Official '24-'25 knicks season thread, KAT

[keko jones]

This article is full of nonsense. He was motivated by the money; if he truly believed in the vision and wanted to be part of the movement, he would have taken less. But he's here and I'm all in.

Run it back. With Randle healthy, we’re a legit favorite.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Up next;

iHart puts the team 1st and takes the max they can offer OR signs a 1 year to bet on himself for a bigger deal next summer w/ the Knicks.

Run it back. With Randle healthy, we’re a legit favorite.

although i've been critical of Randle for years, if we move him we're extremely thin on bigs. we can't start the younger Toppin and Mitch.

 

[Coupé It]

65 games of OG I’m fine with. Just as long as he’s there for the playoffs. That’s all that matters

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Just need defense and open 3s from OG, that should age well.

 

[nick.]

This is a strong draft for bigs.

Wonder if the FO ends up keeping Randle, letting Hartenstein walk, put Mitch back in the starting lineup, & take some swings on a backup big.

 

[Manny Fernandez718]

Our wings are set

Lets see what we do with Randle

What do you think they can get for him ?

 

[Mister Meaner]

The OG total number is gonna be significantly less impressive by year 5 of it. Already looking and it’s making sense. Maybe even a very lil team payroll friendly discount. Homie is clearly vitally important to NY’s success. Homie also clearly cannot be trusted to a supermax. He’s right in the middle on that imaginary scale w/ the 9-figure bench player on the way soon.

 

[nick.]

Brunson
Bridges
OG
Randle
Mitch

McBride
Donte
Hart
Rookie big

 

[アミーゴ]

The vision is set

Let’s execute now baybeeeee

 

[big j 33]

I think you have to let the team play out with Randle. If it's not working, we can make a move towards the deadline. Draft a big or two and call it an offseason.

Happy to have OG back. I was never doubting it when we made the trade for him.

 

[ballinsam23]

Its very hard to trade a player of Randle's caliber at the deadline.

Its clear he's not resigning here so I do wonder if the plan is to see if this team gels before trading him.

 

[you go boy]

hope we keep the team intact including resigning ihart... but if someone had to go he would be my pick...but im hyped we resigned og and yes its an overpay on paper but hes more valuable to this team compared to any other team who couldve signed him... his injury literally cost us the ecf which is not his fault...I'm hoping we finally draft a backup 4 to Julius and either another wing or center... the biggest question going into the playoffs is health... if we are 100% healthy the whole team I like our chances...

 

[Coupé It]

Get rid of Randle now while his value is the highest it’s ever been.

Brunson
Donte
Mikel
OG
iHart

 

[アミーゴ]

His value was highest coming off an All NBA second or third team season, not an injury

 

[masagipatron]

Hoping everyone stays healthy. Shoutout to OG, bag secured. The sucias are going to be hunting him down like never before now.

 

[keko jones]

Zach Edey incoming?

Let iHart walk?

 

[redd spyder]

Nah keep Randle. He makes it easier for everybody on the court because they’re always shading him and prior to his injury, he is becoming a more willing passer

 

[アミーゴ]

Zach Edey incoming?

Let iHart walk?

No chance he makes it there - lol there you go at 9

 

[Mister Meaner]

I’ll take someone like Dunn and stash him in the g-league.

Gonna be tuff for anyone NOT at max contract level to get into this rotation now. And it’s gonna be impossible for a rookie to see the court anytime soon now.

New CBA gonna make those rookie contracts even more valuable going forward.

 

[ny mavurs]

Looks like we got a sniper

 

[8pm at msg]

I'm gonna assume he's probably going right back to Europe or the G-League to continue developing.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Send him to the G League.

 

[you go boy]

we got frank back
