OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[Coupé It]

I’ve never in my life seen Kemba Walker actually make a team better. It’s the right move.

 

[ballinsam23]

Sucks Kemba lost his juice. But yes, the right move.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Damn Kemba

[don ramon]

geeze. that's really harsh
those new analytics hires getting no christmas presents from kemba walker this year

 

[floodarea]

shoulda known that kemba signing was way too poetic to work out

 

[harlemtothebronx]

It’s the right move as much as it hurts. Kemba’s just too small and doesn’t provide enough ball movement on offense to make up for it. Sucks, but I’m glad that Thibs is doing what’s best for the team and not dragging this out.

 

[you go boy]

I'm glad I ain't cop that kemba jersey lol...It was a low risk signing this summer... still wish they went after Lonzo instead but that's water under the bridge... I like the move tho

floodarea did you wish Julius Randle a happy birthday today

 

[njavier03]

crazy indeed. "out of the rotation" is a big deal.
i'm really surprised it was kemba, but who else would it be?
feel bad for him cause that's a big blow to the late stage of his nba career as well as all that enthusiasm and goodwill he had to play on the knicks

i figured he'd maybe come off the bench, but he's going from starting to DNPs.

i think we should trade Mitch, bc he's about to be a FA and i don't want to be paying him 15mil+ per season. might as well package him, Kemba and Knox for Wall. Wall's deal expires after the end of next season anyway, so its not like we'll be on the hook for long.

i commented on the knicks IG post that we should trade him for a birthday present

 

[Upptempo]

Only the Knicks would use a guy in their promo for their City Edition jerseys then pull him from the rotation 20 games in

Thibs is learning

 

[Master Zik]

Not long until fire Thibs now.

 

[Wargames]

The biggest surprise in all of this is he went to Burks as PG instead of IQ….

I hope not, if they trade Mitch use it for a player who can help or has upside. Kemba is a 8 Mil contract. Even just letting Mitch walk and Kemba is here another season for 8 Mil is a better move than grabbing Wall to come here and bring his BS.

Probably the only time Thibs listens to the analytics guys.

 

[floodarea]

holy **** mcbride really got that

 

[sharpshooter718]

Walker is donzo. Will def be traded or waived with Mitch this trade deadline. Juju next

A kemba + Mitch package should be able to get us a first round pick

Randle is moving mechanical again. Even though his skill level has improved he has gone back to being very predictable of that makes sense.

No it won’t

I was rooting for Kemba .. not good on D bjt always takes the charge.

Putting burk at the PG is hilarious..... hopefully it works but he aint no PG for sure.

IQ and Obi have good chemistry so I'm assuming Thibs doesn't want to break that up.

Quickley always looks for him down court.
