Official '24 NYK playoffs thread, RD1 vs PHI

[keko jones]

I'm cool with staying as is.

Is not like the east got better, if anything it got weaker. No reason to mortgage everything now to still be 1st ROUND exit.

[Coupé It]

he’s a thibs guy sadly

Yup and that’s PROBLEM.

 

[keko jones]

This really had me confused. Like how teams show interest for Rose but you keep him to keep him benched. Like why?

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

I like the Hart acquisition. Our second unit is ALL-D.

I have a feeling this Lavine thing is going to come back around in the summer.

Would y'all rather have Lavine or Beal?

 

[don ramon]

happy obi stays

sick of hearing "he's a thibs guy"

**** that guy for real

Lavine, feels like beal gets injured a lot lately.

 

[biggie62]

They both aren’t worth the assets as neither moves the needle because of their injury histories.

 

[donewithjs]

who we saving up all theses Mid picks for though?

 

[Air Pope]

who we saving up all theses Mid picks for though?

A super-mid player

 

[Spectacular23]

Kris Middletown when hes 36

 

[don ramon]

Feel like Hart takes all off McBrides minutes. RJs minutes might go down too.

It’ll be interesting because he’s the type of player that deserves to play 25-30 minutes a night.

rjs minutes will probably go down. and they should. he doesn't need to be out there 40+mins.
i think it's the beginning of an uphill battle for him on this team, not majorly cause of josh hart, but there sure seems to be a willingness on the part of the knicks to slowly loosen their grip on rj

 

[don ramon]

no need for drose to remain hostage on the bench. knicks could've done him a favor and traded him to a contending team. he's gonna keep sitting on the bench for what?

 

[8pm at msg]

Might as well waive Derrick Rose

 

[njavier03]

If he asks for him, I’m sure they’ll buyout his contract

 

[njavier03]

Should’ve traded Obi if he’s going to continue getting 15mpg

 

[paulminus]

I think Knicks trying to save some assets for a major move in summer

Maybe, but what major player even comes to mind bro?

Keeps him healthy. That's Thibs guy. He gets to mentor the youth.

Lavine. Beal's already 30.

All in all: Great trade deadline.
Wishing Cam the best & hope he can seize the opportunity in Portland.
Love the Josh Hart edition.
We've got a high character, hard nosed team.

I see Hart taking Deuce's minutes and hopefully we can reduce RJ/Grimes/whoever elses mins with him here now so these guys dont get run into the ground

Our assets are losing Value, especially the draft picks

 

[airmax1fanatic]

o well was expecting more but at least we moved on from cam and got a thibs guard

 

[keko jones]

Imagine sending young healthy cats and pick for Levine and this massive contract plus bad knees.

He is skilled but he also needs his athleticism to be who he is. Not sure if he will hold up. I hope he does ... just not on the Knicks.

I swear to God we better not.

This would be so stupid.

This Superstar money.

 

[big j 33]

I'm not sold on Lavine with this team.

Hopefully we buyout Rose and he can find a contender to contribute

 

[don ramon]

makes me sick this was nearly 25 years ago
