Re: Jalen Brunson thread
I was thinking all off season how this guy has been off the radar with all the trade talk. They only brought in two players this off season and we haven't discussed either of them very much at all. The media has ignored them completely. I'm still shocked we have a PG.
RIP mags

His footwork is ridiculous and he picks apart defenders as if the game is moving in slow-motion for him.

Re: Jalen Brunson thread
Older for his contract, limited physically, great shooter, mediocre defender, awesome team spirit guy who won't act like a ho when we're losing.
Probably gives us 8-10 more wins over just playing and developing I.Q. and having Rose get injured as the backup forcing Thibs to play Deuce or some other young tanklord.
So overall no I'm not excited, but it's not Jalen Brunson's fault, he's a good player who should have gone to a good team or stayed in Dallas.

Re: Jalen Brunson thread
The irony of this off-season is everyone was caping for DM when we had already signed a guy who is probably going to execute all of the things DM can do. Brunson is a guy on the rise and I don't think we've seen his best yet.
The other irony is Jalen is going to be the guy who unites us as fans. Yep, I said it, Brunson Kumbayah

He's going to have a breakout season.
Brunson and Grimes are basically the only two things im looking forward to this season

Too bad Fournier will be starting and playing 35 mpg, same as RJ.
Another victory for the mountainous land of Guanorheea.

Not tryna be over dramatic or anything... I honestly think the Jalen Brunson signing will go down as not only the best signing in NYK history, but the greatest signing in NBA history.

The challenge for him is lack of spacing and lack of offensive creativity by the coach. I hope he doesn’t disappoint.

No wonder Ainge traded away the Jazz stars and more. He probably just should have traded Gobert and Mitchel to Dallas for Brunson!

How did you arrive at 6.7 apg?
i calculated it using a formula i created known as RANDLE
Maybe RANDLE was having a bad day when you did the calculations?

Brunson with Rose backing him up off the bench
Knicks PGs are going to have defenders on skates for 48 minutes

If Rose stays healthy then this is the best at guard position Knicks have been since feltdown/kidd/pablo.
