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

[Anerdyblackguy]

This Barrett trade is fukking me up right now. I absolutely hate this right now

 

[Lurk Angle]

Grimes going to ATL with Fournier for Murray.

That would be a good move

 

[g-ice]

Yeah I don't like the trade, OG ain't all of that this year and Quick is definitely the best player in this deal. OG is definitely better than RJ though and Quick was gone regardless though so it's whatever.

Getting Murray now can offset the loss of IQ. If not they fukked up.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

Barrett is garbage and they ain't paying quickly so it's essentially RJ for OG and that is a win

 

[storyteller]

It will forever piss me off if they trade IQ without ever even TRYING him out next to Brunson. I get that it might have size issues, but they should at least make sure because the analytics are CRAZY positive.

That said, it makes sense why he'd be traded. He's the best player-asset; his next contract likely pushes NY over the second luxury tax (and Hartenstein's also due a raise); and the Knicks are overloaded with 6'5 and under wings. Combine him with Fournier and RJ (or Grimes, but preferably RJ) for a big wing that upgrades the starting line-up; and the minutes problems work themselves out. This is all kinda perfect to aggressively pursue OG, except that we're actively suing the Raptors

Guys…it happened!

Guys…it happened!

You called it

 

[tremonthustler1]

Precious as the backup Center…ehh whatever.

Obi replacement

BX ALL DAY

 

[ISO]

We got Precious too? Son from the Bronx

He’s still an undersized big and his touch around the rim isn’t good brings energy/athleticism, defense, can pass it for a big, and can even step out and hit a three here and there

 

[Wargames]

You got to assume the next move is a trade for Murray and that is why they didn’t send draft picks out.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

This hurts us to king

Yeah we have to do that.

I don’t see how Grimes, Fournier, and picks is enough probably teams that can offer more.

We also got Malachi Flynn. He’s though.

They got Flynn as well...hmm

I can’t imagine him getting playing time over Deuce but we will see.

 

[ECA]

Sorry Quick, but RJ is so ass. This is addition by subtraction

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Man imma miss Quick. I'll miss RJ too despite all the shyt I talked about him, but Quick is a bonafide hooper, I wanted him to stay a Knick

 

[RickyGQ]

They gonna have to give up at least a couple of first round draft picks there.

They saved them all so fukk it. The OG trade is a little easier to swallow now that it’s just a second. We probably sign OG to RJs contract this summer.
