Older thread '20 NYK Off-season Thread

Have you seen Russell's contract though? Just wait for the draft and start looking at stop gaps while the young PG develops. This dude Fred Van Vleet'll prolly cost half the price on his contract and we won't have to trade anything to chase him.

Bogdanovic is who I'd look at trades wise. Not a PG, but a wing with some playmaking ability that can also stretch the floor.

Also like I said before Russell was getting all that love last season mostly because it allowed people to shyt on Knicks more and also shyt on Lakers/Magic Johnson for trading him.

He was a heavy iso, poor to mediocre defender who didn't show up for playoffs. You would've thought Nets won 60 games last season for all the hype they got.

In free agency everybody was saying he would be perfect for the Knicks, but the moment he got traded to GSW media went " they're not making playoffs with that non defense playing chucker next to Steph".

We desperately need a point guard. A true point guard. I would drop Payton and Smith along with all our bigs excluding Morris for 1.

D’angelo is not the answer

better than this train wreck, I thought Dennis Smith would have thrived in this offense. You know some sort of defacto show runner.

Brogdon would have been perfect next to RJ

That's exactly who I wanted on this team.

He still might, he didn't look right physically. Maybe he comes back with clarity and health and starts to get it going. But I'm also readying myself for a long season.

I think these guys will find their identity towards the mid to end of the season.

we clearly got different defintions of what a starting point guard is in this league
im just askin dis guy to atleast be george hill or something.

Clearly. These dudes are a trip.

Which Bogdanovic? Neither is for sale anyway.

Bogdan. They just committed a ton of cash to Hield (reasonable) and Barnes (no clue wtf they were thinking) and he's supposedly unhappy about it.

It's gonna take a few of these guys getting healthy and Fiz settling on his rotation so we have the continuity for them to find their identity and roles. But first, I'd just like everyone to figure out how to clean up the piss poor spacing we've got going on.

It also took a Caris Levert injury for him to step up.

Was listening to Knick Fan TV this morning and they floated the idea of Dennis Schroeder. What y’all think?
