Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[Mr. Jack Napier]

@ISO thoughts on KD for Kat?

Brunson
Mikal
OG
KD
Mitch

seems formidable on both ends

Get this goofy sh*t out of here. Trading away a all-nba talent for a 37 soon to be 38 year old on a repaired Achilles is dumb & screams something Knicks management of yesteryears would do.

I don't mind my pg hogging the ball a bit if he's gonna get 30 and 7 on good efficiency. You not gonna convince me we gotta get the ball in og or mikals hands more instead. That shyt look good for small stretches I'm sure, but let's talk stretches of games and whole seasons instead.

Brunson is making too many boneheaded decisions, though.

Also, the Pacers gameplan is to pressure Brunson the whole way up the court and trap him. Either someone else needs to be the primary ballhandler (maybe start Duece in that role), or Brunson needs to stop dribbling the air out of the ball and pass it more.

Suns say yes.

Thibs running Mitch into the ground just so he can tinker with KD at C with Hart at the 4 would be spectacular.

We look our best when that happens though. Game 6 against the Celtics. Brunson was fourth in shots taken that game. Everybody ate. The best version of Brunson is when he would step in when the team needed him too. The other team starts going on a run, Brunson hits a clutch middy to kill their momentum. We were at our worst against Detroit and in this series when he walks into games pressed to get his. Like he’s trying to prove a point to absolutely nobody.

That's not a real representation of a competitive game

I refuse to believe there wasn’t a correlation between the team looking their best as a unit and Celtics running into a wall mentally and physically.

They should try to get Giannis in the off season. Just not sure who is good to trade away.

It night be the flu medicine and lack of sleep, but I still got the good guys coming back and defeating the Pacers.

add Precious to the rotation,

I wish I can neg you again

I thought we'd see more of Delon Wright because of the matchups & he's a bigger PG that can play defense & hit an open J. Payne's been getting abused out there & has committed a lot of unnecessary fouls. I wouldn't mind seeing him & Deuce in the backcourt at some point while JB gets a breather. I think he'd do a better job guarding Haliburton & McConnell better than Payne

The optimism some of you still have is inspiring......
