OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[you go boy]

thats what you call out of a timeout lmao

 

[floodarea]

did we even run a play??

 

[onewearz]

that play was pathetic, let alone the shot attempt

 

[don ramon]

this coach is trash

sick of him

 

[keko jones]

Boy I saw the last minute of the game and good lord Randle is god awful man.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'm done with this team until we make a major trade. Cant stand certain players and this coach.

We're about to get blown out probably in every game in February.

Be safe fam.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Tough loss too many missed FT's SMH.

I forgot to post this interview I did earlier with my guy CP The Fanchise

 

[floodarea]

another loss that falls solely on the coach

pathetic

wish the media would press these bums and ask some difficult questions for once

 

[finallyfamous]

GG guys. Have fun rest of season.

 

[keko jones]

Didnt like the RJ shot, didnt need a 3 there and especially one that far out.

What could he do? MF Randle dribble that **** andnpassed with like 3 secs left. ******* guy is atrocious man.

Let alone that god awful shot before .... MF is a ******* heel man.

 

[dmvisrnb]

I dunno what to say. It sucks because we have so much talent. With the right coach, an actual star forward, and a pink slip for Randle, we would be Top 6 in the East easily. The surrounding guys are good. The head of the snake is the weak point

 

[ballinsam23]

-22

 

[nick.]

Leader.

 

[Coupé It]

At least RJ made them in the clutch…..unlike some other people.

Just give him the reigns please.

 

[njavier03]

-22

Meanwhile Obi had a +20

Thibs might be the most hated coach since Larry Brown

 

[don ramon]

how can you continue saying "we already have a set rotation" when you're a coach who's under .500 ? lmao

 

[paulminus]

We should keep most young guns and shake the vets a bit.


Trade
Piston Get: Obi Toppin / Fournier / 2nd Rd pick
Knicks Get: Jerami Grant / Hami Diallo

IND Get: Randle / IQ / picks (Maybes Kemba contract)
Knicks Get: Myles Turner / Caris Levert
———————————————————————

Mitch - Noel - Sims
Turner - Cam
C. Levert - Burks / H. Diallo
RJ - Grimes
McBride - D Rose



Levert & Turners $18M contracts expire end of 2023 season, so we’ll still be in on Zion

This way we upgrade our assets and stay flexible. Would still probably be a top defensive team. I see moves like this more realistic than a trade for Dame or D. Mitchell

 

[biggie62]

Problem is you ignored grant in your lineup and other issue is you are putting Cam as your 4. Cam is a 2 or a 3.

honestly, i don't think we need to make that many moves. trading Randle, Burks, IQ, and maybe Fournier would do wonders for the our youth.

Rose/Deuce/Kemba
RJ/Fournier
Cam/Grimes
Obi/Sims/Taj
Mitch/Noel/Sims

i dont think we need a full roster overhaul, but i definitely think we need to get rid of Randle. playing through him is not working. dude is a pouty shell of himself from last season. playing through RJ and letting him be the facilitator/play maker at times has been extremely beneficial. he's deadass the only one on the team that threatens to drive. everyone else just stands around or paces the perimeter. pisses me off that Julius's big *** continues to pump fake instead of going up strong.

 

[you go boy]

i dont really like grant... hes a good defender but not efficient offensively and gets his because of all the chucking on a bad team...hes probably going to want to be the #1 option as well hence why he signed with detroit

 

[paulminus]

Mitch
M. Turner
Jerami Grant
Caris Levert
RJ

eh, idk about being the #1 option, but he definitely wanted more of an opportunity than he had in Denver and OKC. a trio of RJ, Cam, and Grant sounds pretty good IMO.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Mitch
M. Turner
Jerami Grant
Caris Levert
RJ

Not in love with this lineup with RJ at the 1. He should be getting fed. Nor do I see Mitch & Turner running together very well.

Deuce+Barrett+Cam+Randle+Mitch

Bench mob stays the same for the most part. Someone or ones are being traded by the deadline. Rotation needs some space.

If Indy is selling their big men, do what it takes for the other guy. Randle & someone like IQ or other young guns excluding the 2021 draft class, do it. Knicks are set at the 5 so Turner isn’t necessary.

 

[ballinsam23]

Ideally we’d package Randle, Burks, and IQ for one player.
