Older thread '20 NYK Off-season Thread

[RickyGQ]

I learned about this ish a couple of weeks ago
Why is this nikka shooting w/ his off hand?
He will most likely start practicing shooting with his right to compare in the off season
I hope his jump shot is not forever broken
If he learns how to shoot well w/ either hand that would be a unique skill I've never seen before
Imagine this nikka shooting right handed for head on 3s and left handed for corner 3s
Right handed for one side of the court and left handed for another side of the court for fts
Randomly switches up shooting patterns to throw the defender off

I feel like it takes 3 full off seasons of shooting for most players to improve their shooting. If he spends this whole summer experimenting it’s a setback. He might just be better off sticking with the left. Especially if he’s been shooting like this for years.

What did This say

Leon Rose is starting on March 1st.

How much would offer Fred VanVleet?
Would you risk it for Cousins or Josh Jackson, maybe a 1 year deal?
Aside from the draft what move could turn around this franchise in the right direction?

 

[JMurder]

so they lost to 3 title contenders and us
not sure what point u were trying to make

This is why you're pointless to talk to. Who did the Knicks lose to in November? Yes, I want you to list all of the teams

I partially read the rest of @seemorecizzy post. So Fiz two wins over Dallas weren't flukes but the team is trash but Dallas is a very good team.

I wouldn’t want FVV unless we were getting two good vets with him. He’s not on the same timeline as rj and Mitch. When we had Mook, my perfect off season was trading Randle and signing FVV and Bogdanovic to put with RJ and Mitch. I think that team is a 6-8 seed easily. You’d probably have to pay each 18-20 mil a season. Give them each the deal Randle got last year 2+1.

He’s probably gonna get north of 20 million per. My preference is to throw the bag at Ingram and draft one of the high potential PG’s there. I wouldn’t hate a move for FVV though, he’s legit.

I don’t know..... honestly if we draft Hayes, Ball, or Halliburton I wouldn’t want to create another logjam. Honestly after The Jordan Hill draft fiasco they should grab a god damn PG just cause it’s such a strong pg draft. People get pissed we didn’t get Curry, but what really is annoying is they didn’t grab Teague or Jennings and both of those guys would have been good for us for years.

Honestly I don’t see any fixes this year outside of some crazy trade. Maybe throw a stupid max at Ingram just cause he is talented...... but I doubt we would be the only ones to do it and the Pelicans will likely match. I like Obi as a non PG but they got to be really, REALLY fukking sure he is the real deal to get him over the guards available.

Everything I’m reading is that he’s a really bad defender.

[RickyGQ]

Good for Zo.

fukk Elfrid

 

[Aintnobodystupid]

Payton channeled his inner dubious there.

 

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

Frank, Zo, RJ, Portis, Mitch for the rest of the season
Bring Dubious off the bench
It's a crime what they did to Zo this season
