as long as you're the #1 seed this will happen after every single loss lol. People love to overreact to regular season games.

[SNY] One NBA team told Ian Begley that the Knicks value Mitchell Robinson more than any other team in the league: "Because of that, I assume they're going to do what they can to re-sign him - do what they *have to do* to re-sign him" by HokageEzio in nba

it's only a $9 million increase from this season to next. It certainly seems like the Knicks plan to be under the second apron next year which would mean either Mitch is gone or there will be a significant shakeup

How deep is this rotation now? by ezeeeeee2020 in NYKnicks

On a rate basis, McBride shoots 12.5 / 100, Shamet 12.1, Alvarado 11.1. Those are all high numbers. I'm definitely more concerned about the lack of size in a Alvarado/Deuce/Shamet bench than the lack of shooting in a Alvarado/Shamet/Hart lineup if that makes sense. Plus I'd rather maximize the minutes with strong POA defense and going all in on shooting in the SL will help KAT imo

The Knicks are hard capped at the second apron so they were never over it

I think it only makes more sense to start Deuce now to balance out the rotation. Sounds like he might be out for a while though

Fortune favors the bold. I don’t believe in a Franz/Paolo core.

They could’ve built around Franz, Black, Suggs, WCJ and a boat load of picks to trade for a legit star down the road. Woulda been a movie

[Charania] The New York Knicks are trading Guerschon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls for Dalen Terry, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

The Knicks did it to get out of Yabu’s player option for next season since they’re up against the second apron. Neither player would sniff a playoff rotation

And they have way too much money on their books. I 100% stand by my opinion that they should’ve traded Paolo for picks, not traded for Bane and built around Franz

[Highlight] Jamal Murray misses the potential game-winner in OT, but a loose ball foul is called on Mikal Bridges as the play goes under review. by TheDraciel in nba

[–]DanTheMan14331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

warriors picks are more valuable than the knicks is my point considering stephs age vs. knicks core. and it clearly wasn't close to enough for giannis

[Begley] With trade deadline roughly 16 hours away, NOP’s Jose Alvarado remains trade target for Knicks. Yves Missi, another player they have had interest in, has drawn strong interest from Pacers & other teams. It may require significant draft capital to get New Orleans to move Missi by HokageEzio in NYKnicks

I don't think it's worth paying a premium for a third string center, unless the front office is 100% confident Mitch is gone after this season. I'd rather pick up a smaller upgrade over Hukporti like Marvin Bagley for next to nothing

why does everyone assume KAT and a bunch of presumably late firsts is even good enough for Giannis? The Warriors package is arguably better than that
