Official '24-'25 knicks season thread, KAT

[keko jones]

Spida 2.0?

 

[Upptempo]

Someone I know is friends with a guy that's cool with KAT and told me he's been in NY a lot recently and is looking at homes. Hopefully not related to the Knicks but I'm def shook

 

[the 718 truth]

Sad to see Melo go but thankful for all the memories. It’s no secret that he’s my favorite player. Need that #7 in the rafters

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I’d gamble on KAT over Randle. But the idea of paying him 60m a year makes me sick.

Lose/lose

Got H20 jersey... One of my favorite Knicks after Ewing and Melo

Sigh I thought he was gonna go crazy for us. This is where the Coack K connection with the Knicks kinda blew it for us.

Rumor mill is:
Hart 4/70-75
IQ 4/80-100
And our interest in KAT based on his playoff numbers and his contract is down.

 

[Master Zik]

Knox tricked you with that fool's gold.

 

[8pm at msg]

Knox had the skill set and physical profile, he just didn’t have the mentality to be a competent NBA player

 

[sharpshooter718]

But here’s the issue with that..

Randle is Thib’s GUY man.

He’s the only player Thibs doesn’t hold accountable. Preferential Star treatment for a guy who was NEVER a star since he came to NY.

Julius is an all NBA player. How is he not a star?

Dude is mentally weak but puts up big numbers during the regular season .. he looks unguardable on certain possessions and other possessions he looks like he's not comfortable with a basketball.

Really an enigma . But to say he isn't a star is wild.

i'm ok with Hart's contract, but no thank you to IQ. i don't think another team will give him that much, so i think we should just wait and match. worst case scenario, we do a sign and trade.

 

[sharpshooter718]

I love Mitch but I think his lack of offense hurts us at times

6.5 ppg in the postseason with only dunks, put-backs or below the rim layups

if he even had like a little floater it would be helpful. i wouldn't call bam a great offensive player but the difference betweenn him and mitch on that end was massive

I really wouldn't be surprised if KAT is a Knick this summer. there's a lot of smoke and I think its a matter of time before we trade for him (not saying i would do it)

KAT is the best shooting big in the league .. he's an upgrade of Julius but Julius is a better ISO player when locked in... I think Mitch and Kat would work well cause KAT would only be a 5 occasionally... Running with Obi at times or Hartenstein ...

 

[you go boy]

Ya pass on Kats contract... But even if his contract was 30 million he's too injury prone... But he's definitely an upgrade over randle... Rather get jaylen brown instead...

 

[floodarea]

i’d take kat over randle in a heartbeat but absolutely not for that money

Miami Heat finally went back to normal.

It only took them one month and half

 

[pr0phecy718]

So you're saying Celtics in 7

So you're saying Celtics in 7

If there was ever a time an NBA team could come back from 3-0 it’s right now.

Against the 8th seed Miami Heat who have been on a very weird /miraculous run so far in the playoffs.

I don’t know who will. I don’t care.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

IQ at 80-100m is crazy. If he’s worth that, he has to be an incredible trade chip.

Agreed. That’s too much.

After the playoffs he just had he’s lost a lot of leverage IMO.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Dudes really can’t remember past the last game IQ is a starting level point guard now. Not many saw that one coming. That’s a credit to him and the Knicks development plan.

Those numbers are the new normal floor for a quality starter. Rather capitalize on his value and make room for Deuce at the same time. Several teams, contending and rebuilding alike, want to have him on their payroll.

He wants the bigger role so I think he’s gone sooner than later.

 

[you go boy]

would be embarrasing for the league to come back from down 0-3... it hasnt been done in nba history... but with gabe out anything can happen if the celtics win game 6... I actually want the celtics to lose though because Jaylen on this team would be fire

 

[pr0phecy718]

Damn, what a crazy game
