"11 Months Until Ring Night..." The '25-26 NY Knicks Season Thread

Starting lineup should be based on the match up

That sounds good but it always affect chemistry on the court and I think it creates stress for the players cause they have to assume that is temporary. If anything it says none of you are legit starter material.

Yea, Duece has earned it. This is no slight to Hart at all but if we build Duece into a key starter that consistently contributes at least 15ppg, teams will have a hard time defending us and he's getting there.

Over the last 2 games, he shot 72% from 3. That Brunson/Bride combo can be problematic and at best, we have a clear vision of next year so this should be consistent.

Ideally, I think KAT and Mitch should start and the bench should be - Hart, Duece, Clarkson, Yabusele & Hukporti but Yaba sucks and Mitch is on load management .

KAT is gone, brother

KAT is gone, brother

I'm Dominican and Kat is my Man ,100 Grand, However in this economy I'll gladly fire up my gas guzzler Tahoe to help him move To Milwaukee for Free.

just seen his "calf strain" injury hopefully it ain't nothing serious and they just shut him down to make trades, cause his game is all power and if he loses a step it's ova.

I would trade anyone on the roster for Giannis, including Brunson. Giannis has been a top 3 player in the league for at least 5 years, and has demonstrated he has the ability to will a team to a championship. As long as the Knicks can keep a legit 8-9 man rotation, I don't care who stays or goes. Although I'd love to see Giannis and OG on the same Knicks team.

And those 5 first rounders for Mikal got me tight right now

Would you trade the whole knicks team for the whole bucks team?

You get everyone, including Giannis.

Would you do it?

Who goes to the bench when OG returns? Josh or Deuce?

I think Deuce gets moved to the bench, but I'd rather move Josh to the bench. It's just the impression I get from Brown doing the whole speech about the coaching staff advising him to start Josh. He gave them a lot of credit, so I feel like it'd be weird to bench Hart right after giving him and the assistants so much credit.

But personally, I think Deuce's POA defense is a huge benefit to the starters. I think Deuce/Bridges/OG covers for Brunson and KAT's defensive deficiencies better than any other options.
