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

A player option after 3 years ?!

I feel like they based that deal on FVV. I also really want to see those two in a game against each other.

Wondering if Hartenstein can end up starting over Mitch because of that high post playmaking and shooting touch

He fouls a lot but he’s pretty damn good on defense too prob only Thybulle and Rob Williams average more stocks (steals+blocks) per 36 minutes

This guy should easily outplay his contract and be a huge bargain

I love Brunson’s shifty pace, the in and outs, the killer crossover, the hesis and stutter steps, the post ups, the midrange game, the floaters

Hope we can move Randle so he isn’t handicapped in anyway

 

[Ironman]

I just like that we got guys that actually want to be hear
RJ, Obi, Brunson, Rose, Taj, Mitch

Just hope we can move Randel and Fournier. Might be stuck with them but they can be trade assets later on when the cap goes up and they have less years on their deals. Hoping Cam steps up this year

You're missing IQ and Grimes

Now that Jalen is gone........45 wins for the Mavs next year, over or under?

Mavs Roster looking kinda ehhh outside of Luka. I'm going under, 42-45 wins sounds right for them. Our pick from them might be worth a damn now.

they one luka injury away from being lottery status. it's kinda crazy

We're gonna be in the same predicament as last year if we don't figure out the Foolius J. situation so there's that.

My only concern is Luka looks like he’s in the best shape of his life…

word is Donovan Mitchell is on the move if you’re reading the tea leaves. They traded his best friend on the team Royce O Neal, didn’t pick up the option of his childhood best friend Eric Paschal, didn’t pick his preferred coach in Johnnie Bryant and cleared another roster spot in Juancho…

I actually hope it’s not to us. A Mitchell/Brunson backcourt is not something I’m interested in but Miami sent a trade offer.

RJ is gone if Mitchell is coming this way, that or we're coming off of 4 picks at least.

Jeremy Cohen thinks the Knicks signed Brunson into an exception and still have 25+ mill in cap space…

Edit: NVM that’s not what would happen. We’d just have the MLE to use.

Hartenstein was somebody I wanted the Knicks to draft into the second 4 or 5 years ago, crazy how time flies. Watching footage of him and his game now reminds me of Jonas Valanciunas.
