"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[RickyGQ]

Can't wait for that stage. Got that young man a Knicks onesie with his name on it. Putting those vibes into the universe.

He will be the chosen one.

Pippen maybe…

Man, I can’t believe I’m saying this but @ISO might be right about Embiid. He’s definitely not going to be worth the headache it’s going to take negotiating with Morey.

Of course I’m right

Also it doesn’t matter who you pair that big flopping jumpshooting clown with you will not reach the Finals not unless he takes a KG in Boston type role

Have y’all seen this man’s career elimination game stats?

I’m only talking price tho. I fully expect Brunson to drive the boat. We literally were just one guy stepping up away from taking the heat to 7 at home. I think with the right trade, Embiid won’t even have to carry the team like he does in Philly. Now if we gut the entire team and it’s just Brunson and Embiid with some Nova guys then sure. But if we keep Randle and Grimes, (who should have another year of confidence) to go along with Brunson, Donte and Hart, I think we’re contenders. I’d like one more wing and one more bench scorer but that would come pretty easily.

Embiid will still demand his touches when he isn’t going it stagnates the offense he is overly reliant on midrange jumpers and fouls and can be a TO machine it gets ugly and you’re putting a lot on Brunson he was godly against Miami but that’s not going to be the norm every playoff series.

Horford is Embiid damn daddy

Embiid was outplayed by Harden in the Boston series and Harden always chokes but Embiid managed to play even worse to close out the series.

He will not get us there.

 

[Wargames]

I’m holding out some hope they can at least get a TPE for for Fournier…. the bare minimum returns

 

[Knicksman20]

Of course…. It’s just a shyt move I guess it gives minutes to Hart as back up PF, but who knows. Really a disappointing return for Obi. He’s going to ball out on the Pacers.

And if he does, Thibs should be fired or seriously on the hot seat because:
A- We could've gotten more from a trade
B: He could've played a more significant role on the Knicks.

It's a damn shame how he was mismanaged

Y’all really gotta chill Obi is my dog but the league isn’t sweating him like that

 

[Glorious]

Damn Knicks fans finally find out that RJ, IQ and Mitch are the only young players that other teams actually value. The rest are just throw in pieces. Obi for two 2nd round picks. SMH. It would be funny if I wasn't a Knicks fan.

It's not about overrating him. It's about the opportunity Thibs fumbled in to getting more value out of him in a trade

He wasn’t going to get you much regardless.

Like I said KJ Martin was traded for two second rounders as well.

Brunson is better than Harden right now. Julius is better than Tobias. We should have more depth especially if we keep Hartenstein. Plus Rokas.

Really bro lol? KJ Martin also played way more mins than Obi; he averaged 28mins last season lol. So comparing them is you being disingenuous again because it's related to Thibs. But Thibs can do no wrong in your eyes bro. You got it lol

1. Harden being better than Brunson is still a debate.
2. Julius is not a good fit with Embiid and has been W.O.A.T. in his two playoff runs here I'll cut him a lil slack because of his ankle this year.
3. Rokas may never come to the NBA and we don't know how good he'd be in the NBA he is not even a consideration for me.

 

[Lucha Vandross]

Eric Paschall still available? Could log some decent backup 4 minutes if he signs for the min?

KJ Martin would be playing 15 minutes if he had an All-Star PF in front of him

KJ actually played and was pretty solid and is younger than Obi yet he still only netted two second rounders.
