris. Andre Drummond is the top FA next offseason if he opts out. That should tell you this is a good move.

Not convinced they'll have much luck stopping even middle of the road small forwards, but they do have some toughness in the middle at least.

But were I them, I'd be picking my plan and building around that. In that sense I understand Morris better than Randle. Robinson seems like the most important player on the roster, along with Barrett. So getting players that slot between those two should be priority imho.

Gibson is good as a backup/vet/mentor I guess. I can even live with Portis, although it was an overpay. Randle is the most talented, but the poorest fit, will want the most minutes...

Don't get it.

On the one hand, KLUTCH pulled a good move and got their client more money. On the other, you might see teams reluctant to deal with them in the future...might not matter, as teams will still want their players.

Taking back Derozan, Jakob, and ONE late 1st for Kawhi was a joke on RC and Pop's front

People follow such a herd mentality sometimes. Knicks actually assembled an okay team. Wont be great but much better than some of the east bottom dwellers.

Robinson/Taj
Randle/Portis
Morris/Knox
Barrett/ellington/trier
Elfrid/DSJ

I wont be shocked if this team fights for the 8th seed I'm the east.
