And while watching those YouTube Highlights I don't even see 10% of Obi Toppin's athleticism. My biggest red flag is how many different teams he's already been on (Denver/Minnesota/Utah) and would make a 4th team if becoming a Knick (meaning that 3 different coaching staffs have already quit on him). Call me biased because for one I really love Obi Toppin's energy and athleticism + improved 3PT shooting off the bench and had my hopes on OG Anunoby. But then again I can already tell you know a lot more about this guy than I do; so I'll have to take your word on this one. |

The dude is a nutcase with a history of causing problems on his team and personal life. But I might be able to overlook that. But I can't overlook his defense. It's bad. Maybe not Fournier bad, but that's a low bar. 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.

Would that blazers do Su, Simms, Reddish for Josh Hart? He’s
Exactly what we need on the second unit and you’re not giving up much. Simms isn’t young, I like his upside but they hold their assets. |

It's been four years and the Knicks FO are still looking for NBA players that could co-exist on offense/defense alongside the 36 minute Ball-Stoppers Randle & RJ Barrett.
Giving the two players the Green Light on offense for Four seasons and a row, plus above 36 minutes per game, and the two players one on one performance has not change since coach Fiz, plus they have NO team-ball talent with their teammates on either side of the court. |

Not a prediction but 2 guys I keep going back to that I like for this team. Saddiq Bey is a great option due to his age and proven shooting/ scoring ability. For those who were intrigued by Reddish, Bey offers a more proven skill set and still some good upside to tap into. He can play both 3 and 4 so he can be used in different ways. He can range from just a spot up shooting role, to a more expanded role if the Knicks move on from Toppin eventually.
The other guy is Alex Caruso. He is such a seamless fit because he replaces Deuce in the rotation as a big upgrade in the same role. Top tier defense, spot up shooting and connective playmaking. Just a perfect system fit and floor raiser. You can put IQ, Caruso and Grimes on the floor and be the best perimeter defensive team in the league during those minutes. Either Bey or Caruso I’d gladly give up a protected first round pick. |

Games like the Clippers make me think that going all in on trading for OG might be worth the gamble. This knicks team stuggles with defending long wing players. Maybe if we have OG the knicks can somehow keep these long opposing wings in check.

Maybe if we have OG the knicks can somehow keep these long opposing wings in check. How about draft jalen Wilson? He’s 6-8 225 and won’t cost us 3 years of payments. I’d rather draft a high quality center and wing. Salary controlled for 5 years. It will cost 5 drafts to pick up OG. I’d rather get Bey for a moderate cost and keep our picks RIP Crushalot😞
