You realize jericho Sims is 22, Knox is only 21?



I still believe in Knox.


IMO Knox+Mitch for Wiseman would put the full talents of our out-going guys on display. Knox needs a green light to go full Rashard Lewis.

I don't care either way. Anything is better than Payton, but people are shooting their loads like we're getting anything resembling Kemba Walkers prime.

He has chronic arthritis. Not a sore knee. He doesn't "keep getting hurt", he has no cartilage in his left knee.

Deluded sheep in here losing their minds and people from other boards are just laughing at our clowning over a guys swan song for a couple years at home. This is MSG ticket revenue material and nothing more. I feel bad for Kemba because he's a great teammate and a competitor but his knee just betrayed him, 4 surgeries on his left knee years of steroidal injections and now he's been trying stem cells to eek out another couple years.

If he could play he wouldn't be a Knick right now, he'd be on the 76ers or some competitive team. Nice story that he gets to play a few games at home, can't wait for the coming home redux.



Deluded sheep? Relax. Go outside. You’ve been internetting too long.

I'm relaxed. It's the other people who think we're getting All-NBA 3rd team Kemba who are emotional. I feel bad for them.

"WE bAcK!" "rEmEmBEr tWo DaYS aGO!"

It shows how deluded and scarred the fan base is. They can't even look at the guys injury history, it would force them to wake up from the dream.

Totally came out of left field but finally a legit low risk high reward move. I was worried about rose starting after the $ they gave him so this is perfect. We're now deep enough where kemba's usage doesn't have to be crazy high either. Love it.

This tweet is further proof we didn't need to give Noel 10 mil a year, we could've just brought back Taj.

team tank is SEETHING right now :lol:

this is a colossal upgrade from elfrid payton and we have arguably the best backup PG in the NBA with Rose who should have won 6moy. This is the most stacked we've been at PG in the history of the franchise probably

Vildoza and McBride won't get any minutes, except in case of emergency

Even if Rose or Kemba gets injured, we're just gonna shorten the rotation and make Burks the backup PG.


i just want iq to get a lot of minutes. he showed a lot. the advanced stats all say he should have played a lot more last year.

I watched Elfrid Payton play 70 plus games last season. Even if Kemba is 80 percent of what he was, he's a significant upgrade and on such a minimal salary, it's another piece available to throw in a trade if necessary.

Walker was playing 31-32 minutes a night the last two seasons. All we need him to do is play 18-24 minutes a night.

gotta admit i grumbled at the randle move, then was really grumbling after the start to the off-season, but the fournier and kemba moves make it all make sense. VERY interesting team, tempered excitement here, positivity for the first time in a long time.


Healthy... this team is better than the Atlanta team that beat us. Mitch Kemba and Fournier = different series

Kemba has hit some big shots thorough out his career he's perfect for Knicks finally Randle can't be doubled easily.

youth fans should be happy with kemba/rose. competence, talent, experience, and room for miles to get burn due to their durability concerns

He’s not in his prime but he’s still an effective player. He had a decent season last year, especially compared to what we had. It’s a good move.

The diehard tankers will always find something to cry about when they dont get their way. Even if Kemba breaks down we are paying him no money.

This is such a good move and wow does this team have some depth. Also still in great shape to make a big trade during the season if one comes available
