Just trade him then…

Not that I believe this twitter page, but it's been a terrible trade so far through and through. That first we gave up helped Atlanta get Dejounte Murray, and robbed us of an asset that could've helped us land Donovan Mitchell while keeping our young guys, and prevented him from going to another team in the East. Just a nasty domino effect.

If the Knicks don't show out this season then Rose is no better than Steve Mills or Phil Jackson in my eyes. The Cam Reddish trade feels like a Steve Mills kind of move regardless.

They really need to trim the fat off this roster already. 12 players vying for playing time on a possible play-in team smh

To be fair though, he was starting to show a lot of promise last season right as he got the shoulder injury and then he couldn't practice the rest of the season. I also think he looks like he's pressing moreso than lost. He's trying to make the play, which means he'll try to chase over a screen when he should switch or slide into a passing lane too early.

It also looks like the scheme is changing slightly compared to last season (Randle is switching more, Centers are dropping even faster). I like that stuff for the long term but everyone's gotta adjust. Sims' hedging was pretty weak in his few minutes and Hartenstein kept losing position to rim runners with enough momentum to bump him off.

The scheme has changed for the better on both sides. Having a lead PG to set up other guys who can also create for themselves has this team looking as different as night and day. It’s all early but I like this team

Do y’all want him to stay in NY?

Grown man move by Barrett

Yes, we’ve seen the rest of the youth catch on to the system. It’s way to early to give up on Cam. They aren’t in the situation like Atlanta where financially developing a guy like him makes no sense.

I want him to get a few months at full health and working with the team, then we can decide before the trade deadline.

I love so much about this start for RJ Barrett. His touch around the basket has been impeccable early and posting up TJ Mcconnell is not an anomaly. He's posted that little fukker every time their switched throughout the preseason.

Knicks starters grinding out a lead

 

[storyteller]

I feel like everyone in this thread liked Mathurin and yeah...he's good.

It’s not pretty but Reddish at least can create something for the bench when they get a little stagnant.

People really thought Mitch starting position was in jeopardy because a career journeyman could shoot 3s.
