Last 18/19 NY Knicks season transmission: "F*** all the haters from you to SAS" See y'all in '20

[Tim Dripcan]

Bout to cry...

RJ is strong AF for a guard/swing man.

I hope the staff get Mitch in the weight room so he can work on his strength.

 

[storyteller]

It’s tough to make a depth chart at the moment it’s a lot of pieces. I think we’ll see many different lineups this season.

I see Randle starting at the 5 and Gibson at the 4 to start the season.

Also I need Barrett and Knox starting

I have Barrett, Randle and Mitch pegged as starters. I'm nervous about DSJ and Knox keeping their roles tbh.

 

[GunRanger]

why do y'all keep saying this while not specifying the exact player that the knicks should be signing?

Dunc'd on guys were complaining that the Knicks are surrounding rj with no shooting like in college, so his strengths won't be utilized

This looks most likely, although I think Payton will take take the starting spot.

People were freaking out about power forwards but there's an actual logjam at guard position.

Maybe it’s my hopeful mind but damn I really got hope for the kids. Especially Rj and mitch , Knox to a degree but the first two definitely. I feel like RJ doesn’t have that usual rookie timidness

Yo...

Some of these takes, brehs... WOW.

Jay Williams is now saying that because Durant was the one who gave KP the nickname "Unicorn", KP would have been a great part of the pitch for KD to join the Knicks...

Now...let's really analyze what this nikka is saying.

And remember, we are talking about these "hypothetical" moves by every analyst who seem to know better that Perry/Mills would start with "The Knicks decided...". Knowing the bias and scrutiny that the sports media puts on the Knicks just imagine this shyt...

2019 Off season Moves

• Knicks going all in on KD, clearing cap space to potentially bring in another star to pair with KP and KD if he signs.
• Knicks make headlines offering a rehabbing KP a max contract.
• (UNFOUNDED)Rumors swirling that KD is feeling a bit hesitant about signing with NY without assurances that KP will be the player he was before.
• (UNFOUNDED)Rumors swirling that KP's team are feeling some type of way about having to "perform" for KD's camp. ESPN segments about "would this be KP's team or Durant's team?"
• KD suffers tragic ACL tear in the finals.
• (CREDIBLE) rumors that Knicks will soon be meeting with KD and STILL offering him a max deal.
• ESPN sports segments about how Knicks offering the max to 2 players with ACL tears "WOULD BE THE MOST KNICKS THING TO DO EVER."
• (UNFOUNDED) Leaks from Kyrie and Kawhi's camp indicate their desire to play with KD and KP has decreased because of questions about whether they will ever be the same.

I can't read the future, but I'd imagine the above would look so fukking risky and would be criticized by every fukking troll who follows the NBA.

Just imagine locking up KP and KD with max deals to two brehs with ACL tears. nikkas would call us the New York Knicks and Bruises.

fukking spot on. Not matter what we do we’d be getting killed.

We shoulda gone with a bunch of builds on the Knicks offseason app and posted the screen shots so @DPresidential could post the negative NY Headlines that they'd come up with for each scenario

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Mitch has that chip on his shoulder and I love that ish. One thing I like about these signings is that they pretty much all play tough, attacking styles. Fiz was with the Heat and they've always had a culture of hard work and wearing teams down. The Knicks have the kind of depth to chase that sort of style too and considering they're still gonna be at a talent deficit most nights it might be the only way to overachieve.

Also, tuned in to NBATV for some summer league (I'm a fiend and Big3 basketball doesn't help) and caught their review of the Knicks offseason. It was scathing, but also terribly uninformed. This was their projection for our depth chart after FA signings...wtf is this!?



They've got Randle at C; Robinson on the bench; Bullock's not listed; Hicks is still on the roster; Ignas not mentioned; and Zo has leapfrogged Dotson who was our starter for the second half of the season once we dealt THJ (30 of 32 games started to close the season out). That makes me think they didn't watch much Knicks basketball last season (I'd say I can't blame them but this is what they're paid for). I'm not asking for glowing reviews, but if you're going scorched Earth on the Knicks you should at least recognize who their best player was last year (Mitch) and what their depth chart looked like (Dot over trier).

I’m hmm ok with The team they have the potential to be a tough minded team , some defense , good length . I’m not necessarily sure how all the pieces work offensively with Fiz as the coach but they definitely have more options to lighten the load of RJ and Randle . I just hope it’s that lineup or a youth lineup and not Fiz throwing in his favorites

Fiz breaking down Mitch defensive potential and adds he was in the weight room working on his strength

Side note: we got some new smiles

Swap Dotson and Frank and that's my actual thought process. Iggy will play between the 3 and 4. Knox will have more minutes at the 3 but Ellington can play the 3 on small ball as well.

Someone said we would be like the Nuggets where we keep trotting our fresh legs and yeah..... I see that. We added a bunch of shooters, and with the additional depth at bigs.....

Plus not for nothing practice is gonna be tough. The youth need to step up and earn a spot.
