That’s lazy roster building. If Lebron is coming, and you want him, you should be prepared to make hard choices at the forward spot, not shifting OG to SG.

I suspect you know which player needs to be moved too in that case.

If the Knicks get past the 76ers, which they won't, but if so, the Pacers would run them out of the gym. Knicks have like 1.5 scorers, the Pacers have about 7.

At the same time they have no real scoring threat :lol:

Nah Buzz, that Pacers team is awful defensively so you'd see our guys playing better on offense. Against them I'd expect OG and especially Donte to have good series. They can't rebound either, this Sixers team is much better and more balanced all around, even with a hobbled Embiid. Any team that gives up 115 to a team missing their top two players can't be seen as a threat.

I'm in 2k mode right now.... I will have a better thought process after the playoffs. I don't see Lebron ever signing an MLE and the last thing they want to call him is a ring chaser for doing that.

Of course they're gonna say that. I'm not buying.

They'd be insane to run it back. That said, they are being advised by Isiah so who knows.

In other news... game 6 is a must win for the Pacers -- supposedly both Dame & Giannis are due back. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. Exactly what the NBA wanted

The Suns organization may very well want to run it back with all 3. It's more of a question if the famously loyal 36 year old Kevin Durant would like to run it back with a team with limited avenues to improve, and who got thoroughly beat down by a team who isn't getting worse any time soon in the same conference? :lol:

Is there any possible for Lebron Curry Durant to get on the same team. B/C that might be the only way they get out of the West moving forward

Booker, Bridges, Mitchell and Towns all get moved in the same mega 4 team trade. None wind up on the Knicks

my turn - your turn does not work in the nba playoffs.


hasn't for phoenix for 2 years
hasnt for the cavs for 2 years
hasn't for the clippers for 2+ years
wont for the mavericks this year.


we already have elite 3+D wings on the team that do multiple things.


the best way to upgrade the team is to upgrade our bigs so that brunson has more options for exploiting mismatches in the pnr.


this means,'



upgrading randle for kat.

or

randle for durant.

or

upgrading ihart/mitch


NOT another wing that does not directly improve Brunson's game.

Hmm PG13 both eyed by the Magic and Sixers. Brandon Ingram might be on the move too. Trae Young maybe. Lebron James might not re-sign...this could be a very interesting offseason.

Return to New York Knicks
