Quentin Grimes
Cam Reddish

I don’t know enough about McBride or Sims but there both minimal contracts

Everything else I’d try to use to rebuild a core around these two. Need to find a quality pg wing players who can handle and preferably bigger players. Randle is a potential disaster area. I’m on the fence with obi as I think him and Quickley can be used as trade fillers and we can look elsewhere.

BRIGGS, you funny man. Last year you were so happy to spot Jericho and wanted the Knicks to draft him in the first round, made a whole thread about. 6 months later, don't know enough about Sims

He’s a good prospect — I’m down with him longer term. I would just like to see him play more.

I would def add McBride to this list and give Toppin one more year to show progress... but I agree with this list.

He’s a ball handling athletic 6-8 wing who can shoot. We just used a 1 on him

his last team let him go before they had to extend him. that should be a bit of concern. is he going to have injury problems that extend out as well. does he really fit or is he going to fuss cuz he isnt getting as much usage as he wants (if you buy some of why he wanted out of atl)?

I think this has been stated before but I'll recap: Cam is a high potential, high ceiling player who has not put things together. Inconsistent. Also, played behind guys who play his same wing role: Huerter, Hunter, Gallo, Bogi. They have another low cost guy who has been getting minutes: Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, I don't know any about that dude.

Atlanta extended Huerter last year and made decision to favor extending Hunter over Cam.

Cam had let Atlanta know he wanted out last offseason, and they stupidly didn't move him and then decided to also not prioritize him this season so his value dropped.

Cam's trade value further dropped because he wants an extension.

Atlanta FO handled his situation poorly and now he is a Knicks player.

Knicks don't really have a SF or a wing player who can consistently beat his man off the dribble and that last part is vital. He does have Paul George lite vibes IF he can put it together. He has a year to prove that.

A guy like Steph Curry also had injury issues and durability questions in his first years and was almost traded. Not all injuries are alike.

he seems to have bad shot selection, wants to be more involved than maybe he will be in ny, unsure on his health, and pending $. would be interesting to see when he can play this season and how it goes.

The team needs changes, but it is not time to blow everything up. Have patience. A trade deal will eventually come. We have plenty of assets. We just have to wait for the right deal.

Cam’s biggest issue appears to be he thinks he is better than he is. Hopefully Thibbs can bring him back to Earth and he learns to focus on improving his fundamentals and defense. He has the potential to grow into a solid player but he has a lot of work to do before he gets there and I don’t know if realizes that or not.

Sorry but not mentioning quickley is crazy. Even if he ends up with no true position and caps out as a 6th man. He has a unique ability in that every 3 he makes is a momentum shot. If he hits a 3 in the garden it erupts. If he hits one someplace else it silences the crowd. He hits more game-changing shots than anyone we have had. Not to mention his defense. He can be this generations John starks.

He’s not John starks. He’s an undersized sg with very little explosion. Moxy drive determination guys yes// but will remain drastically inconsistent

Keeping Cam Reddish is a bit premature, let’s see him play first.

It’s easy to say that when he’s had a few bad games. It’s a ‘what have you done for me lately’ world and this forum reflects that. There’s been plenty of stretches here that you have viewed him as an absolute keeper.

Guys I’d keep
