I especially loved that clip of him going right. He’s gonna have to really get comfortable doing that to get to another level. The Hawks sat on his and RJs left all series and they couldn’t respond

I think he's really solid. And he's not unathletic. I guess the question is, is there enough athleticism to shine at the NBA level, or will he go the way of Ron Baker/Fields, guys who were well rounded and approached the game correctly, but didn't have enough athleticism, or for Landry, skill, plus his jumper left him. Which might have been injury related, no?
Anyway, I think Grimes will surprise and actually get some minutes, and yes, I'm aware who the coach is.
Guys like Baker and Landry have zero skills and no athleticism. Grimes is a pretty skilled scorer and has plenty of athleticism imo.
Idk what happened to Landry’s jumper tbh but he was fking horrible to watch in his sophomore year
Buzz was reaching there. None of those guys had the offensive ability Grimes displayed in SL. He already likely has the purest jumper on the whole roster and we’ll have to see if the rest of his skills allow him to utilize that smooth shot in the NBA. I’m betting he’ll make it and probably end up being another draft steal for us.

Lmfao yea exactly fields was somewhat talented on his shooting mostly but he was prolly just a hard worker, not much athleticism. Baker was just a hard worker no real talent. Grimes you can already see is oozing with potential if not just for that jump shot alone.

Re: 2021 Knicks Offseason-Training Camp News and Videos
I really feel what we’re getting from randel is what we should have got from melo. A discount. Yes I understand melo was regarded higher at the time. But in general it’s like night a day when it comes to personality randel seems like a human with a big heart and a nice guy. Melo came off as whats in it for me. Idc about what gonna go on the team I want my money.
I was super down on randels performance in the playoffs but I’m happy to have the guy. He doesn’t seem like the type to get paid and then slack. He seems like the guy to get paid then prove everyone why he is worth that much.

i feel like randle's finally hit that point in his career where he's mastered his fundamental strengths enough to quickly add a bunch of new moves to his bag. that's exciting to see since he'll have more space to operate this season

Melo took a discount to resign with us.
New York Knicks president Phil Jackson said that star forward Carmelo Anthony gave the team a hometown discount of about $6 million when re-signing. The Knicks would have given him the absolute maximum of five years and $129 million if he wanted it.
“He did exactly what we kind of asked him to do,’’ Jackson said. “Give us a break in the early part of the contract when we have some wiggle room — hopefully big enough wiggle room — next year when we can exploit it.’’
The deal was still far more than what any other team could have offered him, but it'll give New York a bit more flexibility next summer, which is also when the contracts of Andrea Bargnani and Amar'e Stoudemire will come off the books. That's when the Knicks badly want to make a splash in free agency.

Can he perform In Front of a large crowd of screaming fans on the big stage though. He looked straight shook in the series with fans back… 1st playoffs or not it was ugly.

It certainly looks like he’s working on moves to counter the staggered double team he faced all series long against the Hawks. Not sure if I’m a fan of the 20 footer after 5 head fakes, but I guess that’s the iso move he’s looking to improve. Seems like a better post up game would make more sense since the rest of the starting lineup is so jump shot reliant. Maybe that’s being done off camera.

Or he got game planned for the first time in the playoffs as the 1st option.
Hell, if he does well this year, I’m betting it’s not going to be because he overcame the yips, but probably because he improved and has better teammates.

Every go to option gets game planned for (it was trae young’s first series to) and he had it twice as hard with the way the fans were on his a**.
We gotta call it how it is Julius wet the bed the whole series.
If we get to the playoffs again we will see if randle brings it or if he is the new derozan in the playoffs. He has the talent this time to make it at least to the second round assuming everyone is healthy

Are you really comparing 6 million to 80+ million.
Your boy supposedly just said he didn’t want to come here. Yet he forced our hand mid season.
That’s what 1.5 million a year. He also demanded a no trade clause.
Yea he definitely wasn’t looking out for himself.
Seriously man. Stop. We get it you love melo.
It was a failed experiment no matter how you twist it. Melo never ever held himself accountable. He is now blaming Phil.
He even admitted to never buying in. Which is a key example of not being a leader.
His defense was composed of getting out the way and taking a lazy swipe at the ball. Never took any charges and never moved his feet to get in front. All he did was iso never looked at open lanes to pass or open players. I’m sure you can find a small handful of highlight because he’s only player like 15 year lmao.
Melo is who he will always be a volume shooter who was inefficient. Also a net negative on defense. When teams started to realize and that’s the reason why didn’t sign him.
You talking about a vet minimum player when he was still in his prime.
If he is no great why was this so hard to find a contract at the vet minimum. Just like these past playoffs he straight doo doo
He averaged for a career .483% efg
Vorp -1.05 career
Dbpm -1. Something I can’t remember
All together the man was a negative and I didn’t pick out individual season but as a career.
So yea straight up he’s trash. Don’t talk to me about melo. I’m done with you with the melo talk.
Anyways you spin it I’ll just say he’s a negative player.

Re: 2021 Knicks Offseason-Training Camp News and Videos
Are people really thinking Randle can't play in front of fans? As if the guy hasn't played professional basketball in front of 10s of thousands of fans before or something?
That is some of the stupidest shiat I ever heard,,,,

All he ever talks about is himself. There is a reason why his supposed best friend “ lebron James” hasn’t ever recruited him until now when they needed bodies and the market was super weak.

A bit misleading, as there is overlap between the two players' points and assists.
