But he seems well-qualified for someone looking for a hot take.

[lesterluv]

Randle did have defensive lapses and miscues.
But I'm sure that isn't due to averaging 48.5 minutes per game ...

lol..

Randle has played far better defense this season with fewer lapses and miscues than ever before in his career.

Randle has played far more minutes this season than ever before in his career.

the only logical follow if you want to connect the two: Let's give him more minutes!

** first "heh" i'm 100% behind in awhile...that CP3 stuff is right up there with Lowry had a bad finals against the Warriors!

*** Yang is a fake Knick fan and a general all around fraud, please someone beat him, anyone...

Sad to see the streak end, Happy to see the good hoops continue

Just lost to Sacto.

KP didn’t play AGAIN.

Worthless Prima Donna. F’im!

And good for us 😊

PS. Les, you’re a relentless pit bull. Bad doggie 🐶

As a bench player here he might be seeking a bigger role and more money elsewhere.   That's the only reason.  And rather than match any offer I want to make sure we can retain guys like Bullock and Rose who in my opinion are less easy to replace with their skillset.   

When you rank bench contributors to winning I think Rose, Noel, even IQ have been every bit as important as Burks if not more so.   So how much do you pay your 8th  most valuable guy?

This the kind of amnesia a winning streak brings? He's been tremendous. Done everything. Won several games for us when everyone else was anemic on offense. He's clutch and can get his shot off over anyone. And he's done these things consistently this year. A guy like this coming off the bench is a godsend. Way too soon to talk of that bubble shit.

Rank your Knicks

Is burks more valuable than Rose?
Is burks more valuable than Noel?
Is burks more valuable than Starter Bullock?

Will Burks himself seek a bigger role?


Bubble guy

[bodiddley]

Rose is a better 2-way player than Burks and has PG chops.
Burks a scorer, decent on ball defender, but poor team defender.

I think the issue is whether IQ can take over the Burks role full-time.
Maybe not next year, may be so.

Also, are we going to bring in a legit starting PG, say ZoBall.
If not, Rose isn't exactly Mr. Durable.
If Elf is excised, can you count on Rose starting and not breaking down?  Can you count on Quix as backup PG and Burk-style sparkplug.

Guess all I'm saying is that Burks role depends on Quickly's role and much of that depends on who our starting PG is.

[facilitatorn]

If there’s a reasonable way to keep Burks, we should. People here underrate his defense even while the recognize that his ball handling and shot making help our offense in ways Reggie cannot.

100%

Of impending FAs, we should look to keep Rose, Burks, Bullock, Taj, Noel, Kevin, and Frank. I’d only knock someone off this list if and only if we’ve locked in a clear upgrade.

[bodiddley]

Nice article on Quickly (& his mom):
https://theundefeated.com/features/knicks-rookie-immanuel-quickley-thriving-in-new-york/

That Nitrease Quickley coached her son’s rec league team was no surprise to anyone who knew her credentials.

As a 6-foot forward at Havre de Grace High School, she was a local legend, averaging 14 points and 14 rebounds as a sophomore while leading her team to the state final four. Those skills earned her a Division I scholarship at Morgan State University, where she averaged 10 points in two seasons at the Baltimore HBCU.

With you

I re-sign all three - and then think about Gibson

Not a penny more to Frank or Knox or Harper or Pinson.

[kidcarter8]

The key here is which of the four (include Noel) do NOT ACCEPT another one year deal?  As Knicks try to take things back to 40's and 50's MLB with the year at a time M.O.

[facilitatorn]

Lock em all into 2, 3, or 4 year deals.

[Kam]

Lock em all into 2, 3, or 4 year deals.

Nice thought.  Do we ever want to add free agent talent?  There is a salary cap.   

[facilitatorn]

I think we could still do both and stay pretty close to the cap which most teams operate over anyway, though I don’t see that many guys coming available who I’d want to throw a hefty bag at.

Gonzo Ball might be the best bet and he isn’t worth much more than Bledsoe money which is more than I’d say Bledsoe himself is worth.

Remember, our rooks will be cheap this year.

Mitch Pelle
Randle Toppin
Knox
RJ Quickley

Are all team controlled. Adding Noah brings it to 50 mil. That leaves us 8 spots and about 68 mil to sign guys.

Have you assessed the UFA free agents for 2021?

Slim pickings.

PS: DIDNT WE Add FREE Agents THIS PAST YEAR?

I MUST HAVE DOZED OFF?

2,3,4 year deals go past 2021.  We want to have the ability to sign guys when it is our turn.
