Older thread '20 NYK Off-season Thread

[TUA TAGOVAILOA]

Not the most exciting moves but Davis Bertans and Aron Baynes are who the Knicks need and can get them pretty cheap. Either of them and Christian Wood would be a huge FA win imo. Draft Kira at 8 and best shooter available with other picks

Question: How is somebody NOT a FIT for the got dam Knicks?? My bad...do we have a team?? What's our play style? Who's the core?? RJ and Mitch?

I've read in this thread about 'Fits' and even saw something about a player that could start in the NBA, just not on the Knicks!!

Are you fukking kidding me??

And y'all keep tryna tank for HS players b4 they go to College. I remember when RJ was a hot name in this thread and there was talk of tanking for him before Zion blew up. Just recently COLE ANTHONY was a hot name around here then he went to college. Now look at him.

Knick fans can be awful

Simple the team is the worst offense in the NBA. The worst shooting team in the NBA which means that adding a turnover prone, non-shooting PG is not the answer. We’d be projected to have at least 4 non-shooters in the starting 5.

How does it make sense to add this to the 30th ranked shooting team
Russell Westbrook Is, Statistically, The Worst Shooter In NBA History

I agree with you I’m not a tank nikka and I’m not buying into the hype of next years draft.

I do not agree with this Russy shyt at all though that man was an embarrassment last time we saw him on the hardwood. VanVleet and Paul actually balled out.

 

[RickyGQ]

quote where any of us said anything about whos da better fit for the knicks.
that's not the discussion
this is what im talkin about lol

It was said in here and it’s obvious to anyone who watches basketball. Furthermore, you can’t honestly name a single team in the league that would look better with Westbrook than they would with FVV.

Put it this way, there’s a reason the Warriors are shopping number 2 and won’t dare touch the Wolves 21 pick that’s top 3 protected.

(the or even Bam part was about whether Bam was a feature center yet, not if Mitch can reach him)

Next year class got a lot of hype with potential superstar wing players

I like Mitch but I’m not as high on him as y’all. I’d trade him to move up. High hips, narrow shoulders, stiff can’t get low, no offensive skill only dunks and lays assisted or off the rebounds, tries to block everything no defensive discipline can’t stay on the floor, solid not great rebounder, kinda fragile, great roller bad screener, turning 23 next season not quite as young as I’d like him to be. Tyson Chandler/DeAndre is his potential right now, we will have to make the decision down the line to max that teams are going away from that, plenty of raw rim runners/rim protectors in the league at the moment and coming in the future.

It’s clear we aren’t moving up anymore so it is what it is. Minnesota will likely take Ball he shot really well in their workouts.

Randle; 8th pick, and Clippers pick for Kevin Love and the 5th pick.

Would y'all do it if Hayes or LaMelo are still on the board at 5, would the Clippers do it?
If not, how bout the same deal but y'all keep the Clippers pick?

 

[ISO]

No team would look better with Westbrook that’s just a fact

Where ever that guy goes he will require 30-40% of the possessions he is incapable of playing any other way it’s how he gets stats

Honestly you’re going to see lol his decline will be televised

All in on Bertans, don’t trust Baynes.

Randle and 8 for Love, 5 and a future protected first. I’d think about that if there was someone at 5 the team really believed in.

Emoni Bates on ESPN2 right now

 

[TOAD99]

Man I want no parts of Russ

he’s a star just off name right now, but he’s beyond washed


In terms of point guards through free agency

I would prefer CP3 because he’s a floor general and would feed RJ and Mitch

then FVV because whatever he’s young, a shooter and a gritty defender

then Russ fukk that


Just give me Hayes or Kira

get Bane and I’m good

 

[Derek Lee]

Send that a$$hole Randle to Siberia.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Like @RickyGQ said y’all got me in here agreeing with @ISO for once

anyone that thinks westbrick is a good pickup is a fukking idiot. Y’all just want ass in the seats and games on tnt and shyt. We might pick up a few wins but our future will be the same. @K-ZOE stop that it’s these horrible hot takes my guy. We’re the worst shooting team in the league and need people in here that can actually make baskets and free throws. Get van fleet and call it a day.


On a good note I used that knicks app and had the roster looking like.

C- Mitchell Robinson
PF- Obi Toppin
SF- RJ Barrett
SG- Zach Levine
PG- Fred Van Vleet

and we got to keep Ntilikina we all winners here brehs


Gonna be looking like a 5th seed with that lineup

 

[ISO]

Mitchell Robinson and Obi Toppin some Frankenstein mfs

I think they can co-exist because of Obi’s three point stroke and he can pass that interior pass off the P&R and short lob he can make it

Mitch gonna have to cover for his defensive shortcomings

If we get Obi I need CP3/FVV and Joe Harris on the team. That’s a good squad right there.

Detroit more hungry than us...
