2021 Knicks Offseason-Training Camp News and Videos

i don't think he's in a walking boot. he was just riding a bike on his instagram stories and the post said he's scrimmaging with the team.
i don't even see what makes you think that.

Dude def looks noticeably bigger in this video. His foot speed defensively made him special. Hope he still has that

Yeah, I don’t think adding weight was his issue. This may be a detriment more than it is a good thing.

[Spree2Houston]

Mitch will probably lose 7-10lbs by end of the preseason. He should be around 270 by opening night

[BBALLER4FR]

Damn Mitch! All arm days huh? 280 eh? RIP Rim Runner.

[BBALLER4FR]

He definitely won't be as quick/nimble on the fastbreak and say goodbye to that smothering D against PG's on the perimeter. He better be a beast on the low post...otherwise he's a paperweight.

[FreeSpiritNY]

Wrong move he could have just increase size on his lower half and worked on his shooting. Who ever is mentor is. They are not a good one

[Spree2Houston]

Guys who are 270+ in the NBA

!) Deandre Jordan (270)
2) Andre Drummond (280)
3) Javelle McGee (270)
4) Nikola Jokic (284)
5) Demarcus Cousins (270)
6) Brook Lopez (282)
7) Zion Williamson (285)
8) Steven Adams (270)
9) Joel Embiid (280)
10) Dwight Howard (270)
11) Jusif Nurkic (290)
12) Robin Lopez (281)

From this list, I think Mitch will look more like Brook/Robin Lopez than Eddy Curry.

Mitch has always walked funny. He has the same crazy gait as Zion - the one that doctor on Youtube famously pointed out brought with it a higher probability of injury. The two of them (Zion and Mitch) have the most exaggerated version of it in the league, I think.

[Kampuchea]

He'll be slow and more injury-prone now, hope we can trade him before the league catches on.

dude mitch looks like he can bang with embiid now...extend him now!

Workout video or not that looks damn impressive lol.

This means more to me than those ridiculous 3 pt shooting workout videos. He now will be able to bang with the biggest guys in the league. Like how Capela killed us on the glass and Embiid is a monster.

Assuming he completely didn't lose all his explosion this could be a massive year for Mitch and I would love to lock him up to something similar Robert Williams got from the C's.

Yep I'm feeling the same. If he has kept a good deal of the explosiveness then yeah he's a game changer for this team. Yeah like Capela was a difference maker for the Hawks.

Moved this here cause I thought it would be more relevant:

3) Frank - just like Knox and several other players - probably could have used a few extra years of seasoning before entering the NBA Draft. Sure, it's hard to turn down nearly $20 million over the first 4 years, but his long-term financial trajectory could have been a lot better had he entered the draft at 20/21 instead of 18.

I hope we're finally done with that ridiculous idea that we shouldn't be sending out prospects to the G-League because it might embarrass them. Both of those players could have benefitted a lot from it and now it's the organization and them with egg on their face because it didn't work out.

Which is why I'm a big proponent of McBride/Grimes spending a lot of time down there this season, and why I want Rokas to stay overseas for at least another year or two

Like, just facing facts, it's gonna be hard for them to get minutes unless someone's hurt, and even then, Thibs is more likely to just shorten the rotation than give them minutes, and I do genuinely believe that G League minutes are much more valuable than NBA practices

I think a lot of it is, the G League isn't really seen as a necessary step in development the same way that the minors in baseball is, but a lot of that is due to the differences in contracts between the MLB and NBA. In baseball, you can afford to give a guy years of time in the minors, cause his contract time doesn't start until he hits the big leagues, and even then, you have 7 years of control. Vs NBA, you draft a guy, and his contract time starts immediately, and after 4 years you have to make a decision on him, with only up to 4-5 years guaranteed after that, and if you only want to commit 1 or 2 more years to him, he can just leave after that

It can't be solved without changing how contracts work in the NBA, and even then, the players' union won't go for it. My proposal would be, you could "freeze" a guy's contract if he spends time in the G League. Maybe still pay him the amount owed on his rookie deal, but it doesn't count as a year (so he'd still have 4 years left), and it doesn't count against your cap, with the stipulation being he can only spend let's say, 30 days on the NBA roster (so like a modified 2-way deal). Now, the player's union won't like that cause it gives teams more control over guys, like you could keep Luka down there til he's like 25, tank for years, and still have up to 9 years of control over him. So there'd have to be safeguards against that, like if a player is good enough he becomes rostered and you can't keep him down at the G League indefinitely, he'd be a normal player like it is now. Someone smarter than me would have to figure out how to write that up, though

But the conclusion is, if we draft guys who aren't ready to play right away, or if we just have better players in front of them, we should just use the G League team. That's what it's there for.

[aromeoj]

Yeah seriously. Him being healthy is a game changer for this team. Noel can go back to doing what he's great at...backing up the C position.

Was talking to a high level doctor who saw him 3 weeks ago and said he is 280, but all muscle.

Really?

Yes...

[KnixtapeH20]

Lmao yall so negative about my boy mitch. I doubt he's 280 anyway even though his frame can support that

Lmfaoooo dead

[Jay10]

Mitchell is going to lose a majority of that weight from the constant running up and down the court, and it's going to start when they begin training camp.

I'll be surprised if he still looks the same in terms of weight when the regular season begins.
