Spoiler:
I know my Lamelo takes will haunt me forever :lol:

I’ll admit wiseman has been a bit underwhelming this year. He seems more of a project than I expected. Won’t be until like his 3rd year or so we’ll see if he’s good or not

Not a fan personally but progress isn't always linear so you never know. Seems like a really good kid, I root for him.

Ok before I step away from refreshing the page for moar negativity...

Fun fact: Jalen Brunson's dad used to ride the subway home after games when he was 12th man. I ran into him on the F train directly after a home game, and literally nobody knew who he was.

Ok, now I'm gonna honor my mental health by stepping away from this cursed franchise for hopefully 22 hours.

They say Thibs makes no adjustments and that Quickley simply helps by being out there, but it sure didn’t seem like it.

Rose was 1-10, Quickley was 2-9, that's not going to get it done.

It's a good question.

Probably the most important one.

I see 5 scenarios to be honest:

1. Knicks make the playoffs, Clippers are a mess, and Kawhi signs this summer
2. Zion signs as a free agent in 2025 or 2026 via player option
3. Knicks miss the playoffs, finally get some lottery luck and draft Cade or Suggs (or whomever)
4. Knicks package their assets and trade for Lavine, and he reaches yet another level
5. Knicks trade Randle to the Warriors or Timberwolves for a top 4 pick.

I don't know if there's any other avenue tbh.

Option 6:

CAA's finest come available this summer and Leon desperately tries to pawn them off to the media as legit #1 superstars.

The Randle-Towns frontcourt will rival Melo-Amar'e for most terrible fit fake-superstar frontcourt in Knicks history.

Nope. The Timberwolves wouldn’t want RJ. We already know what they think of him

1. Lol
2. Yeah I’m sure Zion is watching this and thinking damn I wish I could lead the league in minutes and have a career ending injury
3. Lol
4. The bulls are making win now moves, they just traded 2 firsts for Vucevic, they aren’t trading lavine for picks
5. Whoever they take top 4 Thibs will just DNP them or play them 10 mins a game and our scouts suck

Thibs isn’t here to develop. if we win the lottery they’ll probably try to package that lotto pick with other picks to trade for an established star. Idk who though.

My angry takes:

1) RJ and Randle gotta chill with all of these contested shots. They seem to enjoy pain and destroying their FG% at the same time.
2) Thibs needs to reintroduce P&R and P&P, especially with Obi as the roll man
3) Thibs needs to pull the plug on starters if they suck
4) Turning point of the game was when we only scored 2 points after the Thibs TO in the 2nd quarter
5) This was a game we should have won....
6) Mavs don't deserve any credit
7) Players & Thibs aren't grilled enough by the beat for sucking tonight.

We don't have the assets to get Karl Towns, and he has 3 years left on his contract. It's a pipe dream to even bring his name up.

if we landed a top 4 pick, I highly doubt they'd trade it

1) the top of this draft is considered one of the best in recent years
2) Knicks have shown restraint thus far
3) who's even available?
