Brunson worth the $111

He’s better these VanFleet in my opinion.

How he fits next to RJ and Ju with the garbage sets Thibs runs is where I take caution at.

Sub Ju with Obi and that’s a perfect combo, with Cam at the 3.

Julius would be the perfect 6th man with IQ off the bench, but we know that’ll never happen.

Key to this off-season is Obi/Julius

It’s no way you can play Obi anything less than 25 mins

I know it sounds like delusions but I think Randles on the trade market already. Also, Cam and RJ are some streaky shooting mafukkers so you gotta place Grimey Q around them and watch the magic work.

What if the Murray trade was just the Knicks driving up the price so that there are less competitors for the star trade they really want?
I was mentioning this the other day. The Knicks should be picking up the phone any time a star is on the market and set the floor price. It doesn't hurt to be the leverage that costs other teams flexibility.

After Murray I call Cap. He should get more than they have to offer, Mitch bird rights alone is why they are bringing him back. That 1.8 cap hold is valuable as hell
I really like Hartenstein, but I don't buy this either. But the market on C's seems pretty slim so maybe they think they can get him cheap. He's solid everywhere and prolly a better passing big than anything we've had in ages...the fact they're looking at Bamba and Hartenstein makes me wonder about plans for Sims. But if they get one of those two on a bargain, I won't really mind.

It remains to be seen with Cam. Him getting injured was bad timing. Thibs was starting to play him on the regular and he seem to be getting comfortable.

But It’s no way he can play Obi the same way he did the last 2 seasons.

Hopefully that motivates Julius, I think the Knicks drafting Obi motivated him that season. Obi on his heels. On top of RJ trying to solidify himself as a #1
