"NYK will surprise the NBA"...I believe 'em too. 19-20 NYK Offseason Thread

[Peter Popoff]

Guess we'll play Knox at the 2 or give Frank some minutes. Morris could play the 3 on a starting lineup.

Rj not playing doesn't hinder us as much as Knox, Dennis and Mitch tbh.

A mild calf sprain takes up to 6 weeks to fully recover which is plenty of time before preseason even.

Got this off of realgm, I don't have any interest in Draymond (good player, poor fit) but I do love that cap mark and the mobility it potentially affords us.

Duncd On was doing the market for Draymond next year and provided some of the teams that could have big 2020 cap space

ATL 78 mil
MEM 55 mil
NYK 57 mil
TOR 84 mil
PHX 30 mil

It's still way too early but how do you see our starting line up looking?

Starters
DSJ
Dotson
Morris
Randle
Mitch

2nd unit
Payton
RJ
Knox
Taj
Portis


This is if Morris can still play SF and Dotson is fully recovered from the injury.

Second unit in that scenario is most likely
Payton
Trier
RJ
Knox
Portis

DSJ
Knox
Morris
Randle
Mitch

Or

Payton
DSJ
Knox
Randle
Mitch

 

[storyteller]

Payton/Barrett/Morris/Randle/Mitch

With a second unit of

DSJ/Dot/Knox/Taj/Portis or DSJ/Dot/Frank/Knox/Portis

That's dependent on if Knox can play PF and how Frank looks. But I want at least one of Frank/Taj in the second unit to help defensively because I'm counting on young guys improving on that end and need a sure thing. Also, I like DSJ with the other young guys while Payton builds on his chemistry with Randle from last season; but I wouldn't be mad at all if Smith overtook Payton. That'd be a good thing to happen.

I think there is zero chance our # 3 pick doesn’t start (barring injury). The fan backlash from the Wall Street crowd that actually buys season tickets would be too much for Dolan to want to deal with.

Backlash for not starting a player who hasn't played a single minute?


I just wanna see the kid play. I don't care if he starts

 

[Columbo]

Smith Jr
Barrett
Knox or Morris
Randle
Mitch

I believe all the positions are locked in except SF. Im not sure myself who i would rather see start at the 3

You are applying logic for a section of the fan base that lacks it. There would 100% be a backlash. They are already pissed we missed out on Zion, and their thirst for a superstar that can help them justify their thousand dollar tickets and $30 beers has them expecting RJ to start. I work with these fools. and this narrative is already in progress. They are just itching to turn on Fiz if this kid doesn’t pan out early.

why are you’ve guys acting like FiZ is an untouchable coach ? If he can’t develop the #3 pick then he should go . He was hired for his connections .

No disrespect breh but that’s why theirs no continuity in this organization. Y’all ready to throw someone to the bushes as soon as you don’t see results
