Thibs, “Fournier is the front runner to start at shooting guard”

[bearadonisdna]

Be like ‘can see’ baby .
‘Can see’ baby like things that are real.
Not imaginary progressions
Or
Theoretical fits.
‘Can see’ baby DOES believe in stats because they are real and easily seen.
‘Can see’ baby doesn’t just go off 1 statement made months ago as their only lifeline to a stance.

Grimes played well for like a month and a half, he's not Klay Thompson all of a sudden. If he's that good he will get minutes.

I'd still take my chances with Grimes over Fournier.

You know you will get a two way player with room to improve vs. a one way player who can't guard anyone.

[Bob Ross]

This isnt a rehab his value move for Fournier. He played pretty well last season and everyone knows who he is.

This is true, but Thibs also said he focuses on how the pieces fit together when putting together lineups.

Is there an argument that can be made that Evan fits with the starters, on both ends, better than Grimes?

I would say Grimes fits better. Not the shooter Fournier is, but no slouch and a MUCH better defender. We saw how 2 poor defenders in the backcourt worked last season

No you don’t know you get a 2-way player.

You might get a no way player who struggles to execute on offense and defense .
Last year -13 as a starter
Which is exponentially worse than our starters who were ‘historically bad ‘

Great news. Fournier earned it

If Grimes is so much better he will eventually overtake Fournier. Its not a life sentence that Fournier will start forever.

The concept of Knicks draft picks actually playing well on the court continues to elude you guys.

The national GUAN currency has skyrocketed within the last 24 hours, market watchers are stunned.

Come on now, I love a good youth movement as much as the next dude, but Grimes aint a starter yet. Unless were tanking, then yes. But i think its pretty clear that the Knicks org wants to win games and like it or not, Evan is the best player we have at the 2.

Man shut the **** up w this clown ish

He’s not Klay (not even close) but I think if you make someone untouchable, he should be starting to at least show why. If he’s not, we should’ve just traded him for Mitchell imo. That’s how I view it

No dude stay your lane
People let you talk your shyt about Thibs while you defend a fringe rotational guy not starting.
Chill tf out

It’s like holding a minor League prospect out of a trade .
Doesn’t mean he ready for big leagues that season .

This ain’t baseball

When’s the last time you seen someone be untouchable in the NBA that wasn’t starting? Name 5 players.

I think he will eventually start if he's good. I just dont see the big deal about it being day 1 or day whatever. Starting is not a badge of honor or something, he'll play guys

[Buttah304]

We need more BS reports from this front office/coach

Thibs likes Grimes more than RJ
Thibs has the realization that he loves Obi
IQ expected to have a larger role early in the season

What else are we missing?

Mitch making 49/50 corner threes
Cam impressing Thibs in camp

It’s still a fair analogy.
Maybe you like the ham sandwich one better ?
Just because they loved ham sandwich during negotiations doesn’t mean need they gonna love it during training camp .

5 players idk , but at least 5 other franchises decided the price with AINGE was too high as well meaning they drew their line in the sand too.

Further explanation…so much for a clean slate

Sounds like he might be leaning toward Hartenstein at the 5

It’s cause he was kinda the reason why we didn’t get Donovan Mitchell. If you’re not willing to trade him for a multi time all star, that means you look at him in a similar fashion, meaning he should be starting just off that.
