Official '24-25 NY Knicks Offseason Thread

What’s crazy about it? He’s declined as a defender and wasn’t as good as advertised on that end this season.

I get it we won but he doesn’t get his dikk sucked for doing his job we traded 5 picks for the guy and he’s paid handsomely.

5 picks and not a single player of value. Bogdanovic ain't even in the league. Rudy trade was 4 players and 4 first rounders plus the KD Suns trade are still worse. The Bucks aren't gonna want any of those picks that they gave up so the Giannis deal is a pipe dream

it's also not the goal. This is the sweet spot for where National hoops fans want the Knicks to be: good enough to get gassed up, but not good enough to advance farther than this.

A decade of winning is good enough for me

I agree but lowkey Thibs should've been made that adjustment from since Opening Night

these two words on the same sentence is he is the most stubborn HC in the league, the dude has 7 strands of hair on his head and refuses to go bald, still combs it looking like someone sharpie'd them hairs in the front

Yeah people say we gave up 5 picks but not all of those picks were ours and ours in theory should be in the 20 range except for maybe the last one (hopefully not two).

We gave away a lot but I don’t think that could have got us Giannis unless it was a backdoor Luka/KP type deal where the GM considers the player toxic and wants to move them fast.

The Bucks are probably going to take deals from Brooklyn who might have crazy picks after a KD deal, Houston that has a lot of picks, or the Thunder or Spurs. All those teams are ripe to get robbed in a superstar trade.

I don’t care what other teams did.

Not about to have low expectations and praise dude for showing up.

I still think starting Mitch solves a lot of our problems. Idc if he can’t catch. Just throw the ball at the rim.

People fail to realize that having a shot blocking big just out there does a lot for a team's defense.

Why this coach doesn't play him & KAT way more or even start him is beyond comprehension. Mitch should at the least be closing in the 4th quarter. I really believe we would've beat Detroit in 5 had Thibs played him

It really doesn’t make sense because Thibs use to run Boozer/Noah out there and has done double bigs before with one of them always being better offensively and then other doing the dirty work. This isn’t rocket science for Thibs.

Part of me thinks it’s them trying to do a 5 out offensive scheme or 4-1 with Hart and he rather keep Hart at the two than move him to then bench.

Another part they don’t want him to be injured because he is there best trade piece if healthy.

They ain’t going to tell us, but we’ll know eventually.
