This is the first big signing I haven't gone "bruh what the **** are the Knicks doing?" before I try to rationalize it as a good move after the emotions settled down. Think Hardaway, Fournier, Noah etc...

We got a skilled guard who can create for others and himself and is about to enter his prime soon.

If nothing else, excited that the FO was able to accomplish their goal with this signing instead of shifting to the backup plan.

I hope this pans out. Still want to focus on our young core - RJ/IQ/Obi/Mitch - but this doesn't detract from that in any way. We'll just get more combo guard Quick than PG Quick.

Not comparing the two, but Brunson might be the best starting PG we've had at or near their prime since Felton. When he was in shape.

The thing is. Idk what they'd even help us with lol. Unless we moving Randle to them but I'd want some form of compensation. Suck it Mavs!

Unloading Fournier

why does everyone want to get rid of fournier? He is the only player who can penalize teams when he is left open at the 3pt line- everyone else is just guessing when they shoot.

Yup, losing Burks means we only have Grimes and Fournier who can reliably punish teams from perimeter

Knicks have like 17 second round picks. We should be tampering more

It's almost a crime that the Knicks AREN'T tampering more

Yeah if the fine is a 2nd round pick than why not ?

It seems like he made a bad 1st impression when he played through injuries and was bad. After he got healthy no one cared that he was playing up to his contract.

For me, it’s because he pushes Barrett to SF, Barrett takes the harder defensive assignments and Fournier still can’t put up reasonable defensive numbers. He is a fine 3pt shooter, but I hope for two-way players.

There is a distinct possibility that the failures of Kemba on defense impact the DPM of Fournier (and every other starter), but dFG doesn’t bail Fournier out on that theory.

You know I gonna spin wit it

I can just see the Knicks getting skewered whatever the outcome of the Brunson Campaign. If he takes the Dallas offer we will be laughed at for clearing all this cap space and once again failing to land our man. If we sign him, Cuban will boast that he deliberately made an offer to Brunson to trick the Knicks into overpaying,;

Not going to bump all my Brunson threads from early this year, but I like this a lot.
