“Villanova Dogs and a Domesticated WildKAT... Make It Make Sense..." Official 2024 NY Knicks off-season Thread

[Wargames]

Another season gone down da drain.
Without Mitch, i dont even see how we get out the first round..

I wish we woulda upgraded or atleast got more depth in da offseason, i seen this frontcourt injury shyt coming from a mile away lol

They came into the season with three defense oriented centers on the roster. Sims is out two weeks so I think they’ll just see if he can be the sub behind IHart when he gets back.

knicks should go ask for what the kelly olynyk price is. toss that exemption and a bunch of seconds

Olynyk makes too much to fit under the exemption. You could offer Fournier but then Utah would have to throw something else in there and they don't have a small salary they wanna move.

I was under the impression you can combine it like trade exemptions.
I just knew it had to be an expiring deal.
welp

Olynyk is a good idea.

They may just wait to see who is waived and add the best talent. In theory IHart, Sims, and Taj should be the center rotation if Mitch is gone.

Precious would be great but a pipe dream. They already signed taj, watch them sign Nerlens too.


We never shouldve traded Duren. Was idiotic when it happened

Nikka said Wiseman

When Isiah Stewart is sitting right there…

 

[RickyGQ]

Mitch is damn near da main reason why we beat da cavs last year and his absence is da reason we lost to da hawks.

It would have been hard to pass the first round with him this year lol without him we are a much worse team.

Hartenstein is good fam. He’s not gonna make us as good on defense but our offense is way better with him starting. We would have beat the Cavs with him last year.

NY would love Stewart and so would Thibs; he'd be Taj Gibson 2.0 imo.

 

[In The Zone '98]

Can’t wait til we fukk these fakkit ass nikkas in the ass

I-hart is dope. He's about to outplay his contract and knowing us, we will lose him for nothing. But we need both him and mitch for any type of playoff run.

 

[seemorecizzy]

Like I don’t know any of that shyt.

The point is stop being so damn pessimistic and let’s see what the front office cooks.

There is too much season left to talk that negative shyt when they are playing well atm without him.

im not trying to be negative brother
We can try to be positive and turn the blind eye,
but this is da reality of da situation.

We aint doing shyt long term without Mitch..Also randle and Brunson realistically aint playing 82 games either...there was very little room for error on this roster.

Now we are desperate and scrambling to find scraps. All of this coulda been avoided in da offseason. Its not like mitch doesn't get hurt and miss time every year...its not like Randle isnt coming off a surgery.

 

[mvp_status]

I'd take a flier on Mo Bamba

In reality I-Hart is a starting caliber center who happened to be coming off the bench, so we just need someone to help Taj spot him his 15 mins or so when he comes out

Still, this sucks.........

I feel you, but who’s the player who’s signing with the Knicks over the summer in hopes of getting playing time if one of the players in front of him get hurt? We had 3 capable centers. 2 got hurt within 2 weeks. Sitting here admonishing the Knicks for not carrying 4 starter worthy centers since August is unrealistic fam.
