PG: WE WON AGAINST THE WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE YES!!!

[KnicksGod]

So let me get this straight (entering the mind of one Quentin Grimes)

22-23 Season
(1) Sidelined for most of training camp
(2) I’m Mr. Untouchable
(3) Miss pre-season
(4) Injured first 6 games of regular season
(5) Replaced EF in SL vs Philly Nov 4th
(6) Averaged 30min per game in SL
(7) March 22nd-April 9 (21.9 PPG on 14 FGA)
(8) 34MPG vs Miami Games 2-6
(9) Starter for first 20 games of 23-24 Season

So I’m handed the starting role on a silver platter in 22-23, my USG ramped up at the end of last year, I get big minutes vs MIA in Round 2 and I start this year…but I’m gonna become petty and will continue to run my mouth.

This guy started talking about not getting enough touches, having to make every shot and every attempt feeling like 100 pounds. Now the issue is our fans aren’t welcoming Fournier back with open arms. But wait there’s more! Brunson would have gotten the call that Detroit didn’t get. Ironically enough this is AFTER the HOU debacle…wait for it…involving Brunson who didn’t get the call he wanted.

I agree with this. His mental seems shaky and he's kind of weird or something. But if you can fix a guy's game, you can fix his approach too. He plays defense, nice jumper form wise. Things to work with. Good athlete.

I still think the mental part is a shared burden between Thibs and him, but I can't deny that he had the starting job and regressed.

And yeah he's talking a lot. He must feel he was treated unfairly or just really doesn't like NY. I feel he has a higher ceiling than people realize though.

Even if they let MJ expire this summer, you know he'll be back a third time at some point to complete threepeato

Trade continuing to look bad so far.

I think Grimes deserved that game winner at the end more than we did.

Grimes looked like a real player in the 4th.

Well, there it is. They should stop crying.

I mentioned this before but for everyone that is saying we should wait until the team is healthy to judge the value of Bojan what do you expect to happen if everyone actually does come back healthy? I hated the trade but I was hoping Bogy would eat up minutes so we would not burn out someone like Hart. Hart is still playing 40+ minutes almost every night and Bogey is down to the low 20's already. What will happen to his minutes if OG, Randle and Mitch all come back? What happens if iHart has his minutes restriction removed? He is needed more now than he ever will be if the team is fully healthy.

We brought in a front court player on a team with a decimated front court. How can you even be sure he will have a role to play if the front court is healthy when he is not even logging big minutes on a team that desperately needs help right now?

This is what I dont get either. We talked about this yesterday in the thread about the trade.

Like did we trade for Bojan to get 15 mpg and stand in the corner? Grimes can do that, while playing much better defense. Bojan is supposed to be keeping the ship sailing NOW with all the injuries.

People talk about the playoffs and yeah Grimes didnt shoot well at all, but he still played good D. Bojan could get run off the floor in the playoffs because of how bad his defense is. The Jazz underperformed with him as Rudy couldn’t cover everyone.

Same with Alec. Posters are saying he will be benched when everyone is back, but that’s wishful thinking if Thibs pushed for him. He’s already not playing much though.

All we can say is that it’s still early, but Bojan and Alec simply dont look good. No amount of time is going to make them more athletic or better defenders. If they arent hitting shots they are worthless, so they need to start getting hot yesterday.

Whatever though. It’s over. Not every move is going to be a homerun. Leon has been good overall but has made some blunders.

Bojan was brought here to extend the Fournier contract. Like Evan, Bogs is an expiring contract that is expected to be used in the "big trade" KNICKS plan to make. His presence here is and has always been as a temporary player to be used as a trade chip. The fact he's also a sharpshooter from 3 is a bonus -- but again, only a temporary one.

I understand the value of his contract as trade filler but that is not a reason to trade Grimes too. There were other contracts available that would have cost nothing to acquire other than Fournier's expiring. Detroit had just paid to get off of Bagley's contract next year. Devonte Graham is just sitting on the bench in San Antonio collecting a check. He has a partially guaranteed contract that can be fully guaranteed next year.

I have to believe the organization thought Bojan could help immediately and in the post season. So far he has not done that. His trade value at age 35 will be simply an expiring contract.

In all honesty, the play down the stretch was physical and swallowing the whistle as the correct decision. You can't really allow one team to play physical and then call it on the other club.

The Rockets thing was flat out terrible and honestly the angle that bothers me is that the offensive player kicked his legs backwards which is what created the contact. It's supposed to be illegal to kick your legs to the side to draw contact.

If I were BKN or the Cavs and I were to be trading either Spida and/or Bridges, Grimes would be a player I would want coming back. The two picks from DET/WAS are an asset, but more of a sweetener when comparing apples with each other. Also, the two picks we have this year are both going to be on the "meh" side because the draft class is not overly spectacular so the prospect of trading for Grimes or, say pick #20 in the draft would certainly be towards Grimes who has already proven at a young age he is a formidable starting shooting guard who does not need the ball to be effective.

Jericho's development is also very good, not as good as Precious but he's coming along nicely.

Yeah from my perspective Sims is serviceable and young. I come from the Raptors where, after Gasol and Ibaka left, the team had no centers for 2 1/2 seasons. Just undersized guys like Achiuwa and Boucher, and forcing Siakam and OG to guard big centers. Until they finally got Poeltl. Sims would have been very useful on those rosters, so having him on the Knicks as #3 center (when all healthy) is pretty good.

I know the catch is the all healthy part.
