Knicks are kind of at the point where they might simply go deep into the tax to sign everyone. The level this team has hit warrants it.

He definitely looks MLE, or whatever exception we get, worthy. He’s still young, he needs a 3 year deal with the 3rd yr being an option

ANd don't think Leon is not thinking of both with picks and trade offers being mulled. Not saying he pulls the trigger either way.

I know what you're getting at and I can kind of see the resemblance. Through Landry, anything is possible.

Also in respect to the age of our players, the good health thus far, one has to consider if this is a once in a lifetime run, and it does not deliver a chip, do we take a step back and reboot to some extent, or run it back?

If we do win it all that too brings another set of circumstances.

They'll run it back with the starting unit and make adjustments to the rest of the roster.

McCullar is ready to go full time next season. He's the best bench guard on the team not named Shamet.

Diawara will get more minutes once they sort out his contract situation.

The players whom I expect may be traded are Deuce and Mitch.

The coin flips are Clarkson and Alvarado.

But if they re-sign Shamet, and they should, our 1-8 rotation should be starters + Shamet + Diawara + McCullar. Roster from 9 to end of bench would be Kolek, Hukporti, Dadiet and whomever is left over.

Deuce is probably gone and I'm not sure they will keep Mitch. If anything, expect the focus of the FO's drafting/trades to be on PF and Center Depth.

If they don't keep Mitch, we're really going to need a backup 5. I thought Huk would step up this year, but really hasn't. Can we get a Paul Reed? Steve Adams? Both are under contract next year. Who else fits the mold?

There's always someone out there. They might sign Mitch anyway, but I am prepared to see him moved and replaced by somebody else on the cheap.

I'd really rather he just figure out his FT and stay. I don't know why it is so complicated for him. Give the shot a little arc and lots of good things might happen!

When they changed the offense to go thru KAT

It wasn't just give the ball to KAT

It was also run action off ball

Moving Brunson around…
Moving OG…
Mikal…
Josh…

They love it

They. Love. It.

So that engages them on D…

So now when they get a rebound…

They're tearing off to the other end…

Because they wanna get down there

Because they know

They're gonna be involved…

So…why does it take 90% of the season for that to happen?

IDK why…

But it happened.

Not only has it unlocked their talent

It's unlocked their chemistry…

Now you watch them play

And it's one giant party"

I mean this is all nice and good by Windy and coaches but this is just common sense over the history of basketball.

Guys play better / harder when they are involved - simple as that.

Standing in the corner watching Jalen take 10-15 seconds to find his shot isn't fun and more importantly it's difficult to get into any kind of rhythm the less you touch the ball.

We have to keep fighting the GO TO JALEN periods --- while he does/can deliver it's also dangerous for the points noted in Martin's original post.

He can't leave, he just can't!

But I don't see how he didn't just earn himself a bag. 3&D and big playoff performances.

Knicks can offer him up to $15.6mil with early bird rights. But don't know if they would be willing to do that unless they are willing to part with both Deuce & Mitch.

In these playoffs, his TS% (72.6%) and 3-point percentage (54.8%) are hyper-elite, driven by his blistering 17-for-21 stretch from deep over his last six games.
Finally a shooter I can compare to Steve Novak off the bench, only Shamet plays good defense!
Such a good feel good story is Shamet, I'm so happy for him. Enjoy the moment, young man!!!

I'm not getting tied to any 1 specific guy -- this team has the vibe that Shamet could go cold or disappear altogether next series BUT someone else will step up. Our biggest strength is our scoring coming from EVERYONE.
