Hmmm. Brunson with 31 pts in 2 1/2 quarters in a playoff game without Doncick. Middling?

IQ ended the season with 34 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds and makes 2.2 million a year. Oh and our 2 best players were out. I'm good with the guy we got!

I agree IQ is going to be special, but if we can offload Randle to get him, why not? I'm sure Dallas doesn't want to lose him for nothing.

These numbers were in the 82th game. The last games of the season"s stats do not mean much.

Can you guess the name of the Knicks player who got 29/9/5, 16/16/11, and 30/6/5 in 78th, 79th and 80th game of a season?

So last game of the season > playoffs is what you’re saying. Good stuff.

Let’s be real here - Brunson came into the league as an efficient. He’s a consistent and efficient offensive guard - 2 things Quickley will never be. And I like Quickley.

according to the almighty TS% stat for efficiency, quickley and Jalen are about even for their first 2 seasons. And that’s with Jalen playing next to a All time great in the making
