More important than giving the youth playing time?

Gibson is taking nobodies minutes. Fournier would’ve been the ideal move tbh but I can understand why they moved Burks instead.

The Future is Bright!

I liked Burks and Taj a lot but who gets more minutes when they’re gone? Probably Grimes and Obi for starters.

There's gonna be some hurt in my heart if Gibson passes out an offensive board to KP for a three. Good for Taj if he still has some gas left in the tank.

Taj Gibson was the ultimate professional but with Taj Gibson long gone,

It'll give our homegrown Jericho Sims a much larger role.

And I'm excited for that.

Another BIG Knicks LOSS .. Taj Gibson Player/Coach/Leader from Fort Greene Projects in Brooklyn have been waived.

The tandem of Taj Gibson & D.Rose experience and leadership on the Knicks roster has been ten times more rewarding towards the Knicks young-core players NBA growth of improvement than any of the Knicks coaching staffs. Taj were the best front court mentor to have around F/C Sims the next two seasons.
To get rid of one of the two true Leadership players on the roster means ..
The rebuilding of the Knicks to be a winner stopped at 37 win season.

No! Isaiah Hartenstein can't replace Taj Gibson ..
It's the same as Fournier replacing Bullocks.
Or Kemba replacing Payton's defense.
The next NBA team (Wizards) know how value Taj Gibson presence are on a NBA team.

Ihart gets that duel center PF time. Its an upgrade on the court.
Glad he can go were he can maybe play. We upgraded. Progress can be painful.

This also opens up some time for OBI. Lets be real, It was not aways about randle, Taj got time because Thibs trusted him and he was solid. Now its time for Obi to get some of those. Minutes.
