Can anybody tell me who caught that alley oop from Kolek ?
I will only cherish the wins and ignore everything else, because that's the only way to survive as a Knicks fan.

Happy about Kolek. He really rounds out our backcourt perfectly

Just need some Center depth now and we're the deepest team in the league


Kolek was awesome, but of course it this is summer league and it was just 1 game... even if he shows out like a next Steve Nash in reg season, unless Deuce gets dealt, remains to be seen if he can steal some of playing time from Deuce under Thibs' consideration because Deuce is ALREADY a lockdown defender, who's not a stiff offensively... ability to not only knock down open shots but to create, be a threat on fastbreak, and also dribble, break down defenses, and finish around the rim.

Only clear advantage Kolek has over Deuce is passing... that's it. Deuce has everything else on Kolek.


THe other advantage is that off the bench we need what Kolek has much more than we need what Deuce has. And if Deuce helps us fill another need - Another Center - he could be a goner.

Kolek is what the Knicks need more than anything. We need to rest Brunson more and, as much as I love Deuce, he can not run an offense. When Kolek starts playing in a structured offense he is going to look even better. He also has that chip on his shoulder that makes me think NYC is for him.

Nice assessment. But I got a question, who caught that alley oop pass from Tyler Kolek yesterday ?

One one hand, Utah may now want Kolek, perhaps even in addition to Deuce "yesterdays price is not todays price"
OTOH, Knicks may not want to part with a known quantity (Deuce) for a promising one.

There's zero chance Kolek will be going anywhere anytime soon. He answers a big need we had even more than Deuce does. If anything, Deuce is a trading chip. Kolek is a Knicks for the forseeable future.

If Ainge says "No Kolek, no center" then that's part of the price.

Kolek is solid and a much more creative/slick passer than i thought.

I thought Pacome was very aggressive. He is a true 6’9 wing, great pick

This is a trade not a one way heist. I sure Ainge wants a lot of things , he probably wants Brunson too. But he is only getting what the market dictates.

Tyler and Jalen in practice would be fun to watch.
