I don’t think there’s an upgrade out there. Claxton can’t make free throws and can’t impact the game on offense like Hartenstein. Valinciunas is old and isn’t as high motor as the other guys

I should be sad about this series considering we had the kill shot Game 3, had a chance throughout 7 but truthfully I can't be mad at this team. Foundation is firmly in place, these players have all embodied what fans want to see for "playing like a Knick/playing for the city", they gave it their all for the final 2-3 months of the regular season and postseason.
Trade Mitchell Robinson then you extend Hartenstein with a 4 year $72 million deal
Keep Burks you need his offensive punch dude is just a pro

I'm not against this sentiment at all tbh. FWIW some team will still toss a 1st+ for Mitch off the fact that his contract is very good and *when* he's healthy he's a defensive presence. We just have to make sure they don't know he's an offensive blackhole and take the picks/young players and run.
I think Robinson is the only piece that gets moved and this team gives it a shot with a healthy Julius come fall.

Yea I would replace burks and bogi with some younger pieces
Prob trade Mitch rob 2
I think they should use one or both picks in the draft as they won't cost much
Last thing the Knicks need is another role player, the roster is full of them.
They need an all-star guard/wing or close to it, and they have the assets to make it happen (PG would be perfect, Bridges would be perfect, Mitchell would work, etc)
That will take them from a good team to a championship team.

They have to keep Bogey cause his contract has value, that's the entire reason they traded Fournier for him as it allows them to keep it on the books, but it's even better cause unlike Evan, Bogey is actually a good player.
Do whatever you can to keep IHart. He keeps improving and the passing upside he showed the second half of the season can be a key piece of the offense moving forward.
I would move Mitch, I know he's excellent on defense but he's always hurt and I just don't like offensive zeroes. He's so bad on offense, it's like unless it's a lob, you can almost expect him to turn to the ball over if it's passed to him. I know this draft is wack but I feel like there's gotta be someone in this draft that can provide somewhat close to what Mitch does defensively and isn't so bad on offense.
I don't think they need any stars. This team fits well together. I would lose my shyt if they got Paul George and not in a good way. That guy is the most overrated player in the NBA. Any team that actually gives him the max he's seeking will be regretting it by the deadline I promise

Knicks don’t get past Philly without Mitch’s defense on Embiid.
Trading him is very risky. Hartenstein can’t fill the void there

With the minutes Thibs is going to play these guys I wouldn't trust OG's body to last either.
Trade the injury prone guys like Robinson and keep Hartenstein.

Andre Drummond is a FA who can be a cheap filler and give you close to the defense Mitch does while being more available/healthier

Finally got back to the crib, As far as the game, there's not much to talk about. Felt like every time I stood up to chant/cheer, the Pacers would immediately get two buckets in a row. Don't regret going at all though, the vibes in the building pre-game & everytime the Knicks made a run were immaculate.
Got pictures with Spree & Camby outside the Garden too before the game so that was dope.
Idk how it came across on TV but the crowd went crazy every time they showed Josh on screen before tip-off. Gotta be the most loved Knick since......i don't know.
