Leon needs to be on this now. Give them nikkas 5 first round picks and whichever kid they want since they want to go on this youth movement

3 first rounds and RJ. I agree.

Leon Rose ain't gonna do sh!t.

He believes that Dubious Handles and Brunson will lead the Knicks to a championship

Didn't watch much Knicks last year, but how optimistic are ya'll that RJ could make a big leap next season?

Very.

Soto is another one

If sotto had gone to the G-league Ignite, I think he coulda locked himself in. But it seemed like no one was confident in his level of competition I guess. He looks the part and moves super well.

Four of my five got drafted with diop inside the top-40 and Luke travers barely getting in. The 6’6 best playmaker of the euro prospects doesn’t seem like he signed to any summer league teams either.

Can't call it tbh. He's a hard worker so it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

I think he already took a leap in the latter portion of last season tbh. The efficiency didn't catch up to the scoring, but I think a large part of that if playing in shoddy spacing as the focal point of defenses for the first time in his career. If New York is suiting up guys that can pull the attention away from RJ (Murray and Brunson both fit the bill), then I'd expect his production to level out but his efficiency to climb.

I wonder if this is a Alonzo Trier situation where he could have gotten drafted in the second but decided to bet on himself and choose his destination.

Montero has a hell of an offensive bag. He's gonna have no problem creating his own shot, I think he has natural touch too despite his averages. He's gotta get stronger though, he has a slight frame.

NY tried, our core just isn't appealing. If the shoe was on the other foot I'm not taking a package centered around IQ either. Better give me 5 picks on top of that.

and part of that falls on the gm and coach.
never gave them a chance to be built up cause we signed all these bum ass journeymen and a coach that runs journeymen into the ground

What other options do we have in the next year or 2? If we can dump Randle, we could max out another 2, 3, 4 guard to play around him and still keep 2 or 3 of our youth from a financial standpoint.
