Come on, manRJ and Lavine have the same agent. Who probably tried to set the trade up to get Zach away from Donovan.
What you mean? He’s from the DMV.

The Knicks basically did what I was asking for a couple of recaps ago...
Hart's not exactly "big," but he plays bigger than he is and gives Thibodeau a wing defender for guys that were too big for Grimes and IQ. As bad as RJ has been on defense, they really needed this kind of player. He can fill in for a lot of back-up roles. He can be a secondary playmaker when IQ struggles, a defensive stopper when Grimes has trouble, and a slasher at the rim when RJ is off. The dude will replace McBride and probably take minutes from others based on hot hands and defensive match-ups.
About the price, I don't think it's an overpay. Hart's a genuinely talented player in his prime. I suspect, between his CAA and Brunson connections, that the Knicks are confident he'll be extending for a price they're okay with. A lottery-protected pick for a rotation player for the next few years would be a fair price. If he walks, then this was probably an overpay.
We still have the Mavs pick, and there's an outside chance that the Wizards pick also conveys. Not that I trust them to use the picks in the draft. All signs point to loading up for whichever star player becomes available next.
The big thing for me, is that even if they traded for an Anunoby or a LaVine; that probably wasn't making them a contender. So, they stuck to their usual habit. They added another useful player, while a bunch of their young guys continue to develop and (lord willing) improve.
It's not a championship formula. But they'll have one more talented guy to fill whatever void is left when Leon Rose dumps a bunch of pieces into one big name. I think that's all these guys are waiting to do.

So here is a conversation starter:
Who would you rather the Knicks face in the first round? The Cavs or Philly?

True, but they also had issues with Dejuante Murray. Last game he did whatever he wanted in that win. To be honest with KD out of the East is there a Wing who scoring ability our current wings can’t handle?
I don’t think it’s a coincidence Thybulle got sent West to the Pistons, the Lakers got Vanderbilt, all those teams in the west we’re trying to OG. Orlando has two big wings in Banchero and Franz, but they are still young as dirt. The only real scoring threats who are big wings are on the Bucks and Celtics and they are no way playoff experienced enough to compete with those teams. The Raptors wings are more defensive oriented.
Out East the majority of scoring wings are SG and smaller SF. Butler, Dejuante, Jaylen Brown, Lavine, RJ, Beal, Donovan Mitchell, Haliburton (sort of)
I say all that to say this, they might figure out the big wing in time, but where they are a smaller defender helps a lot. Once Mitch gets back a lot of teams are going to struggle against the Knicks defense.
So he DID have a personal vendetta with Cam, and believes Obi a dummy, yet we see Randle, Quick & RJ make numerous blunders but still plays them 30+ a night.
Get Thibs ALL THE WAY THE F*CK OUTTA HERE!

Definitely face the cavs. They do not scare me the least bit. We can definitely beat them
We need to avoid bucks and celtics at all cost. I would rather face sixers than these 2
