Nah RJ needs to be at the 1 or 2 but right now without Knox they don't have much choicesUntil i see Dennis and more of Knox, our best lineup right now is Frank, Trier, RJ, Morris and Mitch.
@NY's #1 Draft Pick come off the alt account brehsaid this from day 1...
Mike Bud > D Fiz
Fiz’ bad ass wife had us clouding our judgment brehs
He’s not a better shooter than Bobby PortisWe could have kept Kornet for 75% of what we signed Portis for. He’s a better shooter and a better rim protector.
I've said this before, you guys got way more talent than my Hawks had coming into last year this time last year. I also believe you have some of the pieces to make things work but man. I just see too many chiefs, not enough Indians. Most of these nikkas tryna get it. No shooting or spacing. Low BBIQ, Payton and Robinson for example. Randle isn't a legit starter, nor is Portis. Morris is your best player, that's a sign of trouble. I feel for R.J. This just isn't in a good fit for him and I doubt the Knicks have the ability to make it right. For us, we had one great fit for Trae in Collins who was hurt till Dec and Kevin emerged in Dec and that saved Trae rookie yr and our season. I am not sure what the Knicks can do. This roster is more poorly constructed than the Lakers last year but without LeBron. idk. This is all I can think about:
I actually think the Mavs fukked up too. They landed KP, they needed to hit in FA since they traded their assets for KP. They failed in FA. That said, if they suck this year, they got a top 5 pick and if they hit on that, they could be prepped for a lot of success long term.The Knicks FO and Dolan always show low BBALL IQ in terms of constructing a team
The Knicks have done a finding gems like Porzingis (who is now gone), Mitch, and Trier
When I heard they were building this team in the image of an outdated team the Pistons, I was like
They should have only signed Morris, Gibson, Ellington, and a better PF than Portis
Then they would have DSJ/Barrett/Knox/Morris/Mitch right out the gate
The Knicks should have followed the blueprint of the Mavs and try to build around RJ correctly right away
The best way to build around RJ is to surround with shooters and guys who don't need the ball for extended periods
of time to be effective
The Knicks FO have obviously not done a good job of that.
The problem is the Knicks keep resetting the rebuild by making dumb ass decisions no matter who is in the FO w/ DolanI actually think the Mavs fukked up too. They landed KP, they needed to hit in FA since they traded their assets for KP. They failed in FA. That said, if they suck this year, they got a top 5 pick and if they hit on that, they could be prepped for a lot of success long term.
The Knicks maybe three years away. They might have to clean up the mess they made this summer. They hurt their rebuild more than accelerated it
This will be the only thing that legitimately pisses me offInjuries bug caught us a bit so it is what it is but Payton needs to be on the damn benchWatch Fiz fukk around and start Payton again next game.
