So back to our existential dilemma. Not looking back. Looking forward. I still don't grasp the justification for keeping Reddish on the bench.
When you have a good NBA team not gifted with a superstar, I always figured your depth is an ASSET.
With Thibs this year, it somehow has become a liability.
And it has made trade prospects absurd. If you trade Reddish, who are we getting with more skills and potential than he has? And where will they play? In short what are the Knicks looking for?
I have no idea.
And even if you (somehow) get a star-like ballplayer like Zach Levine, who I like a lot, where exactly would he go? If he doesn't replace RJ, would he play alongside RJ, bouncing Grimes to the 2nd team squad? That's not something I'd support. I want Grimes starting.
That dude is our best chance in a long, long time for a homegrown NY Knicks star.
In short, why do we need a trade again? Who's out there who will really help us?
I just wish Thibs could more shrewdly use the guys that we have right now.
