"NYK will surprise the NBA"...I believe 'em too. 19-20 NYK Offseason Thread

[Peter Popoff]

so again, why bring it in vets who start for playoff teams or at da very least, better teams, and tell them they gettin no playin time on da knicks?

fits can only do so much. they settin him up for fukkery

How so? We have a gap in the power forward position for all our vets. RJ can't play more than 40 minutes a game coming in as a rookie, neither can Knox. Elfrid is the only player we don't need unless Dennis Smith gets injured again.

I can see Portis, Payton and one of our original Knickas being traded perhaps for Buddy Heild or someone.

We’re a week out from opening night and we’re still tryna figure out what’s our starting lineup.

this is a sign of bad things to come from this team.

 

[Peter Popoff]

We need a backup of

Dennis or Frank
Trier
Ellington
Randle
Taj

Man, i thought Buddy wanted a 5 year 110 million dollar contract. I was willing to pay that. 4 years tho, that gives me a bit more pause.

Get ready for another rough season it seems

I don’t know if it’s heild but we better throw the bag at him or Ingram or maybe Brown.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Watch Bullock come back and get the starting spot over Barrett.

I was optimistic coming into the season. I was thinking we’ll be a good 30-35 win team.

I know it’s only preseason, but with each game I become more and more frustrated.

this is looking like another 15-20 game win season.

Brown doesn't deserve no bag

Honestly after Fiz and this core, if I don't see improvement, I'm giving up on the organization as a whole.

My nikka no you not

We gon die here

Buddy is legit one of the very best shooters in the NBA currently (most made 3s in a players first 3 years in NBA history) and he's a hard worker who's improved exponentially overall every year he's been in the league and still has the capacity to get even better despite his advanced age relative to when he was drafted. He's not a flashy superstar big name trade/signing but with Bradley Beal and Klay extended this year there really aren't any big name 2-guards that look to be on the market on the horizon, and the culture y'all are trying to build from the ground up isn't really desperate or in the position for those types of players at the moment despite media narratives to the contrary. Buddy has already successfully established himself in a similar rebuilding situation in the West with the Kings; if your FO were to take the chance on him I think he would be a big help in turning around your franchise's fortunes like he did theirs.

I actually prefer Buddy Hield to Klay Thompson

This is a pipe dream tho son ain't gonna end up here let's not do that

Silly but I'm legit annoyed that Frank is sitting to test out Payton and DSJ. Dudes been playing well, why does he have to sit? shyt like this could easily be interpreted as a positive and them saying that hes good but I genuinely don't believe he's gonna get the chance he's clearly worked this off season to get.

He hasn't. This is another season of terrible guard play which is another reason why our offense becomes so iso and midrange centric. I love R.J. but sometimes I wish Ja Morant fell to us.

I hope DSJ is just rusty

I still think R.J. should be a point forward

They will take everything in a trade.

You right, but shyt wtf they gonna do. Lie to themselves about having a chance at Giannis?
