Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe same old Knicks are back folksssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!


they probably getting him for cheap but man I don't see the fit. he's not a wing...he's a guard. He isn't a great shooter. He can score but not efficiently.

This just seems like we are desperate for depth we will take anyone that can put the ball in the basket even if the fit is odd.

I guess Clarkson for vet min and Ayton for vet min (or tax MLE) would be OK… upgrade the top 9.

With that said, I wouldn't mind Westbrook coming off the bench if he's cheap. Probably better than most other vet min guys we can barely afford.

Aller leaked it lol

Yeah, I like hart but he is really just a 20 mpg player, similar to sexton. Sexton gives us much needed shot creation and play making. A plus is that sexton gives max effort as well.

Things leak

Our interest in Diawara leaked and then we drafted him

It doesn't have to be Leon or anyone on the Knicks side that leaks things

Sometimes it's agents or other teams that the Knicks talk to

But would that have been a "cheap" pickup?

Yeah. Hart averaged just 8 PPG against Indiana shooting 18% from 3.

I don't get the westbrook hate. He can still play you just don't want him playing 30 mins or closing games.

He can play 15-20 mins and play solid defense and slash etc. For the min you can do a lot worse.

I do agree playing him with hart is a disaster though. I'm hopeful the next coach recognizes hart is a 20-25 min player or we trade him at some point.

You’re 100% right but I think there’s genuine interest on our half. Russ checks a lot of boxes of stuff we need.

We lost a lot of toughest when Ihart and we traded Randle and Donte. He brings that. We’re in need of another ball handler and it’s a major bonus if they’re big enough to play next Brunson. That can give Jalen some possession off ball. He can do this. Adds another good rebounder that can help push on the break. Also could see us being talked into the idea that he’d be an 8th or 9th man here that there be less chance of him shooting you out of games.

Now this isn’t an endorsement but I think it’s real.



Can’t play him and hart together so…..


This is finally going to be the summer that both of them learn to shoot 3’s :lol: trust me I don’t like it but if our options are Clarkson or Russ, I might lean Russ

But then you have again at least like 10-15minutes where you have to play a super small backcourt.

there are way more guards that can score that come available...losing a wing for a guard is simple something we can't handle right now. Hart for all his faults was nearly in the all-star convo last year. I think overuse he started to fall off a bit but I can't be trading Hart for a guard.

Sexton might be max effort but he's smaller and not a POA defender so he can't play alongside brunson. I don't see the value.
