with that bloated contract?


It's smaller than a lot of others. They could get two quality bench pieces. Then the Knicks could start Deuce and Thibs would have all the defense he wants.

Knicks are trying to hide two poor defenders right now in KAT and Brunson. That doesn't work. One has to go.

Anyway, Brunson is a ballhog.

Brunson is just smaller Randle without a personality disorder.


:rofl: At both of you! Trading Brunson?

God we need Mitch back

Achiuwa does everything he can, but clearly Thibs won't play him in certain situations


Rose is probably not blind to this. They are very likely going to make a move for someone who can play major minutes that Thibs would trust.

Kolek and Dadiet and 2- 2nd rd picks for Kessler

Mitch Robinson and HukPorti and 1st RP for Isaiah Stewart

Kessler and Isaiah Stewart both get 20+ minutes on a Thibs team.


I think Stewart plays C exclusively with the Pistons

I'm going through the Pistons' most recent box score. Duren is the starting C, Stewart is the back up, and Paul Reed is the 3rd string C

Stewart's numbers have regressed this season too

If the Knicks had to trade Mitch, I think it will be for a big wing like Rui Hachimura


Last year Stew played mostly PF for the Pistons. So he can definitely play both.

Just a great game between two contenders.


I enjoyed everyone realizing the Knicks are pretenders and not contenders.

Yall remind of the late era Ewing Knicks as the FO traded away all the assets for last playoff runs that were meaningless because our star was no longer elite.

Players are breaking down already. Jalen playing hurt for weeks. Deuce out. OG banged up. KAT gets hurt in the final two minutes down 17 points. How much more evidence do we need before we figure out the problem? None. It has been the same problem since Thibs got here. Every year we limp into the playoffs. Last year we limped into the ASG. King of regular season wins can't run a team more than 7 players deep? FOH!

The FO needs to tell him to play the bench or get to steppin'!!
