Best to not overreact either way. If Barrett goes 0-6 from 3 or 5-7 from 3 can we keep in perspective how unimportant these games are. If Knox shoots 5/15 it doesn’t mean he hasn’t improved over the summer

Barrett will score 23 points tonight but shoot 42% and the volume scorer crowd will come out in full force.
Def excited for this game. We get our first look at Barrett and we should have at minimum 4 players going tonight who should either start or log legit minutes. Plus our second round pick. And of course we get to see Zion.
Barrett: I just want to see the jumper and a little playmaking..
Knox: Same thing plus i want to see his positioning on defense...
Trier: more playmaking, getting others involved..
robinson: same intensity on defense, but smarter, i wsnt to see if he has learned positioning and playing a little smarter, offensively i really dont care if he can shoot 3's
RJ, Trier, Knox and Mitch all out there should be fun. Also curious to see Zion (like everyone else) - I've seen some highlights of him out there in Vegas, and, um, he looks pretty damn fat. Maybe the camera added 10 pounds.
Also curious to see the D2 pick-up - Amir Hinton. Â
RJ doesn’t bomb tonight because we will then be subjected to a new round of negative, nasty and sarcastic articles from the likes of Isola, Beck, Bondy and others.
However, it is clear SL can’t tell us too much about any one player as Knox looked like a future superstar in last year’s Summer League.

Knick fans need just s little bit of sunshine.
there is going to be negative articles no matter what happens tonight...
the Giants and the Knicks in the media now. I typically just try to listen to podcasts. Most of them have a more thoughtful approach to analyzing the team.

Yeah... I saw the highlights of Zion too and he definitely is not in shape in the video I saw. It looks like he has a gut.

One of BBI's more connected members gave an early but obscure "stay away" warning on Zion. I thought he was hinting that Zion might have a relish for beer.
Probably shouldn't have shared that tweet. However, it does seem like Frank is the odd man out here - pretty crowded at the guard/wing positions. I kind of wish they'd move him for his own sake - they clearly aren't big believers in him and don't prioritize his development.
Frank. With DSJ and Elf on the roster (and maybe some PG minutes for Trier) i dont think Frank is going to see the court much. So whatever value he might still have will disappear.

Knox: Same thing plus i want to see his positioning on defense...
Trier: more playmaking, getting others involved..

I'd like to see Robinson develop a post-up game, playing with his back to the basket, but I am not really expecting to see that this summer.
If they got even a second round pick for Frenchy Â

There is no need really to move him at this point unless you get a great deal.
Let's see what he has in year 3, he is not stealing minutes or a roster spot from a more talented player.
He has shown flashes and might still develop.
For Mo Bamba? I'd love that trade personally, him and Mitch would be great
Serious question: Why would Orlando trade Bamba straight up for Ntilikina? Frank's value has to be kind of low at this point, since he's shown no offensive game to speak of. Bamba had pretty uninspiring numbers as a rookie but I still think there'd have to be something else in the deal to sweeten it for Orlando, no?
Added that it will NOT be a 1-2 year deal. He's signing somewhere long-term.
Ugh that’s too bad. Was holding out hope for a 1+1 with the Raps so he gets one more shot with their core and then gets a 10 year max somewhere. I really think he’s worried about body maintenance with the Lakers since they only have 4 guys. If he’s signing somewhere long term I bet it’s the Clippers.
Last year he showed he can play well against this level of competition. That was nice but as we learned, that wasn't enough. This year I want him to show he belongs at a higher level.
Impossible!

If Mitch developed some sort of perimeter game
If Kevin Knox II can be more consistent
What this Hinton kid is all about. And if Wooten can be like a poor man's Ibaka
How Ellenson competes because Lord knows he'd be a better addition to the team than Lance Thomas
Last year: Burke, Timmy, Frank, Lance, Kanter
This year: Smith Jr., RJ, Knox, Randle, Mitch
That looks like progress to me, but still a long way to go.

The Knicks and Magic are discussing a trade for Frank Ntilikina, per league source.

Wonder if we could get a lotto protected first.

Ntilikina and Fultz 🔥🔥🔥. 2/30 from the field every night
They weren’t too shabby.
day passes going for 80 dollars, 400 dollars for lower bowl

Correct. Fine by me though. I get to watch the end of the Yankees game, hopefully. Cortez made this a worse situation.
We won't call it game 1 yet cuz it's SL
