“Cutthroat business, Our Defense Lifted/What is it, THE WINGS?!?" Official 2024 NY Knicks Thread

That Ian article also highlighted what we already knew and that it’s time to move on from Giannis.

They would have to give up Barrett and Fournier but the Knicks interest is legitimate

I assume we'd have to throw in an extra asset or two. But that's tempting if RJ's the only young player outgoing. Throwing in a protected pick or two and getting to keep the rest of the young guys? That's tough to deny, though I'd want one more move for a rotation-worthy big wing.

Edit: Although part of me wonders if this is just gamesmanship. Leon would be doing Portland a favor to drive up the asking price since a few Eastern Conference rivals are interested in Holiday.

Starting to think Jrue will be a Knick

It makes too much sense

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Getting Jrue would give thibs a woody. Pause.

 

[Harleminthe80s]

I’m not opposed to Jrue

If RJ is traded

If RJ is traded

Addition by subtraction

 

[Wargames]

I don’t believe it because it doesn’t make sense. The Knicks got a deep as fukk guard rotation, and Jrue is 33 years old. It would make more sense if the Knicks were trying to facilitate a trade using Fournier and picks to get something of value back at wing/forward.

knicks aint trading rj for Jrue lol so its not happening

Holiday said he wants to hang up the jersey in 2 years. He's 33 now. He wants another ring so him coming here would be fukking stupid. This team not a title contender Jrue does what? Adds maybe 5 more wins? That does nothing in the grand scheme but make us have less picks and cap. He's going to be washed in another season that's an Isaiah Thomas move

Mitch responds to the trade rumors

 

[RickyGQ]

Agreed on Mitch. It feels like odd timing for a Mitch rumor, and he's such a good scheme fit that I can't picture them moving him without knowing they've got a second move behind it.

Exact clip I was lookin for. Could not remember who it was for the life of me.

Yes he’s probably worth 5 regular season wins, but Jrue takes us to the conference finals at least. And from there it’s damn near a coin flip depending on who we’re playing. But again, I’m not doing it cause of his age. Selling out for a win now piece that doesn’t guarantee a trip to the finals right now isn’t worth it.

 

[inndaskKy]

0-60 is that the record y'all looking to start your season with? Sounds about right

 

[OsO]

Obi would have been a nice piece to package with Fournier and RJ for Holiday.

Too bad we traded him for a chopped cheese.
