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

This isn't even hyperbole. He needs to go to the bench and find his game there, it might be the one thing that saves his career.

I ain’t even joking I don’t think Knicks fans can fathom how bad dude has looked. This isn’t normal.

He looks like a miscast rotational player with delusions of grandeur.

You're more patient and optimistic than I and most others on here are in regards to Barrett.

I held out for awhile too but the start of this season just has me completely thrown off with dude. Year 4 and same issues we've been seeing since Yr 1 still present. Sloppy handles, turnover prone, can't finish around the rim to save his life, poor shooting, etc.

Aside from being a Knicks fan how do you still have any hope for RJ? It's been asked before a few times in this thread and no one can provide an answer, what exactly does Barrett do well? His defense used to be something you can point to and say well at least he holds his own on that end but you can't even say that anymore. He's not Randle or Fournier bad but this season he's had some stinkers on that side of the ball as well.

Seriously, what does this guy do well?

The only thing I can say is he rebounds well and puts pressure on the defense due to his strength.

Somebody said in this thread he needs to work with Brunson on his footwork. I think that’s a wise decision.

It's honestly disgusting at this point. I feel bad for Brunson. You have a ball hogger that plays no D and an extremely inefficient lefthand dominant player that plays like a fat kid on the court that chucks up bricks and throws his body into you for points. I'm so fuqqing mad cause DSJr and Kevin Knox are playing great.

I can't even get these mafuqqers the benefit of the doubt. You got 3 blind mice running this bih. This organization is giving the wrong players the green light. If Randle and RJ were on another team, they'd get waived immejitly.

Looking up stats (RPM’s - Real plus minus) and the only players (who play more than 30 minutes) worst than RJ are Hayward and Royce O’Neal. Hayward’s RPM is -2.13 and O’Neal‘s is -1.81. RJ’s is -0.87 but he averages a whopping 34 minutes a game, which is more than the other two.

It’s sad the Knicks have tied up so much money to a player that analytics have despised his whole career.

Randle for all his low insufferable IQ moments has been the least of the problems.

His RPM is over 2.0.

RJ is the biggest culprit right now.

Both are trash.

 

[In The Zone '98]

This has to be the last year of the RJ Barrett experience.

You can't make $30m a year shooting 30 percent here. YOU CANT DO IT!

Now, they gotta beg somebody. With multiple 1sts, to take this contract off their hands.

God hates the Knicks.

 

[g-ice]

Breh you just being overly pessimistic for the fukk of it.

We get Randle has moments of being trash and I’m one to pinpoint that out but even I’ll be real enough to point he’s had great moments offensively this season that have led to victories.

Can’t say the same for the other motherfukker. So I’ll say it again.

He’s the least of the teams problem. RJ is the lingering issue.

Strong onus on Knicks fans for hyping and coddling this dude and falling for his marketing and persona. The front office was in a bind.

Now we’re truly fukked this is exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

Niqqa plays no D, doesn't rebound and doesn't move without the ball.

You think a star and Brunson gonna go far with that bum there?

Ok my niqqa. Let's trade IQ, Toppin, Rose plus picks for whoever you want with Thibs still coaching and see how this goes. Mind you, Thibs gonna put Reddish and Grimes waaaaaaaay in the back and use a 9 man rotation.
