Look at this team, look at the roster. Unless there's a trade forthcoming there's no way this team isn't one of the worst teams in the NBA.

No one likes to call their kid ugly but it is what it is

On paper, they have arguably the worst roster, but I'm pretty confident that this team would exceed 22.5 wins, simply because of Thibs.

His teams always overachieve during the regular season with the tight ship he runs; demanding maximum effort every single game. Especially with the condensed schedule, I can see the Knicks getting wins against teams they typically wouldn't beat (when players are getting rested or teams are looking ahead). Load management is going to a real thing across the league this season.

What starting 5 do you recommend

Write down all the names on the roster on a piece of paper, throw them in a hat, and pick out five.



Payton
Rivers
RJ
Obi (but we all know Julius is going to start if he isn't traded)
Mitch.

Burks 6th man.

Yikes.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Yikes.

It’s the right direction tho... wish they woulda used their space to acquire some picks but at least they are playing it patient and thinking long term

knicks team in the past woulda splurged on van fleet or Hayward

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Is that when training camp starts? Ive been trying to find out

We had bum ass Trier and no offense Frank running the point first half of the season with Fizdale coaching, won like 4 games.

Payton a whole season with Thibs, and if Obi is for real I can see the improvement

Frank started the first half of the season? You lying son. Payton started most of last season. Do you watch knicks games?

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Payton needs to come off the bench with Randle.

Fixed that for you

Another coaching add, idk him but I’m sure we’ll get more info through the wire

 

[Derek Lee]

[Ironman]

Him being a g league coach means he'll have possible temperament to deal with younger players. Him being a Thibs guy also means he's not going to be for bullshyt
Question who do we have handling offense?

 

[Ironman]

Get this blatant liar the fukk outta here

Payton needs to come off the bench with Randle.

Why? He’s the only one who can actually run a team.

Payton played in 45 of 66 games he missed significant time at the beginning of the season.

Frank started 26 games many early in the season the position was his for the taking but he often shyt the bed and had to be pulled due to god awful play.
