So

Karl/Mitch/Huk
OG/Yabu
Mikal/Josh/Dadiet
Deuce/Clarkson/Shamet
Brunson/Brogdon/Kolek

We need to trade or sign another 4 or big wing. Any ideas?

This is a loaded roster. Very pleased with how the front office tackled this offseason

Kolek seems to be the odd man out? Seems redundant now with the backcourt being loaded to the brim.

I guess Josh will be the 3rd string PF if for some reason OG or Yabu can't play since we don't have any space to add a 15th player.

Can someone remind me why we are capped at the 2nd apron? Was it for using the MLE on Yabu?

I know it's preferrable to stay below it regardless for obvious reasons. but are we hard capped at it?

Excellent signing. Let's see if the Knicks can keep him healthy.

Lots of upside when he's right. He's a winner, knows how to play off ball, knows how to contribute next to stars, but has some juice offensively, can play defense. Historically has been efficient...could take threes and hit them.

I doubt they will be starting deuce and I think he actually might be the one they trade since we just signed a bunch of guards

Any chance they jettison Huk, Dadier or Kolek to keep both Shamet & Brogdon?

Brogdon's 3pt shooting crashed from around 40% to just 28% last year. But he still played 23 min/game, starting half of them. He's 6'4" with a 6'11" wingspan. Any chance if he has anything left he starts opposite JB? Lots of vets on youtube last year said that's just what the Knicks needed, someone to handle the ball (and shoot 3's) to better free up JB.

I'm not letting Huk or Dadiet go since they fill needs at C and wing

Not Huk. He's almost guaranteed to play minutes. We're way to thin up front.

That would suck, I love Deuce.

His salary slot is kind of small so I'm curious who he could be traded for

Think that's more of a syndrome of a tanking culture with a badly constructed team.

Kessler?

Deuce and Kolek for Kessler is not bad… Kessler is owed 4.8 million this upcoming year and only 7 million in 2026/27.

Looking ahead, that’s a move I would most definitely want to make.

Deuce's contract is too small to net anything other than cap relief. And honestly, can't imagine trading Deuce just to keep a 3rd/4th stingers.

How bigger is kolek’s contract then?

We’re certainly going to play double big with Kat at the 4 too.
