no matter where he goes, he needs to check his ego and find his role in this league, he is not a star in this league, he is not a 1st and 2nd option, not even a 3rd option, so the scoring oppurtunities are not always going to be there..
I like Cam, i wanted him to start, but in his mind he needs to score to be effective and i think thats where him and Thibs butted heads..
I just don't think the KNicks have done that at all lately
ok Reddish...he's trash. Always was trash. Came here and played like...trash. He did get minutes early on this season....and no one wanted him because he's trash. You can't say the KNicks didn't try to play him because they did. And the Knicks have moved on from Reddish because they have better players in front of him. Who wants to derail a potential playoff season just to "pump up a guy's value? It really doesn't work that way. Teams know whether a guy is any good. We're gonna kill them for that? Kill them for trying to get him, maybe, sure. It didn't work.
It's possible that Rose and Thibs both wanted to take a shot with Reddish and that shot failed. I don't know why every player disappointment here has to be turned into some schism in the front office. How man y players are we even talking about? One? Maybe two?
You can believe that Rose is doing one thing while Thibs is trolling under the bridge and devouring any shred of youthful passion this franchise may possess. But it's a stretch. Simple reason? HE hasn't been fired.
Thibs wants star power here. He wants vet star power here. That right there is probably the only divide between he and Rose. Why the hell would Thibs deliberately sabatage or torpedo a player's worth here all because he didn't like him in the first place? And he's STILL coaching the team? And the player we're talking about was never really any good AND we traded a late round pick for him? THAT is where Thibs is going to pick his battle?
I think most coaches don't care whether they wanted a player or not. If the guy can play he's going to play.

He's not deliberately sabotaging a player's value. He's so focused on getting us to the playoffs that the short term goals are hindering the long term goals. If your goal is to become a contender then winningba few more games during the regular season isn't worth devaluing your players. You played Cam early. His option wasn't picked up. Trad his ass immediately. Nope. Rose was always being moved but he hasn't been. How exactly qre we supposed to get better? You drafted Obi at 8 but he doesn't fit Thibs' system. More devaluing of assets. Where is the connection here? We missed the boat on these moves. We did it with Burks last year. If you disagree with me that is fine but don't twist my words saying I am saying Thibs is sabotaging anything. Thibs is being Thibs. You're always the one waiving pom poms for this team. We all don't see it the same. If you're okay with fighting for a playoff spot every year then that's good for you. I see a team that is about to blow it all up again unless something serious changes. I'd like to not go through another rebuild with another group of people. That is exactly where this group is headed.

There is so much wrong with this, IMO. He's focused on winning as many games as possible. That's it. That's all any head coach wants. Thats his job. He isn't supposed to play younger players that giv e us a better chance to LOSE games. Also, if the player he plays helps us win a few games, wouldn't their stock rise?
Isn't it just possible that Cam Reddish isn't good? Obi isn't worthy of minutes? Everyone used to say the same shit about IQ, but now he's a key cog. Why? Because he got better.
Also, if you don't think this team is heading in the right direction,
then I don't know what to tell you. This current situation is nothing like years past. Getting this young team playoff experience and getting the team on the map as a desirable destination is very important. More important than playing a bad player like cam Reddish in the hopes that we can trade him for 2 seconds.

I love when people are just jumping in mid conversation. This all started with talking about the lack of vision by both the front office and coach. If Thibs doesn't wqnt these players then fuckin move them before they rot on the bench. Fournier goes basically from playing too much to not at all. How does he not have a role on this team? If Fournier was on any other team he'd have value. On the Knicks we have to attach assets to get rid of him. That is an issue with getting this star that we all want. Who are we trading for said star?

I have stated numerous times that I like the direction of the front office. I have stated numerous times that I don't want them doing anything stupid at the deadline just to make a move. I don't want a guy to come here just to fit Thibs. I want Thibs gone. I am so over his in game coaching.

So your issue is with the FO then, not Thibs. Who is Fournier getting minutes over? Thibs keeps a tight rotation

I guess I have a hard time associating Cam Reddish with short or long term goals. Even if he figures shit out he's a role player or a bench player.
I'd rather make the playoffs and lose in 4 games then play that guy more minutes just to pump up any perceived value.
if this sucked balls? like 25 win type sucked balls?
yea, MAYBE then you can justify playing Cam Reddish over someone who might be a little better but has reached their vet peak.
I mean we're talking about a winning team here. 2-3 years now this team is winning more games than it loses. We are one hot streak from a really nice year and even if it stays around this 45 win course, not bad.
We lose sight of this quite often. Even myself, but once the dust from an awful heartbreaking loss settles in I always realize that this team is good.
5 minutes before Rose and Thibs took over if someone said this team would field multiple young players and average about 44 wins per year, we'd all be fucking thrilled.

