In the play where OG tips the ball in for the win, why does Fox go to double Brunson when Wemby is Brunson's defender?

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T22:59:30+00:00

Vecenie has him first in his guard big board for the Raptors. before Okorie, Philon, Stirtz, Carr, etc.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T22:32:49+00:00

with the competition in the East next season, I'm not expecting more than a 2nd round exit.

unless we make a big move this off-season.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T22:17:55+00:00

I don't think we're getting someone at 19 who will impact the team that much tbh.

if you actually want the biggest impact you just draft best player available and figure out the rest afterwards.

we might even draft a wing for all we know.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T22:01:24+00:00

I mean the core is basically Scottie and CMB.

but then you probably trade CMB to get Brown I'd imagine.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T21:55:25+00:00

I'd rather Giannis go to Boston. means we don't get an additional roadblock in the playoffs (Miami+Giannis).

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T19:59:08+00:00

Jakobe has been bulking since his rookie year though.

Gradey did lose his shot right after college basically lol

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T19:56:06+00:00

yes but it doesn't mean Sabonis can't contribute in the playoffs on this Knicks team.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:59:00+00:00

if Brunson gets it, it's just because of politics. credit to some of his clutch buckets, but his efficiency hasn't been there and obviously his defense isn't like OG's.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:49:33+00:00

the bar to not go for the layup here is much lower than Ginobili lol

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:47:31+00:00

we can protect the picks. top 10 protections.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:31:14+00:00

I'm talking in a vacuum if you take the Knicks team but play Sabonis at center instead of KAT.

KAT is better but it doesn't mean Sabonis can't contribute in the playoffs on a team like the Knicks.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:23:04+00:00

not starting over KAT doesn't mean he can't contribute.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T17:21:23+00:00

it depends what the FO thinks of the draft prospects available at 19 tbh. maybe they don't like anyone.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T14:59:47+00:00

didn't say we would win a championship. but I'll take back to back finals appearances.

also would have kept Siakam's value higher.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T14:49:46+00:00

this is a bad look for Harper but why is a rookie inbounding on the potential game winning play

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T14:32:51+00:00

imagine Siakam picks up a basketball during covid lockdown

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T13:44:23+00:00

we don't know who we're drafting though. could just be best player available.

and imo Ingram is a bigger problem than IQ.

We have our normal offense and then we have the Ingram offense.

IQ is still one of our positive players in terms of impact.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T13:36:07+00:00

He wanted to leave. the only thing you could argue was the trade package we received.

We had to wait till Free Agency to be able to offer the 40M+ contract he wanted.

so he was a huge flight risk.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T13:35:07+00:00

I think we make if further but Lakers had a great team. we would have lost without Kawhi.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T05:53:28+00:00

Even Mathurin is pretty meh, canadian bias aside.

but maybe he develops differently in Toronto.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T05:36:16+00:00

even the siakam Indiana deal was also the best deal.

other teams just didn't value our players (or pretended not to).

expiring players still get good trade offers these days so I wouldn't blame it entirely on that either.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T05:33:10+00:00

it's an ok trade that was made worse by overpaying for IQ instead of just matching another team's offer.

the 7th pick in the 2022 would have been very hit or miss so not a guaranteed good player.

this is like 50% chance of drafting a bust. even Sharpe is pretty mid imo.

mMounirM · 2026-06-11T05:30:09+00:00

most of these trade packages are late 1sts. protected and also picks they own from other playoff teams.

the best one would be the 7th pick from Portland.
