Man, lowkey, I think we have a nice little squad if McBride, Quickley and Toppin are legit.

I think Duece could lockdown Trae Young.

It's gonna be some interesting matchups this season.
Man McBride will be lucky if he gets any minutes at all. With Rose, Kemba and IQ at PG and RJ, Fournier and Burks at SG unless Trae needs to rehab in G-League he won't be locking down shyt :manny:

I can see Duece (1) and IQ (2) playing the backcourt behind Kemba or Rose to monitor their health.

Starters:
Kemba
Fournier
RJ
Randle
Nerlens

Bench:
Rose/McBride
IQ/Grimes
Burk/Knox
Toppin
Mitch/Sims

There's gonna be some trades coming and we have a lot to offer. I just hope IQ, Duece and Toppin are not on the list.

Kemba and Rose will not be playing 40 min and Duece and IQ can hold down 1 and 2 respectively. RJ will probably unfortunately not get to play with his fellow youths again cause Thibs hates that for some reason :stopitslime:

Yep the more I look at this offseason the more I feel like the contenders will make trades before the deadline to try and bolster their rosters. None of them as built feel beyond the reach of the pack, and some of thing might make trades to try and catch up.

The Knicks might be able to trade some older vets for some younger proven prospects or flip side use some youth to go all in at a fair price. For once they are positioned to do trades by having both depth and cost effective contracts.

I don't see Thibs playing a 11 man rotation. If he staggers Rose and Kemba they can play around 25 minutes each. And hopefully IQ can run the point in real games.

If a Kemba/Rose injury will be the only time he sees the floor I would rather have him and the other 2 rookies getting playing time in Westchester until they're needed :manny:
