In theory it could be an awesome combo but reality is Lonzo injury was so bad there was rumors he’d never play again. He’s been out for two calendar years and the most recent update is that he might be cleared to run this month for the first time so he is still a long way off. hope he can come back next season though sad to see his career derailed like that


Remember when the Lakers picked him.....Laker nation was all hype and already contemplating whether they had gotten Magic 2.0

I saw that. It's ridiculous.

Anyway, Lonzo will be the better player and we need better players.

I'm pretty sure in 21 I didn't think the Knicks could get either of them because it was the Knicks and the Knicks don't get anyone back then...

There's no room for him in the Knicks starting 5. We need RJ's versatility (and he's a cornerstone), and we need Bullock's 3-point shooting and off-ball movement on the wings in the line-up.

Either you're bringing DeRozan or RJ off the bench. I don't think that's smart or a priority.

Haha, yea, I didn't think the Knicks were getting anybody so figured the draft would be the only way to get a PG that's why I said that but in that draft I was highest on the wing players.

It really is insane how good Brunson is. I don’t think anyone saw him becoming a legit star like this. Glad we made the right choice!

i firmly believed he would be an all-star for us. i'd seen enough in that dallas playoff run he led with luka hurt.

but he's exceeded my wildest imagination already. and, damn. he's just entering his prime. and, damn. his game doesn't rely on athleticism. who knows how long he could play like this? max extension loading.

thanks for everything, thibs.

Especially after seeing Haliburton wear a lime green tarp raincoat in Phoenix last night.

I'm ok dying on Lonzo Ball Hill three years ago. Time has shown that Brunson raised himself a few levels from what he showed in Dallas but Ball was a really good player. His knees just turned to dust.
