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

[njavier03]

if Bronny's dad was a random guy, would we even be talking about him? this is a prime example of people falling in love with a name.

If the knicks were healthy...it could've been knicks vs another Texas team in the finals

A Philly writer basing his assumption on some loose sources. Just trying to cause a divide.

The Athletic had an article with an analytics writer who thinks based on last year’s production, Hartenstein could get 25-35m a year.

 

[njavier03]

Hart is not getting anything close to 35mil

 

[you go boy]

72 mill for 4 years is more than fair... anything more just let him walk... I like ihart but dont act like hes worth breaking the bank for... I'm sure we can pick up a center in the draft who could be serviceable

i dont think our late picks will net as a center of his caliber, but $35mil/yr is insane. he needs to do a bit more scoring to even get into the mid 20s

 

[アミーゴ]

Anything above $22ish is probably walking territory

Allen, Capela, Turner and Lopez - all in the $20-23 range

I completely agree... but they can be a cheaper option and maybe not have the same production but at least a fraction of the cost....we have mitch already whos a pretty solid center but too injury prone...so need a back up to replace mitch in case he gets injured... not a necessary spot to spend money on when it can go in other places like og contract, jalen extension and maybe julius extension... no need to drop top dollar on a center is my point...the new cap is a problem... dolan is not cheap and can overpay on contracts but the problem is once you go over the cap its rip... it effects who you can sign and or trade for... so with no cap room you cant do either one

at the end of the day I hope ihart resigns back here just with a lower end contract like nothing 20 plus

The passing is what sets Hartenstein apart from everyone else

Who did they pick?

Who did they pick?

No clear answer. Just that it’s impossible to guard Kyrie/Luka.

They did say Jrue shoulda won DPOY. Both said he’s the NBAs best defender.

Looking forward to the Thibs podcast episode

If we have to move Mitch to give Hart $25mil, so be it. Anything more and we have to let him walk. Mitch is too injury prone, and I’d rather have Hart if I had to pick one.

 

[redd spyder]

Damn all ya really ready to give up on Mitch like that? Cold game

 

[biggie62]

Damn all ya really ready to give up on Mitch like that? Cold game

He can’t stay healthy and he really hasn’t improved in any facet of his game since his rookie year besides being a bit better at staying out of foul trouble. While also being highly injury prone.

 

[njavier03]

I’m not saying get rid of him unnecessarily, but Hart is clearly the better player. If it comes down to being only able to keep one, it’s a no brainer.

 

[Coupé It]

I don’t think we’re giving up.

We’re just being realistic to the circumstances.

It’s going to take a lot of money to re-sign iHart. And we might need to offload Mitch to make it happen.

It’s business. Everyday life. Do I want Mitch to leave? Hello no, I want to keep them both. But what are we going to do.

 

[pr0phecy718]

No more sports at MSG till the fall

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I would only love Mitch to improve elsewhere or if we need the cap space for I-Hart

It’ll be easier to replace Mitch than Hartenstein
