Official '24 NYK off-season thread; Jalen Brunson signs extension

[floodarea]

wait so what is the prize for the in season tourney?

is there even any incentive for contending teams to play their stars during it??

IQ makes sense to trade. He's owed money that I don't want to pay.

I wish we could trade him for Greg Anthony's son. The Magic have alot of guards

 

[nick.]

Why are we so against paying Quickley? Some players that are currently being paid around what IQ will probably get:

24 years old, 6MOY runner up, our best perimeter defender, and we don't want to give him market value.

Playing 3 less minutes off the Magic bench than IQ played for NY, Cole Anthony gave the same production

Bc all of those guys start, except maybe Harris. Not good value to pay a bench player that much.

Also all those guys probably have better playoff averages than 8-1-1 on 33/27 splits

No way I’m swapping IQ for Cole when they are both in Contract years and IQ is the better player by far and chemistry wise is a better fit.

Yes, Quick comes off the bench but he's playing 30 minutes a night & closing games. Not like he's playing 12 minutes.

Who is this magical player who is a) better than him, b) cheaper than him, and c) even available to sign/trade for?

Also Cole putting up those numbers on a bottom feeder should tell you something too.

The ninja who wore some Timbs in a dunk contest?

For Quick? A starter coming off the bench.

Can’t do it.

I like IQ and if we can get him for a 100 mil I’d be ok, but if not the only swap I’d like to see is him for OG.

I really think though we are preparing for Quick to out price us, so we probably negotiating a contract but can’t agree to anything so if quick come with the “I need 140” after seeing these FA signings we might not have a choice but to trade him. Might be similar to the Dallas and Brunson situation.

 

[ballinsam23]

What’s the deadline to resign him?

bingo. 100mil for 5 years is pretty fair in today's market, but i have the same impression that he wants more and thats a no for me dawg. ~30 mil a year for a player coming off the bench is wild. i'd rather package him for a starter or more impactful non-PG.

 

[ballinsam23]

Bruce Brown and Donte got a combined similar contract range than IQ

I rather have both of them on 2-3 year deals than one of IQ for 100 mill

You can get real good rotation players for that range.

 

[Mister Meaner]

They just signed another guard in White Donte to 4 years for about half of that 9 figure demand. He handles the rock & passes and shoots. Clearly a bench player.

With the CBA expanding next summer again, Quick might just be in for a bigger payday than the Knicks are willing to spend.

 

[Manny Fernandez718]

People are going keep asking him about other teams, the bulls aren't going anywhere. Soft a**

Jaylen Martin with the game winner in ot

Maybe a nice grab and stash.

First win in SL smh.

Fire Thibs!

 

[Spectacular23]

How about we borrow harden for a year and see what happens ?

It’s a legit 2 guard next to brunson, while still keeping the core

If not you can find me underneath the Brooklyn bridge

I’ll pour the cement boot molds for you if we actually make this trade.

I like IQ but at that money, he becomes a very valuable trad chip that hopefully we can move for a bigger need

 

[paulminus]

Its time for a new poll question, we can move past Dame for now. But Have ya'll ever tasted y'all significant others breast milk? Asking for a friend.
