The Knicks only remaining priorities according to Ian Begley is to decide who plays the starting shooting guard role (Grimes or Barrett) and to work on the Barrett extension. The roster is set

Starting to believe Barrett extension will be in the 120-125 area not near the 193 max extension I was fearing.

Why not just start both grimes and Barrett?

Brunson, Grimes, RJ, Randle and Mitch has a nice mix of defense and offense

Well Ian said the roster is set so that means Cam reddish will still be here barring any late circumstances. So it’s probably a decision of Cam and Barrett or Barrett and Grimes.

Honestly even though it won’t happen a lineup of Cam and Grimes would probably be one of the most efficient wing lineups in the league.

:patrice: Doesn’t make sense to me

Why are we even entertaining extending RJ if he can’t even beat out Grimes for the starting SG spot

Edit: I don’t see Cam starting suddenly either if he was rotting on the bench

Fournier off the bench as well?

How can this be when Reddish is one of the most inefficient players in the league.

I don’t think it’s RJ beating out Grimes. It’s about whose a better Fit Cam or Grimes

I don't see Fournier being here by start of season.
I do which is where the decision on who the starting SG is. It’s between Fournier and Grimes and putting Fournier on the bench hurts his eventual trade value. Meanwhile putting Grimes at SG gives the added defense Thibs wants.

RJ is starting either at SG or SF
