"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[Anerdyblackguy]

Bro it’s not Lebron it’s fixing clear issues at a reasonable or low cost. What fukked up 2022 was the Knicks ignoring they needed a PG in 2021 and focusing too hard on the fact Trae was able to hide on Bullock. They let a bad playoff match up fukk up them improving the team

Getting caught up on KAT because Bam was able to draw Mitch and IHart out the paint and get his against Mitch or IHart is not the problem. The fact the Heat were able to clog the lane and crash the glass was the problem. The real issue this series exposed is the Knicks need outside shooters and they need someone who can get hot and break down the zone defense.

It’s easy to say get a star but it’s not easy to get a star in their prime.

I’m still against adding Poole however everything you said in the post is correct most notably letting Reggie bullock go. Reggie Bullock and Grimes on the wing would be great right now.

Knicks getting out coached & out hustled.

Thibs lack of adjustments is a glaring issue. He keeps trotting out the same lineup expecting shyt to be different. At this point you have to try everything. Play Rose as the backup in a pick & roll with Obi. Try using Fournier to space the floor.

And I don't want to hear 1) "Spo going to hunt Rose or Fournier". Well the Knicks should've been hunting Duncan Robinson. Or 2) Rose & Fournier haven’t played. Look at PHX & LAL. Lonnie Walker was out the rotation, and at the spark he provided. Same goes for T Ross & Warren with the Suns.

At this point it’s a gimmick to try and go small. If the playoffs are all about execution how good can they realistically be if they never practiced it? Thibs sucks in the playoffs but he bought himself another season. I expect it’s ECF or bust and then they get a better coach. Who idk because while Thibs sucks in the playoffs he isn’t a Fizdale/Hornecek/Fisher level bad coach.

Nah Bullock was a problem just not the one that needed addressing right then. I don't think it's a coincidence that in 2022 they started fixing the real issues with the team when they saw how pointless trying to beat ATL was because they just fell off.

Outside shooting Is a problem, in theory IQ, Brunson, and Grimes can eventually bring that. I can’t wait for the day we get a coach who recognizes that and utilizes them as such with plays designed for outside shooters.

With that said I do think they need a dynamic shooter, to not just stretch the floor but shake their defender and burn the zone down from outside. Stretch the defense out.

I wouldn’t be mad at trying to get someone like buddy hield. Great shooter, decent on defense and can start or play off the bench

 

[Spidey Man]

If we lose tomorrow I'm not firing thibs just to fire him, but I would fire him if the right replacement became available. Who that might be, I have no idea

Mitch is going to Mitch but he’s reaching a breaking point with this.

Constantly having to cover for half assing Dubious is clearly frustrating the shyt outta Mitch

 

[Lucha Vandross]

I bet the Cavs fans felt the same way when they traded for Shump and JR Smith.

I mean technically they did end up catching a chip with them nikkas

Can't stand him but he's saying everything most of us have expressed about Randle last year & this year. We need to move on from him while he still has some value

Unless we get to the ECF, they need to send that fakkit to the Baghdad Falafels ASAP.
