Let's overpay for the guy whose team immediately got better once he stopped playing.


You mean the team that added Mobley, aka the Player we thought Kristaps would be?

I get some Monte Ellis vibes from Sexton, sure he'll get you points, but are those calories empty?

We'll probably send Obi + IQ for Sexton... (unfortunately)

Sexton, Grimes, RJ, Randle, Sims... at least it's young, I suppose.

I think he’d be good as a 6th man. Could really carry your 2nd unit offensively. But he doesn’t seem too willing to move the ball. Maybe that’s just from the limited time I’ve seen and he’s actually good at it :dontknow:

I'd say their reason for betting better is both.

Mobley is good and they are benefitting from the subtraction of Sexton. I was pushing for Sexton in the offseason but I'm against it now. And the Knicks would be the ones paying him his big money. Pass.

That’s ok. Let’s stack up the backcourt.

You could make the case that he won’t make 20M/Year now that he hasn’t been able to play this season. We could potentially get him on a buy low prove it deal. If he performs again and he contributes to us actually playing well I don’t see why he shouldn’t get paid then.

That's the beauty of the Knicks - they NEVER run out of terrible Coaches and Front Office people to choose from! 8-) :P :wink:

Brunson I think is a starter. Is he a top 10 starter? No way. He's in the 15-20 range maybe.

And that's a GIGANTIC upgrade from outside the top 40 for decades

Jalen might be in the top 30. Certainly not the top 20.

In no order:

Steph
Kyrie
Ja
Fox
Conley
Jrue
CP3
Dejounte Murray
Young
Dame
Luka
SGA
Lonzo
LaMelo
Russell
Dinwidiee
FVV
Maxey
Garland
Jamal Murray
ColeWorld
Cade

**** there are even some backups I’d prefer over him like:

Rose
Morris
Patty
Schroeder

Personally, I'm looking forward to 38 mpg of Alec Burks at PG next season after Derrick Rose gets hurt in pre-season.

lol ...i would over pay a little for him. A as starter dude is gonna give you ~17pts and 7Asts on high efficiency and he has improved every season. We could do way worse.
