[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Brandon fukking Jennings

His best quality is he has a mean streak, just like Jennings if he hates the opponents his game will step up.

To be honest the cavs were trash with Kyrie before bron got there.

That's kinda my point - if he was special, they wouldn't trade him. As of now, it looks like he's gonna be a smaller version of McCollum. Can you win big with that sort of a guy as a focal point of your offense? Good player, don't get me wrong but I don't think he moves the needle that far for the Knicks especially since he's gonna get paid big soon.

We're not getting Collin Sexton for him to be a franchise player

Nothing about his game says he a starting PG on a playoff team. I know we need a combo guard but Sexton would need to add to his game even then.

Jokes aside come on now, you can’t compare how Sexton plays to Kyrie or how Kyrie ever played.

Lou Will didn’t put up Sextons numbers until he was a clipper. Almost ten years into his career. Either we built a culture in NY or we didn’t. We’re not building around Sexton. We’re bringing him into our establishing situation. That’s how the coaching staff is going to sell it. That’s not even to mention he’s the exact type of character guy this organization is leaning towards.

Same way they sold us on Rivers coming in and being a team vet.

Why are you trading for him then? He doesn't turn the Knicks into title contenders next year. You gonna give him a $170 mil extension, cause that's what he eligible for and will want. If you're bringing him here, he's a part of the furniture - not a stopgap.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

we made the playoffs with Elfrid Payton at pg taking 10 shots a game. i refuse to believe Sexton won’t help this team significantly more than he did.

What team do you put the Knicks ahead of next year? Bucks? Hell no. Hawks? I don't see it. Nets? Not even a discussion. Philly? Nope.

At best they're a middling playoff team. They're already that now. Add in the fact you're gonna have to give him well north of 150million dollars soon, as I stated, he doesn't move the needle much.

Scoring + help attract top free agents.

Again - what are you doing with him when he wants his 160million dollar extension? If you then give him that extension, how are you signing top tier FAs?

If you're bringing Sexton here, he's part of the core.

He ain't getting $150 mil. At best, he sees half of that if he's still starting.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Luca looks comfortable handling the ball against the US. Good enough to start or backup Rose if we go that route.

We don’t have to be desperate and overpay because he’s better than what we had with Eldrid and Frank.

22, averaging 24 PPG, improved all notable metrics every 3 years in the league.... he's getting paid.

He's young, he will develop further

Then why is anyone debating the idea of moving Obi or your other minor pieces to get him?

The concern with him is that his PPG is a product of his team and that he's better off as a Jamal Crawford-level guy off the bench. Crawford averaged 20.6 ppg for the Knicks one year as a starter, but he was more conducive to winning as a bench player. That might be how you use Sexton optimally.

Why do we have to give him that. He’s restricted. He can’t be a scrub nobody wants AND a player that’s going to command a max. We can match whatever a team offers.