THIS, Last year the Knicms messed up with keep Burks and playing him so much over IQ and Mcbride and others..
This year you cant say the same thing, for all the faults of Thibs and all the stuff we dont like, we have a young team winning games, 6 of the rotation pieces are drafted players..
Reddish was a miss. The FA decisions that brought in Walker and Fournier were misses. I don't lose sleep over those FA moves because they didn't really stop us from doing anything else in terms of cap space and the picks we used to dump Walker were more or less harmless, plus this regime has been adept at gathering up picks to begin with.
Knicks are competitive and developing players. They just aren't great, yet. It's hard to blast the org for that.
IQ
Grimes
McBride (jury still out but he's playing and making progress)
Mitch Robinson(wise to re-sign and not trade him)
Figuring out how to get every shred of talent out of Randle and not dumping him for trash despite half this board wantimg the KNicks to do just that.
And even better, Jalen Brunson.
We have 2 legit all star caliber players here. We are a winning team. Star power. Here. It could be a lot worse.
Oh year, tons of picks still in the coffers.
We're fine.
I like this team but they really need to turn these assets they've accumulated into something. Or at least start the ball rolling with a smaller complimentary trade for better fitting pieces for Thibs system.
The Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves are in discussions on a three-team deal that would send D’Angelo Russell to the Lakers, Russell Westbrook and draft compensation such as a first-round pick to Utah and Mike Conley Jr. to Minnesota, sources tell me and @Tjonesonthenba.

Wow, now where does Westbrook end up on the buyout market?
Thats a good trade for Lakers because Russel is an expiring and he can play off Lebron as a shooter
OG Anunoby’s player option for the 2024-25 season and uncertainty about whether he’d re-sign with the Knicks are complicating factors in a potential Knicks-Raptors trade, per @IanBegley
Sorry more value in off season. I don’t see it happening.
Despite what folks said yesterday, Knicks can put together a competitive package for KD: Randle/Barrett and a ton of picks. Carl - do you think the Nets would ever consider trading Durant to the Knicks?

Agree. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t obsessing over the big fish type move.
Eventually, we gotta turn these picks into a Moby Dick. I love Brunon & JR is having a nice season, but we're not winning the East with those two as our Batman & Robin.

We all want that, and that's what they want too. Fans get frustrated because that guy isn't really out there. OG is nice but he's not actually what you want to move planets for.
Can't make a star come available, and you don't want to fall in love with not-stars just because they're available. They're somewhat a victim of finally fixing the franchise at a time where the window for grabbing a superstar is not really open.
They were close on Mitchell but dealing with one of the hardest to deal with GMs in the league.
No one wants to hear you tried and didn't get it done but sometimes that's really it.
Playing with two all stars makes them a destination and they have picks and talent to work with. I love where they're at but I get why patience is short.
I do think they need to be very aggressive when their target is there.
"Although the two teams have discussed a potential trade, as HoopsHype reported over the weekend, some people in New York’s front office aren’t sold on Vanderbilt’s and Beasley’s fit with the current roster, Begley explains."
the Knicks won’t do much at the deadline. He does seem confident Reddish will get dealt (insinuates they have offers) but the Knicks will take it right up until the deadline to get the best possible return
Quote:
says Reddish could be bought out. Are you telling me they can't even get a 2nd round pick or somebody else's Reddish?
No franchise devalues players like the Knicks
One could say no fan base overvalues their players like Knicks fans.
But maybe that's unfair...unless you go through our history.
I like Cam, i wanted him to start, but in his mind he needs to score to be effective and i think thats where him and Thibs butted heads..

