Official '24-'25 knicks season thread, Wu-tang nike commercial

[biggie62]

so with the harden drama going on in philly and embiid's displeasure shown via twitter, embiid to the knicks a possibility?
couple of sites referencing nyk having the best resources to get him via trade.

Only if they take randle back.

 

[paulminus]

Alot of reports saying Embid is likely. I honestly think Giannis is more likely than Embiid.

Giannis
23-2024 - $45,640,084
24-2025 - $48,787,676
25-2026 - $51M Player Option

Embiid
23-2024 - $47,607,350
24-2025 - $51,415,938
25-2026 - $55,224,526
26-2027 - $59M Player Option

Randle
23-2024 - $28,226,880
24-2025 - $30,317,760
25-2026 - $32M Player Option

Giannis won a chip and still did not verbally commit to Milawukee after. If he dont win a chip and dont sign an extension this season, perfect storm.

i wonder how much more can a player like embiid can help the knicks. sixers have had a whole lot more talent than the knicks and look where it's gotten them

30yrs old, often injured, conditioning & heart often questioned, etc. i don't know

 

[donewithjs]

Don’t have a good feeling about Joel.

 

[biggie62]

Embiid is fine but not with the penguin at the helm who will want to play him 55 minutes per game.

 

[ballinsam23]

I’d take Embiid in a heart beat. I think Jalen is better than Harden, and possibly better than everyone Embiid ever played with.

Only issue with Embiid is his injury history.

Im also curious on what the package would even be. Randle + RJ/IQ + every pick?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Imma call Michael Jordan to come dunk on you

Little Patrick Mahomes @3:40?

No

 

[njavier03]

Embiid isnt a good fit with the roster we have or what we'd have to give up to obtain him. cant start Embiid and Mitch together. both are too slow for small ball lineups or stretch 4s. Mitch would likely be included in a trade anyway along with half our roster. can't imagine having Randle and Embiid on the same team. thats a locker room brawl waiting to happen.

 

[Mister Meaner]

There’s no one available now anyway

Thibs loves Deuce, naturally. And he’s in a good situation to stick around for a while . High HIGH value on that rookie contract for another couple szns.

GM/Coach ;

Spoiler

Trade deadline make that move for OG if he’s out there for the taking. Quick + picks and Evan for salaries. The flirting has been going on long enough.

Move Grimes to the bench for a run as the 6th man when RJ is subbed early. And it’s time to play Deuce so we need a 10 man rotation for this to work at its best.

If he doesn’t play here and now then the pitchfork will come out posthaste. Sims will likely play when MitchRob or any other big has to sit.

 

[d3si]

Legooo!

 

[ballinsam23]

New years day game is torture.

I’ll be at the opener.

[big j 33]

I think I'll try to get to a game in Orlando this year

 

[donewithjs]

They still saying Portland don’t want Herro and need a 3rd team to flip him, what are the Cons against throwing an offer for Herro?

 

[njavier03]

We don’t need another wing though.

Brunson/IQ/Deuce
Grimes/DDV
RJ/Hart

Fournier is still technically on the roster too.

 

[paulminus]

Would you throw IQ in a trade to get back Herro?

IQ & probably a pick to Portland \Herro to Knicks

Mitch
Randle
RJ / Hart
Herro / Grimes
Brunson / Donte D.

Or keep IQ to trade for a potential superstar?

 

[keko jones]

Is Herro that good? Like what does he do better than IQ?

 

[biggie62]

Is Herro that good? Like what does he do better than IQ?

Yes a much more efficient scorer.

If RJ learned to go right, it would open up a whole lot for his game. Still seeing him only go left on a lot of the FIBA highlights.

 

[ballinsam23]

Thats why RJ is dominating FIBA. The world doesnt know he only goes left.

He looks way stronger, but literally every point is him going to his left.

Yeah. It doesn't help that Brunson and Randle also are lefties so teams are more prepared to defend a team of lefties.

 

[paulminus]

I don’t know if Herro is a “much more efficient scorer than IQ.

Herro average 5 more points than IQ but also average 7 more min per game than IQ, so that’s damn near a full quarter more. IQ was one of the best defending guards last season and played with two ball dominant players unlike Herro. For a similar price range I think we should keep IQ

 

[you go boy]

It's obvious we have to pay IQ who will be a trade chip down the line... Even though we have a ton of guards I see all of them playing... I think sims will take obis spot if thibs keeps a 10 man rotation
