Rumors and Discussion Thread (NYK and NBA) IV

Starting to warm up to the idea of Frank/Quickly/RJ at the 1-3, with DSJr and Powell coming off the bench.

And not opposed to Quickly and Powell seeing a decent amount of minutes with RJ. Decision making at 3 positions can be shared, at least two of them can shoot now, maybe RJ takes a step with his jumper.

well he's going to be an issue then if he's not getting the shots he thinks he deserves.

this team might just have him come off the bench because he's a space clogger and doesn't pass the ball.

randle came here to be the #1, but that was the previous regime's promise.

They're close to that cap and have Kira to sign as well. Why not make room by trading Lonzo to us?

You forgot

4) don’t do nothing stupid because you’re desperate for a point guard

We still good with that one

That’s not on the to do list..that just happened because #1-3 all failed

They’re all contingent on each other,

we’re gonna get a point guard one way or another but we ain’t championship contenders next year so I’d rather they didn’t blow their load on the first day of free agency just to make a headline...

We’ve seen that movie countless times

NYKat · Post #1191 » by **NYKat** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:00 pm

I say trade for Lonzo or Rozier at this point...

Or Jeff Teague and Rondo are options

Doesn’t Randle for Rozier still make sense?

MaseInYourFace · Post #1195 » by **MaseInYourFace** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 8:02 pm

So worst case we keep Randle a bit and try again around trade deadline. Y’all need to relax man.

Not sure throwing a big bag of money at Serbian Tim Hardaway Jr is the best idea

it's definitely a concern. you can make the argument that if this was the plan, they should've gone PG in the draft b/c the 2021 draft is loaded w/ wings/forwards but not PG's

1) Quickley has PG skills. He WAS a PG until he ended up on a PG loaded team so he sacrificed his position to help the team and to get minutes. He STILL won honors doing so.

2) FA started less than 24 hours ago.

3) see 2

10 days until camp. Who knows what they do at PG? Calling strikeouts after one pitch is funny. This board has been dead for 10 months. 20 hours into FA and we haven't done enough. LOL

from the Kentucky games I watched, I didn't think Quickley was a true-PG: handle is solid/not great tho, I didn't see a great/accurate passer (maybe he gets better when focused more on-ball), and he didn't finish well in the paint. he is however a very good defender and a great shooter. Hagans clearly was the true-PG of the bunch. Quickley and Maxey are more combo's

I think he's the type of PG that complements another primary ball-handler, but not someone you want pounding the rock 75% of the time

What FA's PG's are available? after FVV the drop-off was big. Teague is probably the best available now. not advocating they should've signed FVV (I didn't want to, I'm more team tank), but PG is still a concern
