****ing yellow dumbass.

Brunson has been fantastic. 26 year old building block guy. I think he's our Lowry. I would be totally comfortable running this team back and resigning Josh Hart. Bank on seeing internal development. The centers are both young. RJ/Grimes/IQ/Obi/McBride are all guys who you hope to level and keep building chemistry

We need another jumbo wing that can play defense, rangy, and can reasonably hit the 3. Ideally put the ball on the floor a bit..

We need LaVine or someone like him. LaVine can shoot from the outside and create offense. He’s big enough and plays average D when engaged. Barrett, Toppin, and picks.

Grimes is that man

Grimes doesn’t create any offense and I don’t see any indication that he’s more than a 3&D guy at this point. He hasn’t even shown flashes of it.

Really? Not for me, I see flashes of it all the time.

Grimes has decent burst past players and has made passes to cutting players and those around him on way to basket all the time IMO

That's not his role right now nor what has been asked of him. I think he has a ton of potential to score and in a variety of ways.

its not what grimes is now its what can he become.
Lavine is great not, but that knee and contract can become an issue.
Grimes second year and learning a lot. We start two 22 year olds!!!! Both are doing really well.
Grimey still has a way's to go. This was a great year and I think we are close to our ceiling for now.
If we run it back IQ, RJ and Grimes all should be improved.
We have the least playoff experience of any remaining team!!!!

Big time afraid of LaVine's knee.. particularly at $50 mill per in the back half of that contract

He’s been relatively healthy and isn’t a high flier style player anymore. I don’t really see the concern there. He’s played most games in the last few years compared to a majority of star players.

This is were the rubber meets the road. We need to upgrade one of RJ and Grimes is understandable. We need a “star”.
Really, we could use Bradley Beal at the 2. Dude is a scoring machine and can play off the ball some. He has a monster contract. Its going to cost directly or with another team Grimes and IQ plus EF and picks. Still have to give up more money.

Ingram spot up shooting would be great on this team.

Granted, if RJ (he is 22) still has more ceiling im not inclined to give him up. Im a fan of the kid. To be fair, his resurrection does increase his trade value if traded.

There is a game tonite. The narrative changes as we go along. Im ok running the whole thing back.

And………Randle since Thibs came to town in 2 of three seasons made an allstar team and perhaps his last all NBA team (they are going positionless in the future). That exceeded my expectations!!!!!

I do not want to argue with you…I love JB and am happy… but Amare Stoudemire had a better first year than JB imho and how did that play out

Could not have said it better, than you've stated.
JALEN Brunson ..BETTER THAN I OR ANYONE EVER imagined.

Proud of our Team Brunson, RJ, Randle and whole team and coaches!

Great season /playoffs, beginning to BETTER 2023/24

We need a big who can match with JB. Randle is too ball dominant to be that type of player. I would love for us to package Randle and Mitch to get Ayton and then start Obi at PF. Both those guys in the front court full time would work really well with brunson
