Do you have a prediction of what kind of package it would take to get one of these guys? Murray as in Jamal Murray? ::EDIT:: I just realized it is Dejounte Murray. Well, the first question stands lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 So the Knicks will probably be a better team, but it has more to do with not giving Barrett 35 minutes a game. Extremely disappointed that they're punting Quickley, whom I believe will breakout as a star, for an expiring role player. OG is a final piece for a team that's ready to compete NOW, not the Knicks.

And we could less afford mediocre shooting from Dejounte than ATL did when they traded for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal should be making moves to actually win. I don't get it. The Knicks still have their first round picks to make another move. It may not be for a superstar but can be another very good player.

Thibs refusal to ever change just cost this team a real player because he just wants Luol Deng again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're clearly not building the roster around Brunson as the superstar, so they clearly are not actually trying to win a title. In which case why did they even ******* bother stockpiling anything.

If the Knicks go for one of those guys that was mentioned in my quote, it should be Lavine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Destroy your bench, payroll flexibility and your window of a cheap Brunson so you can MAYBE be the 3 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, I'd be happy if they got prime Luol Deng Because he could actually dribble a tiny bit and pass. OG can shoot and defend and nothing else.

Like at least TRY and make a real move, even if it fails, at least you swung for it. Edited December 31, 2023 by Thelonebillsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
