Time will tell. I'm desperate to see OG play and let Knicks fans see what he can do. He's not too old to pull a Randle and level up.

I think we are worse short term, but this move allows us to possibly build a contender....maybe ....


With what?


Yeah that's where the maybe comes in..... I'm hearing that they could let OG go to free up the cap space and sign someone else....

You don’t trade IQ, RJ, and the 31 pick for a rental of a guy. He’s most certainly part of the future

I think OG is a chameleon on Defence. He can complement any 4 man group, that might struggle defensively.

That's why I really liked the pairing.

If it happens cool. But I'm not expecting OG to suddenly be able to create his own shot. All we should be banking on is elite POA defense, knocking down open 3s, and cutting to the rim.

We could pick Lavine up on the cheap, then when an MVP caliber dude becomes available offer 4 unprotected FRPs, any protected picks we have left, and one of Brunson / Lavine / Randle. With OG, Grimes, Robinson, Hartenstein, Hart, and McBride around that big 3.

Hopefully we can get away with closer to 30

OG's stout/man to man is quite something considering his size but I wouldnt play him 40 mins due to probability of injury

12-15 ppg with rousing defense is much better in my book than 30 ppg with no effort on d

Lavine wont be cheap..because you have to match that bloated contract. Murray is the ideal fit for Brunson and hopefully what we are able to give up for him.

I don't expect the team to click right away but, it should be interesting to watch the new lineup/rotation. I would expect OG eases into his minutes here. Hart can help ease him in and we have plenty of guards to fill in the minutes IQ just lost. It's all about what combos work best moving forward. That will take a little time sorting out. Does Precious get any burn?

Brunson/Grimes/OG/Randle/iHart
Deuce/DDV/Hart/Precious(?)/Taj

It's so difficult figuring out what Thibs will do because he loves his 9 man rotations. Just complete nonsense.

Don't expect the ball to suddenly start moving or Grimes to unlock now that RJ is gone

I'd like to see McBride get at least 20 minutes a game. The guy has shown he can impact games.
