Looks like he finally found his game - see a little bit of Giannis in him... long, can go coast to coast and decent outside shooter. Still very raw but his contract expires this off-season. May be worth looking into if the Knicks pass on making a run at Brandon Ingram... Unsure what he would cost - anybody have an idea?

If we could pair him with a vet (Gallinari), move Randle to the bench (or trade if possible) and find a starting caliber PG we'd be looking good for next season.

Sign a shooting 4 (Gallinari) and send Randle to the bench (as others have suggested). Christian Wood could be a good 3/4 as he shoots well outside and seems to have really improved. His length, current contract and age suggest he may be a good value pickup...

We signed Miles Plumlee to a 3-4 year contract instead of Wood. The only way you can check a prospect is to look back 3-5 years especially 2 rounders. It’s going to cost well over 10 mm to sign woods/- think about what we gave Portis Gibson et al. If u look at the Pistons. How do they not pay a 6-11 athletic F who plays both sides and can hit 3s

5 seasons and played 112 games in the NBA. 61 this season on a really bad Detroit team.
We never had Miles plum, we had the “War”, the youngest. I don’t think it was a 3-4 year deal. He came and went via Gleague.
Wood has been a Gleague player mostly and the timeline of when you would have signed him he was not very good.
He has had some “Breakout” game perhaps???
Grass is always greener. We’d have run him out by now easy.

Yeah i'm on the Gallinari train. He's older and injury prone, but that guy is a winner. And the knock down shooter we need in the lineup next to Barrett and Mitch.

If you add him and Morris you mind as well trade knox..

I think this has been said before, multiple times over: Dude is literally bat-**** crazy. Locker room killer.

Sign at your own risk.

Reason why he won't stick with a team.

At this point I wouldn't add Morris. I was a fan of keeping Morris if we moved Randle, but since he's been gone the Knicks haven't really struggled as much as I thought. Barrett is stepping up in his place. But i'll sign Gallinari and the other forward spot is there for Knox if he eventually steps up and grabs it.

I like that Knox is getting more time. Blocking shots and rebounding, steel here or there too!!
We have seen the shots fall. That comes back. His moves to the rim are stronger. It will occur.
Phuch Gallo and Morris and what guys 30 have done. Not easy is getting guys before they do it.
In the moment is what is knox doing over smaller increments. I see him as more active. Turnovers are part of it.
He is trying new things. Sometimes he over thinks it and spazz's out. Other its jut there.

The cross over and dipsy do by frank. Dude is finally getting it out of his head and just letting loose.
Gets the rebound, steps back and hits the three. Don't think. Just do.
THese young guys can play. They lack the confidence but also need the reps.

Who we got next? the Wiz? Who on the wiz can we froth over?

we are 5-8 without morris, and we could easily be 10-3 with him.

Good player on bad team is at best OK with good.
Morris is 3-point specialist with some ISO game in mid-range.
Good role player for contender.
Zero use for rebuilding team as Knicks.

In NBA you can get scores of players like Wood at any time you want.
What will be his value and purpose on current Knicks roster?

The point would have been his age, length, two-way player and recent upswing could have possibly translated to picking up a nice find. Athletically he can do some things that few can... that said, I knew nothing about his mental makeup and if he's terrible in the locker room - then it's an easy pass. I thought he wasn't sticking b/c of inconsistency. Per others, I was wrong.

why have high character veterans with a solid work ethic around our youngs...they just take minutes away from then

How stupid was it for the Spurs to not tarde David robinson once they drafted Tim duncan, all it did was take away minutes from Duncan, or trade Avery once the grabbed parker.

And Kobe's development was hurt by the signing of eddie jones and the other 6 veterans they signed in his 2nd season.

Love the way Knox has been so good since Morris departure, he's killing it

Robinson was generational player.
Knicks did same thing as Lakers but where is our Kobe?
Vet presence like Gibson or Lance Tomas is good but giving 15-20 mils per contract for this "presence" is dumb.
Knox development has nothing to do with Morris. He has his own issues to overcome.
