Hows Demarr's defense?

Not great, but at the very least you can't target him because he's a big body :lol:

I would sign up for 2 years of Lowry and Derozen added to the Knicks core. Build on last year and hit 2023 free agency fresh.

They are one of a few teams with tons of cap space, plus tons of picks with huge upside and a lot of flexibility, instead of being annoyed by it, embrace it because they can be active on many different fronts

Embrace what? Blatant clickbait and speculation with zero substance? You do you. I'm not buying any of it. This happens every year. No one has a clue what the FO is thinking. No one has any sources. No one knows what's gonna happen on any level. That much has been proven.

The way the league is these days...there is no planning to build a winner unless you have draft capital and youth with potential and...good players on good contracts. We have that but it is all pretty mediocre. We will be sitting on our hands as players all flock together on other teams. We saw it last off season. So...best course of action is to build through the draft...use cap to acquire assets and keep the cap flexible. We try for playoffs with one year scrubs and kill our draft. While we bench the youth and waste time. Only to be shunned because most players don't want to come here. I bet not one of the stars ask to be traded here. No one wants to be the next Melo. They will use us for leverage but...their agents won't let them get traded here.

I hope I'm dead wrong but...this FO will most likely fail like the rest because they want to win now while rebuilding. Because Dolan.

Explain what this front office, not the Mills front office which was the worst in sports history, but this front office has done or not done for you to have such negativity towards them? Right now this current front office signed Burks which was solid, traded for Rose which was great, hired Thibs coach of the year, drafted IQ steal of the draft, and so far undecided on Obi..so other than the usual the knicks will be the knicks sob story, what proof does Rose and crew have that you shouldn’t have faith in?

I spelled it out in my last sentence. I never said shouldn't have faith in. I just don't. They ignored the PG position and brought in Elfrid and Rivers. Took long enough to get one in Rose...who is not a starter either. So... that's my biggest issue to date. They built a treadmill. IQ was a solid pick. Obi? A glass coffin. Remains to be seen. :lol:

You can embrace silly rumors and clickbait. I don't. They still have to prove they are good. So far they proved they aren't the worst. Yay.

Starting backcourt inept at shooting the 3 would be so Knicks. Need a better balance.

Think its short of what I believe they end up with. I think they get one or possibly 2 of: SGA, Sexton, Lillard.

Not a big Derozan fan . He's an upgrade for sure but hoping for better than a Dorozan/Dinwiddie combo.

Current Guesses:
Beal- GS
Westbrook- Lakers
Lillard- Knicks
Lowry- Heat

Is that the primary concern? I thought it was improving the quality of talent on the team.

If we trade RJ for Ingram, we lose 21M in cap space this year in the race for the starting wing and PG. That if Ingram waives his kicker.

Only if we get Sexton withoug get any salary back. Obi + #19 + Knox

Sexton (6.5)/Rose (10)
Lonzo (20)/IQ (2)
Ingram (29,5 Or 34 if he does not waive his kicker)/ Bullock (5,5Hold)
Randle (20)/Rookie 32
Mitch (2)/Rookie 21(2.5)

They aren’t trading RJ for Ingram, if they do trade Rj which isn’t likely it will be used to acquire a guard

RJ is a 3 not a 2

Dinwiddie was looking like ass before he tore his ACL. I don’t think I would pay him

Woj was saying that on Sunday. He said clippers are planning their off-season with Kawhi in mind and it seems like a lock he’s returning to the clippers

The good news about it is that neither one of them shoots 3s so we can officially bring the 70s back.

That's when we won two chips after all.

Dinwiddie and Derozan? On multi year deals?
