I mean I like him but let's be real here. Good roll players ain't gonna get it done against the likes of Heat. We need our superstars to deliver.

Our role players shrank against the heat while there’s shined bright. It’s why we lost. You should check out their averages during that series.

I love this signing for the Knicks. Donte is a versatile player who can play PG-SF if you need him to. Plays tough with a high motor. His IQ on both ends of the court makes players around him better. One of the best perimeter extra passers in the league. Can knock the 3 down with range and has a great handle to get to the basket and finish. One of those guys that just finds a way to be in the right place at the right time.

Knicks will be able to play him with anyone in their backcourt without a problem. IQ, Donte and Hart will be a transition nightmare for teams off the bench and good luck scoring or rebounding with them hitting the boards. Donte D is essentially everything we hope Grimes can be as he develops. They will be interchangeable with each other.

So is Grimes going to the bench?

Ideally RJ would be benched, DD and Grimes shooting would open things up more for Brunson and Randle. RJ can back up both forward spots.

No, it was 3-2 and a very competitive game 6 and JR and RJ played like roll players.

it took boston some losses before they woke up and evened the series against MIA but b4 that, the knicks gave the heat the most competitive fights...plus we did not lose to them in large margins

He has some interesting skills that I am unsure Thibs would utilize, like never using iHart as a passer

Donte, Hart, Mitch all gonna be attacking the offensive glass like dogs lol

Neither one of those guys are forwards, we literally only have one small forward sized player on the entire team and he's on the smaller side for a 3.

Exactly my point.. we were most competitive against Heat and our 2nd and 3rd best guys were playing like garbage.

I like the move if RJ is on his way out, otherwise they’re just recreating Brunson’s college experience.

Knicks could have asked for Jordan Nwora back or something though, in that Obi trade.

Donte is fantastic defensively. I miss watching him on that end for the Bucks.

Nice! Seems he’s kinda like Alex Caruso. Not quite as good on D (close though) but a little better on offense and the boards. More about his intangibles than raw numbers. I’ll take that all day.

Donte is going to get a real chance to grab the starting SG spot. Im sure they sold him on that. Grimes better come correct in the fall if he wants to hold onto it. Donte didnt sign here to play 15 mpg, so hes either playing a solid 25+ off the bench or starting.
