![]() I understand when an NBA player talks its often what we want to hear. “Want to win, want to finish my career here, itching to play....”

![]() From Macri:
https://knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/king-me According to a league source with knowledge of the Knicks thinking, some members of New York’s front office are “all in” on VanVleet as a free agent target, feeling that he is the best available player on the market. Despite speculation that the front office is not looking to add any long term money to the books, the source said they are planning on being involved in the sweepstakes for the combo guard this October. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Think Knicks Daily also said we were looking to keep assets for moving up in the 2021 draft (which makes a lot of sense), so maybe the plan is the 2021 draft after all. |

I think thibs gets us 32 wins in first year and that depends who on the roster but days of tanking are over see draft lottery they don't award tanking of any kind anymore unless you have a warriors type of situation. |

Even if they sign VanVleet to a big contract and extend Mitch, the only other players they are married to are RJ, and the picks used this upcoming draft, leaving plenty of space going forward. |

Wigging and Parker were supposed to be franchise altering players coming out of high school. 2017 was supposed to be loaded at the top. 2018 wasn't viewed as strong, and it's an incredible class. And last year Barrett was viewed as the top player a year before the draft, with no obvious franchise players. Then Zion and Ja really came into their own. I definitely don't really pay attention to that anymore. |
