Jalen Brunson @ 26 years old and Julius Randle @ 28 years old are both the (perfect) veteran leaders @ PG/PF that'll continue to lead these kids into NBA emergence (and I'm just anxious to see which one's develop into and become NBA All-Star talents (moving forward

All of that to say this...

I think that our NY Knicks future could currently be brighter, than ever before.

I don't even want to entertain the idea of trading away Immanuel Quickley because I hope he's here long-term in Orange and Blue.

He's absolutely fearless which is what I appreciate about him the most and you're right about his DEFENSE; He's becoming a pesky/scrapped Defender and it's been fun to watch.

With his 2-way ability I think his talent is being viewed greater around the league and the Knicks better lock him up this summer to continue developing. The comp isn’t perfect but can’t rule out him becoming a VanVleet level combo guard eventually. FVV was 24 years old his 3rd year and coming off the bench and his numbers were very similar to Quickley now.

I would consider starting Quickly at SG for now until Grimes stabilizes he shooting.

Grimes is still shooting better than Quickley at 3. I think IQ needs to stay on the bench unless more moves are made to bolster the reserves.

That's true, but IQ's drives collapses the defense, gives defenders more of a headache. At this point in their careers, IQ has more in the toolbox to go against starting SGs, and the defense doesnt suffer.

Would love to see Grimes at PG and IQ at SG for a quarter. Have to give Thibs credit for sticking with IQ at PG. But he's a better bucket getter than Grimes right now.

Grimes is showing that maybe he's ready for the same opportunity that Thibs gave Quick to run the offense.

In the meantime, it gives Quickley a chance to push the envelope as a scorer.

That line up looks like a lot of lottery balls in the Wembanyama sweepstakes. It's amazing how bad we would be if we didn't have Randle or Brunson.

show me some good NBA teams without their 2 best players.... what sense does this make?

It’s just kind of an epiphany how fragile the ecosystem of a team is. We are 2 FA signings removed from a legitimate tank. We also could be 1 trade or FA signing away from being a contender. We are sort of at the tipping point…..that and I just wanted to bust mentality’s balls

That’s exactly the blueprint. Nail draft picks and acquire mid-tier free agents who can develop here. Who will our Rasheed Wallace be in 1-2 years? Trey? Kawahi?

Miles McBride has been one of the league’s least-efficient scorers since he became a regular almost two months ago. The Knicks like McBride for the long haul. As The Athletic reported last week, league sources say they’ve decisively turned down inquiries from other teams about him. But they could use a little more oomph. Maybe there’s a bench guard on the cheap to give them some vigor.

If we stuck with Frank for 4 years. He is 24 years old. LOL
I'll go with the coaches and FO see something in Deuce that warrants continued opportunity. He was a prospect coming out of college and that he is in the rotation in year two says a lot.
Like most years im not expecting much come trade deadline but a tweek.

So wrong at many levels. The mayonnaise eyes, the wee little dish,, the “Safe chicken” lable, but the chicken graphic looks like it could kick some ass, but the “free home delivery” phone number might be tops.
This british or canadian?
