what we can get this summer using the picks (and maybe the Dallas pick if it conveys) for RJ and the Rose/Fournier contracts. And I'm not against moving Mitch in the right deal. RJ/Mitch and stuff for LaVine?
If they can't swing a big trade, all they gotta do is extend IQ and Hart and continue to make incremental improvement where you can. I'd even look to extend iHart if he's willing.
I wouldn't trade Mitch unless the deal was absurdly favoring the Knicks. As far as Hart goes, he wants NYC and NYC wants him so I'm sure they'll lock him up long term. The Knicks aren't going to let him go. He's pivotal in the defense and a motivator for the other players on the team to go all out, all the time, every minute and every second. Like to see a little of that attitude rub off on RJ.
the win. Love this season overall. Yes there were times Thibs made decisions and the players did that had me screaming at my TV but it is what it is. The playoffs are going to be interesting to say the least. Do we have what it takes to get to round 2? Most importantly do RJ and Julius show up or do they lay another egg? We'll see
or their pick isn't going to convey. I really think the Knicks need to bank a rookie or two for depth in the pipeline and having the 11th pick in the draft is just what the doctor ordered.
I watch every game and it’s so sad I’m so excited to watch the Knicks w/o Julius
This.
I like Julius more than most. He wants so badly to The Man that he forces the issue and winds up hurting the team, especially at the end of games.
In the NBA so many games are decided at the end that Julius is a real liability. Also, Thibs is scared of him, making the situation even worse.
I really hope the Knicks look to move him this summer. His value will never be higher. And he would be a good addition to a team that is a player away.

I'm similar to this except I am not a fan of Randle but I can admit when he is playing wel. He has been unreal this year offensively. My issues with him are his effort on D and I feel he is a mental midget. Letting other players or refs get in his head and now even teammates just shows why nobody should trust him when the game is on the line. To summarize, I just don't see him as a winning player.
on Randle after last season due to his various on court antics. I started to come around on him this year but ironically it was the two huge wins vs. Miami and Boston where I pretty much decided he can't be trusted. In both games he botched multiple possessions down the stretch. Even on his game winning three pointer vs. Miami he nearly lost the ball TWICE on that possession. Brunson and IQ should be the main options at the end of games.
He's crazy productive and can be a real beast. But smart defenders know how to frustrate him.
He can flat out take over games with Brunson finishing it, sprinkle in the bench in between and that has been the recipe for the Knicks most of the season..
When Randle is by himself, unless he is absolutely scorching, the offense is not going to look good, its going to be 1 on 1 and if double comes find the open man, thats the offense..
When Randle is out, of course their is more ball mpvement, defense is more intense, and they are going to run more because they have to, thats their recipe without randle..
No doubt Brunson is the most important player on this team he is the engine and the closer, Randle is number 2 though, Randle and Brunson take pressure off of each other..

Hard to believe that three Ironmen like that would all be missing the game

Maybe it’s just me but it sure does seem like RJ gets sick an awful lot
Ugggg
