2k is not ball

This current Knicks team is full of big names but they’re awfully fit together like an Isaiah Thomas built team. Sorry not sorry.

I respectfully disagree with every word you say.

I wouldn’t say the prices don’t fit - I think the roster is missing pieces and there is redundancy with the wings. As a result the sum of the part is greater than the whole.

The team needs a change of pace, instant offense type of combo guard off the bench and a durable rim protector in the starting lineup. Think Malik Monk and Clint Capela.

Brunson/Bridges/Anunoby/Towns/Capela
McBride/Monk/Hart/Robinson

Problem is the Knicks are so over invested in Bridges/Anunoby that they can’t build out the roster. And the redundancy of Bridges/Anunoby makes them less impactful individually.

What's the deal with people misspelling Zeke's name?

I don’t think it will be hard to add to this core in the summer. If Mitch remains healthy, there is one less problem anyway. If you want a microwave scorer, the market isn’t problematic. There will always be another Monta Ellis, DaJuan Wagner, Lonnie Walker, Cole Anthony, Colin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Monte Morris, Malik Beasley, Seth Curry, Bones Hyland off waivers or via trade.

I saw an article the other day on hoopshype or someplace similar that got it wrong.

The problem with Mitch is that he's only a value if he's a starter, between the Cavs, Thunder and Celtics none of them have expensive backup centers. You spend your bench money on guards and wings, not on centers. If Mitch is a starter he's outplaying the value of his deal, if he's a backup then that money could be spent somewhere else.

Will this thread be locked up since Dolan admitted that the Knicks were done with trades for the next few years?

I came here to post the same exact question. Good job.

You could argue that these teams have incredibly long and talented frontlines. Mobley and Allen are off the charts, KP and Horford are intimidating and intelligent, and you really can’t say that anything is wrong with Chet and Hartenstein. I would say that Mitch and Towns at their best could the best duo of that group, but for some strange reason we’ve never seen them together. Hmmmm…

Still plenty of opportunities to trade Brunson in the offseason!

They've played a couple of minutes together here and there, but ultimately for Mitch to outplay his contract, he would need to be a starter. Horford and Kornet together make less than Mitch makes, that is why he needs to outplay his contract.

How about ISO Joe Johnson? He looks like he can still ball.

still room to discuss mid to minor trades around the core.

Teams aren't looking for a selfish me first PG. He has no value.

Maybe couple of 2nd round picks?

Okeke signed by Sixers:

Are we ever going to sign Moses Brown, or TJ Warren? Looked like Marjon Beauchamp was in street clothes tonight, not sure why.

Not that any of them will make a difference, or even play. Why am I bothering.

MarJon might be a move for the future.

The fact neither Moses or Warren has joined the team when PJ is hear sitting on the bench like his name is Fournier says a lot the FO is either being shortsighted or the FO and Thibs are not being on the same page…. Again.
