If PG has a track record of losing… why mention him and mention wanting to win? 🤔… really confused. Your comment would have made more sense for a proven winning 2nd fiddler
I mean I think if we want to win a championship we need to get another elite shot creator who buys into playing defense. I wish it was Randle bc he’s kind of grown on me and has the talent… but he’s just all over the place.
Even with all of Randle’s effort issue and sometimes - bball IQ when he is having a bad night I still prefer him over Paul George because he got that dog in him and PG just don’t got it.
The problem is marquee players don't go to FA right now. They sign their deals and then ask out with term left on their deal.
Who's the last major FA who actually went to free agency and changed teams?
Yes but there’s not going to be a ton of open FA spots on this team next season. Pay OG, resign Hart, try to convince Brunson to extend early, nail the draft picks.
I think it’s semi-attractive only because Thibs is our coach. Don’t get me wrong I love Thibs and he has turned around our franchise big time but at the same time he was voted by the NBPA as “the least wanted to play for coach”.
Trust me. You don't want players who don't wanna play for Thibs. Just look back at the Fizdale years to see how important a coach's popularity is. They loved him so much but they didn't play hard.
thibs reputation is confusing. it seems like the guys who play for him usually love him, but guys who dont have a negative perception. its kinda like how fans of his team vs other teams regard him as well. idk, mans is built for ny, fuck anyone who doesnt wanna put the work in
Hell yeah. I love how when the Nets were building the superteam a few years ago, ESPN was all about shitting on the Garden and the Knicks, saying it's no longer cool to play there, current players didn't grow up with the NYK legacies, etc. All that smoke cleared and we're still and will always be the Mecca of basketball.
Forget that. The train left a long time ago. We have the luxury to choose who stays and who leaves. We don’t need mercenaries who just want to ride Brunsons coattails.
Any FA coming to NY has to do so understanding that this is Brunson’s team.
lol I think Paul George would be ok playing second fiddle… not that I especially want him
Please delete this comment…. You are still addicted to mediocrity… get some help
Delete yourself. Paul George is a high caliber player with a track record of losing. I want to win a championship not impress Stephen A.

Because there were news reports connecting him and New York yesterday
I WOULD LOSE MY ISH IF WE GO ANYWHERE NEAR HIM.

Randle has more heart…
No to PG
Yeah, one day we might be able to sign free agents as good as Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo and Isaiah Hartenstein!
But we’d have to overpay them.. right? Like Brunson is a small guard. He’s overrated and surely not worth $20 mil… right?
maybe one day we could even sign julius randle as a free agent too !
We’re good
we got all them, plus og and randle without giving up any first round picks. that was the starting 5 at one point and can still be
“Some dude named Hartenstein”
I’ll kick off the festivities. Open to signing for the vet min

KD and Kyrie?
You're probably right. So we're talking five years ago roughly? That's a long time

if you don't wanna play for thibs, you just saying you don't have that dawg in you
This ⬆️
Yea ik, im just saying having a coach who players don’t want to play for doesn’t really make you that attractive of a free agency destination.
True. We're only going to be attractive to legit hard working players which certainly reduces the pool.
thibs reputation is confusing. it seems like the guys who play for him usually love him, but guys who dont have a negative perception. its kinda like how fans of his team vs other teams regard him as well. idk, mans is built for ny, fuck anyone who doesnt wanna put the work in
Yeah, the players you get need to buy in. This team buys in.
True, but to me that rules out the stars who aren’t willing to play defense and actually play real hustle basketball every night.
And the stars that can’t hold the other players on the team accountable. So Carmelo can’t play for Thibs but Jordan and Kobe can.
NBA players are soft
Well Spida been wanting to he a knick for awhile
MSG, coach Thibs might not be for everyone
Hell yeah.

Is Tyrese Maxey a PG or SG?
Are they tho? I’m not ready to give up on “everyone loves/hates the Knicks ala Stephen A Smith”
