Knicks should target Diangelo Russel and Tobias Harris with their cap space. It’ll be a positive step towards making the playoffs again.

Kadeem definitely showed promise. How can free agents not want to come to this team? Our development team is top notch.

I remember when they were saying we stole the lakers top development guy and a few other legit development guys.

i wish he wasn't already getting close to the upper 20s.

he's the perfect PG if you have a bunch of stars, because he plays right and doesn't need the ball. and he puts defense first.

if not, he's good as one of the first guys off the bench if the starting lineup isn't playing up to par. he'll come in with toughness and as a spark plug.

he had a couple of lapses in judgement with his shot selection, but overall, he was fine.

mitch was, by far, the best player on the knicks this year. second was dotson once he started getting consistent minutes. third was vonleh and kadeem, but they played at separate moments of the season, unfortunately.

jordan and dsjr were honorable mentions.

But but Marks worked with the Spurs so anything he does is brilliant. I remember them making them trades for large contracts just to compete. They the old us.

Culcha.

It very obvious that they feed stories to Woj to get favorable coverage.

Kadeem Allen is a good 3rd string guard for a contender. Not really a pass first guy but he takes pride in picking up pg's 94 feet and ha some shot-making ability. A guy like that is always useful for when your pg is out for a few games and as a practice guy to give effort against the starters

Rich Kleiman deleted his tweet. Said something like “Keep up if you can” & people figured he was throwing subs at the Nets organization after the trade.

Guys .....since this Leonard stuff is picking up a bit .

Leonard did specifically say he wanted to go to the best TEAM. Let's say Leonard believes we will get both KD and AD. He could think we would be the best team out there.

He also isnt the type to want to get all the glory or necessarily be the alpha. While Kyrie may be another story in this regard.

I actually think they could fit really well together. But my question is the above article in realgm says KD and Kawhi play the same position. Is that true? Can Kawhi especially in Fiz positionless system play both SG and SF while KD plays some SF and PF? And then AD play mostly PF with a little C depending on matchups?

He will want the best team but it would also need to be a good fit.

I rather a guard/forward combo. We have Mitch down low. The same position stuff is iffy to me. I guess KD/KL would figure it out though.

They got the pick that turned into Allen for taking the Nicholson salary dump.

They dumped Nicholson when they acquired Crabbe

Still a mistake on their part for taking him on at all. They would only have to dump the 6 mil from Nicholson which should have cost less, even with Prince coming back.

Though it could compete for the best big 3 in history, I’m not sure Perry would even go after AD if we got both KD & Kawhi. Our other pieces fit perfectly.
DSJr - RJ - Kawhi - KD - Mitch

Hell of a line up, with Knox, Trier & Kadeem off the bench with the room exception still there.

Let’s get some photoshops pumping. Throw KD on Ironman’s body & Kawhi on Captain America. Go crazy. RJ as Spider-Man. Let’s get it :D

In between those moves, he had the chance to play up to his contract, but didn't. He's an athletic shooter. Those have value. Didn't work out, they move on.

Apparently players would sign with the nets because of the nets ownerships relationship with Asia..yes that is what Jay Williams and RJ just said as to why the nets are more attractive than the Knicks.
The other part that’s funny is they said if Kyrie and KD wind up in Brooklyn they already have the talent in place, but of course doesn’t realize that in order to land both they have to renounce their whole roster leaving them with virtually nothing..amazing how these guys are deemed as “experts” without knowing simple facts
