2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[big j 33]

I've accepted my fate to get Donovan Mitchell. I don't like him as a player but oh well. I've come around and I'm on board. Just don't trade RJ

 

[rolaholic]

So how would that work??

 

[Coupé It]

The league and almost logical person knew the Jazz were going to blow it up.

Brunson and Mitchell can’t play together. It’s one of the reason I didn’t understand why went all out for for Brunson before having a discussion with Utah.

Thank god Jazz back to the **** cellar

Oh he’s untouchable. That’s been well known here in NY since last season.

I’d assume it’d be heavy on draft picks and maybe my guy Grimes

Me rn

Why wouldn’t they be able to play together?

Beat Woj and Shams once again

[Peep Game]

is that mid season tournament a real thing? **** out of here with that bull **** man. enough of the ****ing gimmicks

The whole play-in thing should’ve died with that whole season 9 Scrubs season. That was an anomaly year and there’s no need for a play-in or any other tourney types things

Why wouldn’t they be able to play together?

Two ball dominant players who are undersized. Who will get I’m each other’s way. Defense would be below average.

And before you say Luka - Yes Brunson did it with Luka well - but Donovan isn’t Luka.

Brunson, Mitchell, Brunson and Mitchell.

Dont matter. Knicks stuck in mediocrity.

Im not that high on Mitchell, whoever said he cant be the cornerstone of a franchise is right. Hes more a CJ McCollum than he is a Dame.

Yes Brunson did it with Luka but Donovan isn’t Luka.

Donovan has a 6’10” wingspan. He just played with another small semi washed guard in Utah. They were a 2nd round team. The only big backcourt in the East is the Celtics.

Not sure why you wouldn’t want two playmaking guards. Donovan going to have to clean up his shot selection some but he’s a really good basketball player and he’s only 25.

Mitchell is a bum. Product of the Jazz system

 

[storm2006]

This tweet is struggle for so many reasons.

Really curious who is running the 4 with JB/Spida/Rj/Mitch in this scenario, though

Mitchell is a bum. Product of the Jazz system

What Jazz system

Who could the Knicks have signed instead of Brunson that would have fit better with Mitchell?

Or would they have been better off holding off and keeping Burks and Noel.

But mediocrity would be an upgrade. What’s wrong with that? They’ve unintentionally ranked and that lead them nowhere

 

[addict4sneakers]

Of all the things to complain about Mitchell, him being 6’1” ain’t one of them . Plus 9 wingspan with all world athleticism.

So you think Mitchell and Brunson could work?

When you were just laughing at us 15 mins ago.

Be real.

in light of grilltalk, we need to talk about how clutch charcoal chimney starters are. made my life exponentially easier. i was BBQing like a straight neanderthal before i got one, burning newspaper and overusing lighter fluid. whoever invented this joint

Maybe clear that cap space to offer Ayton a deal instead? I'd be much more enthused by a Ayton-RJ-D. Mitchell pairing than what they will have alternatively.

You think I don’t know how good Donovan is?

Go look at the receipts. I’ve ALWAYS wanted him here.


But It’s not about that. It’s about BRUNSON.

Why go ALL OUT for Brunson before talking to Utah?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Strange seeing so much being leaked about Knicks moves all of a sudden.

Still Leon is playing 4-D chess and forcing Riley’s hand.

I do believe he [Leon Rose] is smart & informed enough to not be the next one one Ainge’s hitlist.

I’d much sooner trade Brunson for Mike Conley than take that small backcourt duo.

Talented for sure but Mitchell Robinson would be in foul trouble often picking up their slack. Game progressed so far that teams can get away with having 6’6-6’7 guys their shortest on the floor.

Imma need a bigger dude there …..
Preferably Barrett.

 

[shotsrangout]

brunson and Mitchell on defense is literally a turnstile. Mitchell Robinson might foul out in the first quarter with all the hacking he's gonna have to do after whoever they are guarding blows right past them.

whole league trying to get tall athletic guards and the Knicks decide to sign an undersized point guard and now trying to trade for an undersized shooting guard. being a knicks fan really is terrible.

should of tried to trade for Murray and send those picks to San Antonio. Murray would of been perfect in NYC.

god damn I hate this team.
