The Knicks would trade him, Randle, Hart, DiVincenzo, OG, and every single draft pick they have for Jokic. Jokic is the best player, it's not remotely close, and people need to stop making threads like this.

Best player in the east tho.


I'd put Giannis, Embiid, and Tatum easily above him in the East.


Understandable position, I disagree with it though...at least wrt the latter two; I'd still take a healthy Giannis over Jalen.


With the combination of the Knicks holding a series lead, Embiid's continual health issues, and his antics in this series, I could be persuaded that he's got enough downside that Brunson could be more valuable to a team. But Tatum is a beast. I think it's weird that he doesn't get recognized more. It's entirely possible that I'm not paying close enough attention. I do tend to focus more on the West.

He deserves every flower today
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the playoffs without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

I totally get the Tatum love, but I just trust Jalen in big moments in a way I don't Tatum. Both to come through as an individual and as a team leader.

Well, I really hope they play each other this playoffs. It'll be fun to watch and a solid measuring stick for both players. Also, that means I don't have to watch Embiid and his BS.

If we weren't banged up I think we could really take it them. But with Randle hurt, I'm not sure we have the creation to keep up with them over 7 unless we just shoot a lot better than they do or they completely crumble mentally.

Like with Precious as a small ball 5 if KP's shooting negates RobinHart's rim protection, and all of our perimeter defenders, we have defensive counters to everything their offense can do if we bring our A-game and can throw them off of theirs...but that's still a lot of offensive firepower on the other side of the court and even limited they'll put points on the board...

Should be a fun series...if we get there...but one we'll probably ultimately fall short in.

I could definitely see them going to the finals tbh. Celtics will struggle to contain their rebounding and OG is going to be a menace defensively. The only thing that I could see benefitting the Celtics is Holiday will make Brunson work very hard on offense.


I think the Knicks certainly have a chance.

LOL, no, they wouldn’t. If you trade that haul for any player (with the exception of MAYBE prime
Lebron), you’re basically becoming a borderline lottery team at best.

You don't trade for Jokic unless you're rebuilding. Especially not when u have a SUPERSTAR of your own in Brunson and already a great young team surrounding him + picks to improve.

And no you're not trading that much it doesn't matter how great Jokic is, it doesn't make sense whatsoever

Better to leave when you can’t refute lol


Do Knicks fans realize they are playing a Retirement Home Starter lineup with a one legged Embiid that is literally tweaking?

We realize douchebags will come here and try to discredit the wins because that’s what douchebags do.
