Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

[Wargames]

Mad as shyt because I said Bane is better than Mikal and therefore more worth what Memphis got

Mad because I said firing Thibs isn’t good idea now we looking like a laughing stock and considering inferior coaches

If Bridges isn’t outplaying Bane and the Knicks don’t make it to the ECF I’m on your ass

and instead of dikk riding you could just….

I am willing to make a bet on Knicks vs. Orlando next season too.

Bridges is a role player, Bane is not. Bane is a fringe All-Star level player.

20/6/5 ain’t a role player.

You’re favorite player RJ Barrett put up 21/6/5

Yeah, he’s mid though.

One is a lot more efficient and significantly better defender than the other.

My Grimey>Barrett take also coming into fruition slowly but surely

That’s not what I said. The Knicks should be better than Orlando next season if we’re not well

Bane will be the more valuable player over the course of the season

He was a 20/6/5 with nearly 50/40/90 and plays above average defense. He’s not a corner boy he can create. He’s more than a role player. Bridges was never at his level.

Bane is like Donte on roids he’d be much better for us than Bridges

No bullshyt qualifers you add will change the fact that Bane is the better player.

Bridges is longer and has more defensive versatility and the offensive advantage that Bane has isn't by much. He's a 20ppg scorer vs Mikal's 18 on similar shooting splits. They're the same level player

Is he better than Franz in your opinion? Dies that mean the Magic have a big 3 now? Like the grizzlies had a big three?

None this even considers the value of the picks both teams traded either…

Bane was the better player and has been for years.

No amount of qualifiers or coping you add will change it. There is no data that proves Bridges is better than Bane or that they are “same level”. Bane’s value over replacement was more than double Bridges output.

Bridges is past his defensive prime he got blow by a ton last season thankfully he locked in late.

Yeah but we don’t know if the Knicks won’t improve with an offense that is better made for them. I was looking into Jenkins and his 5 out motion offense means Bridges could improve. I have a feeling whoever is hired is going to have to incorporate all the players on the team into the offense.

Bridges is longer and has more defensive versatility and the offensive advantage that Bane has isn't by much. He's a 20ppg scorer vs Mikal's 18 on similar shooting splits. They're the same level player

and Bane stunk it up in the first round and maybe that is why the Grizzlies said let’s sell While he still has value. Bane shot 22% from 3pt range, and 32% FG percentage overall. Mikal Was much better in the playoffs this year and unlike the Grizzlies had a deep run.

There isn’t a reason to think Bane is significantly better than Mikal.

Bridges is 69th IN VORP among active players. Desmond Bane is 88th

All-Time cumulative…Bridges is older and has played more seasons.

Bane doubled Bridges total up last season.

It’s cool tho I’m done with it you’ll just have to see next season.

This would be dope…
