I’m surprised we aren’t going after Bojan more. He can score for real

Yeah, probably should have just gave picks instead. Looking at the offer the cRaptors got for Siakam, I'd say they are wanting to go full rebuild.

We are 100% looking for a player like IQ now.

I'm wondering if the Knicks were just trying to save picks here, or if the cRaptors really wanted IQ. I'm guessing the former. I still think the Knicks are stalling and trying to wait for another Donovan Mitchell situation. And offer all their picks for whoever that superstar is.

Serious question, is Jalen Brunson the most creative iso-scorer in the league today?

Offer more picks. How many are we going to give up to replace IQ?

Hawksqawk insider guy with new info.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler:
The person that has shifted into a main focal point of a potential knicks deal is a center. The last package they discussed with Knicks had grimes + Mitchell robinson + one pick + Fournier (filler) for DJM and Clint

I’d rather keep Mitch out of the deal if we could.

It is interesting that you say this because last night I was thinking "Brunson is a top 5 scoring PG". I am not talking about guys like Harden, LeBron, or Luka who are also SG/SF, I am talking about PG who are strictly PG. Brunson is probably the most complete PG scorer behind Curry and Dame.

Dame
Curry
Ja Morant
Brunson
???


When when we first signed Brunson, the first stat I noticed was that he was a +50% shooter. Last time I checked, PGs who shot above 50% were special. I predicted that he could be an allstar within 2 years of being on the Knicks (go look back on my posts). After watching him now, I realized that he is probably the craftiest scorer in the league.

I saw that posted earlier on twitter. They really just pull random rumors from twitter and try to claim them as sources.

they won't do that. earlier in the year the word was mitch himself was worth 2 1sts. that's selling really low on both grimes and mitch. it's bad enough they're gonna sell low on grimes. plus capela has fallen off some, which is part of atl's problem this year, and re-signing ihart isn't guaranteed this summer.
