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

[Peter Popoff]

This team is very mid, we'll probably win the next game by 10 just to fall back to the averages. Does the FO really plan on treading water until a star is available? And when they inevitably strike out in pursuit of said star what then?

FO needs to just put everyone on the market but Brunson. They have 7 picks and could tank for a top pick this season.

I saw about 5 minutes and chose God of war ragnarok the rest of the night

Cam just ain't it man. The most talented player on the roster imo, but it means nothing cuz he can never put it together

This is a guy that hasnt shot above 41.5% from the field for a season since high school. All the way tired of people talking about his fake ass potential

Man has started the last 3 games and has 3 field goals in those games COMBINED

Why the fukk is Rose playing like 10 mins a night?

He has nights where you can just tell he doesn't have it. I'm hoping it's recovery from the ankle issues and not age catching up to him. But we need to start thinking about the long term replacement for when Rose doesn't have it any more...



This kid looks good enough to give us PG minutes off the bench next year, but we've gotta convince him to come over. I'd love to see Johnnie Bryant work with him.

There's way in hell we should be getting 3pt bombed on consistently by teams no matter the lineup. That's a Thibs defensive scheme issue. I can't be the only person that saw us getting killed from Boston by the same damn double screen play just about every time. Even against the Nets it was the same. Opposing teams run a screen play which causes us to switch into a mismatch & the ball gets moved to the open man because of the help defense

Any of yall coming around to why I was leaning toward a tank year? Sam Amick just dropped an article in the Athletic asking five executives about tanking this season and even with bad teams having success, they all expect a massive race to the bottom beginning around January.

We're in no-man's land right now...

Even in wins, I just don't like the construction of the team, there's a bunch I'll fitting parts on the squad and each player has major deficiencies that have to get covered. Our most "complete" players are probably Brunson and Hartenstein and they were both free agent signings.

I promise this ain't just cynical Knicks talk, I can look at other middling teams and say they should stay the course, but the Knicks? I don't even know what the plan is long term outside of a hail mary trade. I wouldn't be mad if they blew it up.

This court would hit a lot harder if the team were good.

Y’all already in here talking about tanking?

And no we aren’t getting Victor or Scoot

 

[storyteller]

Y’all already in here talking about tanking

I was talking about tanking all off-season.

Start looking at the rest of the draft class and not just the top two. Start with the Thompson twins. I been telling yall about this draft since last year's class was looking light.

Oh cats on that Tank wave already?! Good to see ya realized these niccas hot garbage early this time.

I'm a Knick fan and an Xbox fan.

My optimism has been trampled these last few years.

Leon Rose made me a believer with his savvy moves.

Phil Spencer made me a believer when he made those studio purchases (Bethesda & Activision)

2022-2023 - left with nothing but depression.

I'm out for the count, man.
