Official '24 NYK off-season thread; Mikal Bridges is a knick

[Air Pope]

Is this guy Robert Randolph a reliable source?

He’s a serial capper

 

[アミーゴ]

I never said if +/- matters or not. I posted +/- for the second time now cause this comment below was funny, but Don't get hung up on it too much

I never said you did

 

[d3si]

So RJ's migraine was actually Thibs?

Good for RJ and Quickley tho

 

[ballinsam23]

RJ all of a sudden back to hitting 3s in Toronto too. Glad to see him back on track.

IQ threw a shot at Thibs the other day too

As reliable as Biden forgiving all Student Loans.

Ay ay ay y'all talkin **** about me? looool idc about +/- as long as we get the W. Someone can get a triple double and score 30 and 60% fg and still go negative if the team loses.

[ballinsam23]

Its too early to roll with this group imo. Trade deadline is Feb 8, need a slightly bigger sample size.

Curious to see how we look when Brunson and Randle struggle.

 

[nick.]

I don't think any team is doing much winning if their two all-stars have off nights

But, just last week we saw Brunson struggle vs the Wolves & Randle against the Sixers. Feel like it's rare that they both have bad nights together.

 

[ballinsam23]

Its more so who steps up when Randle ****s the bed again in the playoffs. OG isnt that guy to be the 3rd option scoring wise.

Spacing is infinitely better, but I guess we'll see if Grimes and Donte hit their shots.

 

[biggie62]

Grimes half brother plays defense for the NHL canucks. They showed him at yesterday’s rangers game. So random.

 

[you go boy]

randle supporting cast was terrible in 2021 and last year he had a bum ankle... not making excuses for him he still needs to play better though... I think if he doesn't play well this playoffs he will definitely be traded in the summer

 

[ballinsam23]

Would it be cheaper to acquire Rozier over Brogdon? Feel like thats another player we should look into

 

[keko jones]

Honestly, I appreciate the Knicks' current setup. They've equipped Thibs with the tools he needs, showcasing a mix of borderline superstars and gritty defensive players. It might not always be aesthetically pleasing, resembling '90s ball with isolations and more emphasis on 3-pointers than midrange shots. I'm pleased to see Deuce getting playing time; he's a scrappy player with genuine PG vision and underrated offense. It's intriguing how Knicks fans tend to downplay their own; Jalen Green did less in the G League but was considered a better prospect due to being younger. Let the young players develop; they seem to be figuring it out, even in a small sample size. If they can add another starter to replace Big Ragu, it'll strengthen the second unit with Deuce, Grimes, Ragu, Hart, and a Center. While a Finals appearance isn't expected, the team has rekindled my interest. By the way, I enjoy seeing Knicks youngsters succeeding elsewhere; no complaints about moving RJ and Quickly, considering salary considerations (can't have then as 3rd/4th options making more than your 1-2).

FROM 2022-23 SEASON TO TODAY

T. Rozier - 30yrs old in March
2023/24 - $23,205,221
2024/25 - $24,924,126
2025/26 - $26,643,031 (Team Option)

M. Brogdon - 32, 33 in December 2024
2023/24 - $22,500,000
2024/25 - $22,500,000

I think malcom Brogdon will be a little cheaper cause of his injury history. I also think that may be ok on our team as this is a deep team and we can play Brogdon off the bench for 20-26mins.

But probably the better trade target may be to get Dejounte Murray, cause if it don't work out then we can pair Dejounte Murray + (another Player) + (Picks) for a star if it comes down to Knicks wanting Donovon / D. Booker etc if that becomes a possibility

Better fit: Malcom brogdon
Better Asset to maintin Flexibility & Potential moves: Dejounte

 

[biggie62]

Like both these moves are sideways moves. We need a true 1 next to Jalen. That’s what we need more than anything.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

We need center depth and another scorer off the bench. We can win 50 games as is.

If Mitch were there it's a solid group for sure. Depends on if they switch up come playoff time again. (Especially Rando)

 

[paulminus]

Mitch should be back by playoffs right ?

 

[jayocampo]

Mitch should be back by playoffs right ?

Nah they said its season ending. And even if he's healed by then his conditioning won't be good enough to start over Hart imo.

 

[jayocampo]

OG four 3s in the 1st quarter

McBride playing with a ton of confidence

Nice to see him step up with the time given.
