That's some seriously high praise. The guy knows how to facilitate out of the high post, I mean outside of Joker he might be the best passing center in the league.


There's a big difference between a lateral hand-off to KAT at the top of the key and delivering the ball in the high post to iHart who expanded our distribution options and made Brunson somewhat less ball dominant.


Kat is as good of a passer as iHart is/was, but KAT is also a scorer, so he has more decisions to make. The iHart frustration was he would be wide open from like 18 feet, no defender near him and he looked like the was stranded on an island, just had to hope he remembered he can use his tear drop.

Nice to see him put up points on a depleted team with nothing at stake. Mardy Collins 2.0

It sucks because that aspect of his game was a real weapon last year.

Grimes is decent. I wish the Knicks still had him for the bench.
Ok players putting up stats while having a big green light for bad teams has been a thing in the NBA for a long time. We should be pretty familiar with this as Knick fans.

If he can sustain this a bit longer he may get a nice contract in the offseason somewhere. Could see some team offering around 10mill. annually.

He got traded because he was going to make more than Martin. He keeps his ppg over 16 with efficiency he is looking at starter salary. 20M (3/60) is on the table.

Vogel and Bud have won championships in the last 5 years. It's insane to me how two coaches who have won so recently can be let go so easily by the same organization. It's not like the game has passed both of them by.

I mean, are Vogel and Bud worse coaches than Thibs?!

They should hire Nash.

Kevin Durant has gotten Kenny Atkinson, Steve Nash, Monty Williams, Frank Vogel, and now apparently Coach Bud fired. Consecutively.

So I guess if you want Thibs fired, pray that Leon trades for Kevin Durant

Matt Ishbia is making his case for worst team owner. Trying to appease Booker and KD is laughable, trade them both while you can still get something for them.
