500k should come in handy for Mcbride if Knicks win it all in NBA cup.


I started to feel bad for Deuce and then I remembered that 17+ million is a **** ton of money.


He’ll be fine. With the way NBA contracts have been going lately a great role player like Deuce is gonna make 100 million easily.

This is why they went all in to assemble the roster at this time. Or at least pretty much in terms of trading the picks.

We had a limited window to assemble the roster and fit everything in cap wise. The way they fit everything in is pretty incredible. No regrets at all to watch this beautiful display of basketball

I think the Deuce and Cam combo needs a nickname. They've been overwhelming opposing benches since before Deuce sat a few games. They're kinda the whole bench, but that also means it's just two PG's outperforming other teams' entire second units...Sims at least helps defensively.


Coming out flat on the last game of a road trip isn’t the end of the world but having it happen in both Salt Lake and Dallas should have lit a fire under their butts. Most of the games they’ve lost have been blow outs. With Boston, the Cavs, Magic, and the bucks surging and this team needs to keep pace. Our next 3 games are against the hornets, pistons, and raptors with things clicking it’s time to start banking a bunch of wins.

We are 8-2 in the last 10 games so I’d say we have also been getting the job done for the most part. Boston and Orlando are also 8-2 in the last 10, Cleveland 7-3, Milwaukee really coming on strong at 9-1. Not too bad though for a team with major new parts that is still figuring things out

Do you mean we can win 23 more points to help Celtics advance?

Why should we?

The Knicks FO is now very smart. They KNEW exactly how many points Boston needed us to score, so Thibs inserted the bench in a big FU to Boston. LOL

If we beat them that badly we’d have been the top seed and had to play the wild card Boston team, can’t say that sounds super enticing. I’d rather try that Atlanta revenge game and take my chances against the bucks or magic in the cup ECF

Plus Orlando was scratching and crawling like a rabid dog in the 4th quarter to not get eliminated

500k before taxes is life changing money. The fringe guys on the roster will definitely benefit

Hopefully huge blow outs so the guys can rest.

Right, and this is nowhere near the apex of what this team will look like especially once Mitch and Precious return.

Josh Hart stats so far - 13.7 PPG 8.6 RPG 5.7 APG 59.3 FG% 37.7 3P% 86.4 FT% 69.1 TS% :o

Deuce McBride stats so far - 11.3 PPG 2.7 RPG 2.6 APG 46.4 FG% 43.2 3P% 88.9 FT% 61.2 TS%

These are supposed to be our 5th and 6th best players... Build Leon Rose a statue expeditiously lmao.

And now that that player's gone the Knicks are putting up historic numbers on offense.. almost like people were right and those people that were defending the former player didn't know what they were talking about.


It’s mainly because we are playing towns at the 5 who is a historically great big man shooter instead of having to play Mitch or another rim protector who doesn’t look to score at all. People were concerned about defense but I’d say we look fine on that end as well! This is what modern basketball is supposed to look like with everybody capable of making a 3



Yet we can mix in the better rim protectors when necessary too when Mitch/Precious come back.

Precious can play 4 or 5 as well.
