Giannis missed 65% of the series :what:

Again, this sounds like excuses. All you nikkas were jumping for joy when the Heat bumped the Bucks off. Let's go back into the crates and see who had the Heat winning this series. This was an abject failure.
He played in 3 of 5 games

Bucks actually won a game without Giannis

Giannis was present for games 4 and 5…Jimmy had 56 in one of those games :mjtf:

I wasn’t jumping for joy I warned y’all

We not better than Miami nikka evidently

Alec Burk is a free agent. Haven't really followed him much since he went to Detroit. He was a good 3 point shooter, and we used him to run the offense in the past. If Rose and Fournier go we could keep him on the bench, in case someone gets injured or isn't playing well. As young as the team is they could use a vet in the locker room and some of the players are already familiar with him.

I don’t think they need a vet on anything more than a minimum contract. Brunson is the adult in the locker room and best player on the team.

I like this team, they just got to add some shooting and self creation to the bench. I want them to get creative too, Burks is a retread, solid but this team is young. Get somebody who can grow with the team not retire here.

Just throwing some names out there that they can actually get. Who do you think will be / is available? Doesn't seem to be many good free agents out there that they can get.

I'm loving alot of the mature and constructive takes in the thread.

Even ones that are opposite stances.

Exactly bro. I posted in here that some of us were underestimating the Heat look what happened. I know we were hyped getting out of the first round & closing the Cavs out but

Don't underestimate them bro. They gave us hell at the end of the season. And trust, they're probably just as motivated to beat us as we are them with the history

I’d welcome Burks back. Chuckin’ Burks is better than RJ on both ends.

Knicks need to add some shooting to the front court. Robinson, Randle, Barrett, Hart, Hartenstein, Sims, Toppin these are either non-shooters or what Steve Kerr calls “sometimes” shooters can’t have that shyt. Need more shooters in general.

Cam Johnson, Seth Curry, Danilo, Max Strus, Joe Ingles, Josh Richardson, Georges Niang, T-Ross are some options

Not a shooter but Naz Reid can be a sneaky good pick up

Everyone seems to want Randell out of here. :deadrose:
What's the best place to send him, that gets us something back we could use?

I saw a scenario where if Harden goes back to Houston, they have some young guys and picks they could trade (A third team would have to be involved to make the money work). I don't think they want to rebuild, and if they can get a player right away to add to Harden, and the top pick they draft they would have pieces to build towards a playoff team. They already got Ujiri, so they aren't wasting anytime.

you just be saying shyt that makes no sense.
rj shot 40 percent from 3 vs the heat. iq was ass the entire playoffs, the knicks won 37 games without brunson....anybody with a logical take would start the knicks at 40 games minimum
where do you create these narrativies

Watch more games. Tryna write a narrative that RJ can shoot a basketball is wild. And not worth the clicks on these touch screens.

They sort of did it when he got here but those guys were all developmental coaches too. I doubt they bring someone in for offense even though Thibs got his career doing it for defense.
Honestly it would work better if they did

I wouldn't mind even bringing hornacek back as an assistant for offense at least the team has motion when he coached
