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

[ikbm]

A lot of players young and old get hurt. His injuries don’t even have anything to do with wear and tear. They’re just common basketball injuries. Knicks wasn’t shyt until Rose got there and turned their season around and was their best player in the playoffs. He misses most of last season, and they went back to being shyt. He has a small role this season, and they’re beyond mediocre.

you rose guys are strange guys
rose was trash like a week and a half ago and yal were nowhere to be found.
its funny how "wear and tear" happens to him more than the average nba player. he had some wear and tear in his ankle last year and missed half the year.
derrick rose playing 30 minutes a night changes absolutely nothing about this teams trajectory cause they paid a point guard 100 million dollars to be an efficient scorer and okay playmaker...(which is all derrick rose is at this point)

How can you get in any rhythm playing less than 15 minutes a game? Rose is the only rotational player who hasn’t played a single game of 20 minutes or more.

he's not saving the knicks, fam. unless he wakes up and is 10 years younger. he could play 35 minutes a night the knicks will still be a 500 team.
he's 34 not 24.

Lmao Knicks

 

[Peter Popoff]

Man RJ, IQ, Fournier, Randle and even obi can all go

Inconsistent bums

It ain't anybody but RJ and Randle. Let's not bounce around the issue. The FO wants to trade IQ, Rose, Obi to fix the problem....and that is the problem.

Thee entire FO needs to be fired and RJ and Randle need to be on the market even if it includes giving up picks.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Why isn’t Thibs giving Rose any minutes? That man trained hard this summer to get down to his rookie weight, only to play less than 15 min a game, and sometimes less than ten min.

His body is not like its use to. If he could, he would.

Nah, Knicks aren’t that bad. Yall tend to overreact. However this team is VERY AVERAGE. So a .500 record is their ceiling as constructed right now.

I don't see it, but at the same time our best players are so inconsistent it's hard to call. Our only consistent player is probably Brunson, everybody else will go through some wild ass stretches of bad play and it's hard to build around that. It's all kind of bizarre actually.

Why is Thibs still the head coach?

We'd be better off if they were one of the worst teams in the league. The middle is the worst place to be. But that's this squad until they make a move, be it to win-now or shift toward the future.

 

[RickyGQ]

This is just who we are. Average. Better teams are going to beat us unless they have key injuries.

Being bad all the time & praying for the #1 pick is not the move either. Season is still early.

It literally is the move. Every up snd coming team got their stars in the draft, from the hawks to the pels to the cavs. The knicks dont tank properly snd Leon is content to not use the picks. And passing on haliburton is another sll time mistake


This team is going nowhere. It's time to blow it up

 

[El Jefe]

@Po pimp the team prioritized featuring IQ ( my only thinking is pressure from FO/ to see what they have, and also foe trade purposes)

Problem is he isnt a PG, he is a gunner, think ben gordon but IQ higher energy and better defensively.. Terrible in game decision making, started looking off rose alot this season to play a 2 man game with Obi, and showkase himself

( but kompare. Minutes and averages and its concerning how effectient he is)

And for whatever reason thibs had rose, play off ball during part of the szn period, as he was hitting 3 pointers.

Fell into the cavs trap of sittin in a korner and waiting for the 3 ball, as Obi, IQ cam, fournier all wanted theirs.

Since randle held a team meeting, they seemed to have tried to correct that some, thibs has also kut rotations, and having rose play more PG, and he has found a rythm with touches. On this road trip .

Either way i expect a trade sooner then later... F thibs for disrespzctin the gawd in this manner..

Who knew that playing a broken-down 34-year-old DRose was the key to the Knicks playoff hopes.
