"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[RickyGQ]

Doesn’t matter it’s about their skills and play style.

R.J. will always be a slow, methodical bully ball player with just solid athleticism with a shaky jumper who can make a skip pass.

IQ isn’t explosive either. He really struggles to get past the other athletic guards. His ceiling is a slightly more efficient version of who he is now.

Obi is entering his athletic prime NEXT season. I’m sure he’ll be fine but we have NO idea what RJ will be at 24. Slow prodding bully ball is something he’ll be able to do until he’s 38 years old. He gets a consistent jumper and he’s a multiple time all star.

I.Q. has range and can be very dynamic out the P&R he’d outproduce R.J. if he had the same minutes and usage.

R.J. most likely ain’t making no All-Star teams dude unless the Knicks are damn good…there’s always going to be wings better than him in the East let’s be real.

If IQ/Grimes/Barrett/Obi/Mitch started next season how would you feel?

Change Grimes and RJ and we can't count out Cam who could take that 3 instead.

He has a real shot at it next year. It’s still NY. If we’re .500 by break he’s gonna make it.

Obi
Still about career high performances at the end of the season, but Randle and Thibs needs to go

 

[seemorecizzy]

based on how rose was talking, i dont think randle is going anywhere. obi is going back to the bench

I don't think he's getting traded too, but Leon's not gonna reveal his hand during an end of the year interview either.

Are we locked into the 12th pick or can we move up if the Pelicans win?

Obi is requesting a trade if we go through this again

 

[ikbm]

yal being weird why would you even compare them
they're gonna grow together as long as we get these bum ass vets out of here along with randle
"slow plodding"...are we forgetting that rj's natural game thrives in transition...you know with guys like iq and obi pushing pace and making quick decisions.
they are all complementary towards each other.
rj just tying together an in between game will unlock a lot more down the line.
real nasty work tryna down rj for no reason. enjoy what iq and obi did tonight. leave it at that
rj getting 20 on any kind of efficiency while sharing the ball with julius and god damn burks is commendable alone. most 21 year olds would look ass in these circumstances

Obi and Quickley>Barrett

[Tim Dripcan]

It’s time to fire the coach and trade the vets. Build around RJ, Obi, Quick, and Cam. I don’t think we’re going to resign Mitch.