I did jump in late, sorry.
So your issue is with the FO then, not Thibs. Who is Fournier getting minutes over? Thibs keeps a tight rotation
Quote:
Thibs wants star power here. He wants vet star power here. That right there is probably the only divide between he and Rose. Why the hell would Thibs deliberately sabatage or torpedo a player's worth here all because he didn't like him in the first place? And he's STILL coaching the team? And the player we're talking about was never really any good AND we traded a late round pick for him? THAT is where Thibs is going to pick his battle?
I think most coaches don't care whether they wanted a player or not. If the guy can play he's going to play.
He's not deliberately sabotaging a player's value. He's so focused on getting us to the playoffs that the short term goals are hindering the long term goals. If your goal is to become a contender then winningba few more games during the regular season isn't worth devaluing your players. You played Cam early. His option wasn't picked up. Trad his ass immediately. Nope. Rose was always being moved but he hasn't been. How exactly qre we supposed to get better? You drafted Obi at 8 but he doesn't fit Thibs' system. More devaluing of assets. Where is the connection here? We missed the boat on these moves. We did it with Burks last year. If you disagree with me that is fine but don't twist my words saying I am saying Thibs is sabotaging anything. Thibs is being Thibs. You're always the one waiving pom poms for this team. We all don't see it the same. If you're okay with fighting for a playoff spot every year then that's good for you. I see a team that is about to blow it all up again unless something serious changes. I'd like to not go through another rebuild with another group of people. That is exactly where this group is headed.
I guess I have a hard time associating Cam Reddish with short or long term goals. Even if he figures shit out he's a role player or a bench player.
I'd rather make the playoffs and lose in 4 games then play that guy more minutes just to pump up any perceived value.
I mean we're talking about a winning team here. 2-3 years now this team is winning more games than it loses. We are one hot streak from a really nice year and even if it stays around this 45 win course, not bad.
We lose sight of this quite often. Even myself, but once the dust from an awful heartbreaking loss settles in I always realize that this team is good.

THIS, Last year the Knicms messed up with keep Burks and playing him so much over IQ and Mcbride and others..
This year you cant say the same thing, for all the faults of Thibs and all the stuff we dont like, we have a young team winning games, 6 of the rotation pieces are drafted players..
Knicks are competitive and developing players. They just aren't great, yet. It's hard to blast the org for that.
Grimes
McBride (jury still out but he's playing and making progress)
Mitch Robinson(wise to re-sign and not trade him)
Figuring out how to get every shred of talent out of Randle and not dumping him for trash despite half this board wantimg the KNicks to do just that.
And even better, Jalen Brunson.
We have 2 legit all star caliber players here. We are a winning team. Star power. Here. It could be a lot worse.
Oh year, tons of picks still in the coffers.
We're fine.

I like this team but they really need to turn these assets they've accumulated into something. Or at least start the ball rolling with a smaller complimentary trade for better fitting pieces for Thibs system.
Wow, now where does Westbrook end up on the buyout market?
Thats a good trade for Lakers because Russel is an expiring and he can play off Lebron as a shooter
Woj actually reported it on NBA today just before Shams tweeted it
I do to
Despite what folks said yesterday, Knicks can put together a competitive package for KD: Randle/Barrett and a ton of picks. Carl - do you think the Nets would ever consider trading Durant to the Knicks?
Begely mentioned on his putback show that compensation would not be the problem..

Sorry more value in off season. I don’t see it happening.

No and he doesn't want to be here anyways.
Ham & Russ reportedly went at each other last night. I can't imagine Russ was thrilled with LBJ's lamenting to Wilbon about the LAL not getting Kyrie.

Agree. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t obsessing over the big fish type move.
We all want that, and that's what they want too. Fans get frustrated because that guy isn't really out there. OG is nice but he's not actually what you want to move planets for.
Can't make a star come available, and you don't want to fall in love with not-stars just because they're available. They're somewhat a victim of finally fixing the franchise at a time where the window for grabbing a superstar is not really open.
They were close on Mitchell but dealing with one of the hardest to deal with GMs in the league.
No one wants to hear you tried and didn't get it done but sometimes that's really it.
Wes and Randle should sit front row like the Dallas/Utah playoff game.

The Bulls and Warriors have shown interest in Cam Reddish, per
@AmicoHoops
I do think they need to be very aggressive when their target is there.
Gary Trent
Doug McDermott
Josh Richardson
My guesses

probably but it felt like that report about the Knicks being worried about his opt out was leaked on purpose

Is OG even playing tonight though. Cause if he’s still out with an injury it can’t be him they’re looking at

Yeah thats true, i dont know, is it weird a Knicks scout is there or reading to much into it?
LAL-Russell,
Utah-Westbrook and a 1 to the Jazz
Wolves-Conley
Beasley and Vanderbilt "potentially" also in the deal to LAL.
