Feel like Ian doesn't go out of bounds on making predictions that aren't very solid. Looks like IQ is on his way to an extension too, which is awesome.

He put up 22/5/5 as a starter in 21 games (winning record). Look at Brunson's progression and IQ's. What if IQ is better than Brunson? Both are crazy hard workers with high BB IQ.

Yeah why can't we keep our guards and draft our own OG.

How far? Who knows. As a fan, I'd be incredible happy to just ride with the guys that are on the roster with internal growth as a key focus. Brunson has been a bigger revelation than I had expected and his role on the USA team hints towards something even better than we saw during the last playoffs. Yeah I'm good with just rolling with this crew for another year but that's just me. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

But I can see a lot of guys on the current roster take a step forward, and if that happens, thats better than adding new players and hoping they fit in. The following guys I think will take a step forward. Grimes Due to the knowledge and experience they will gain from FIBA. Plus you pickup another level of confidence, just to be around the top players and especially the coaches. I'm also expecting these players to step up. Randle (with his low playoff performance) So yes, I believe this entire group (including Thibs) will step up a notch in general, which is great news for the team and fans.

The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I dont see both Grimes and IQ staying beyond this season. Just a hunch with the glut at guard. I dont believe IQ wants to spend the next few years coming off the bench. Might end up being a sign and trade. |

Brunson and Hart are probably the likely longest tenured Knicks from this group when it’s all said and done. Brunson changed the culture and Hart took it a step further. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: I wouldn't call Hart a steal. I think it is closer to a strategic overpay. He's our guy. The FO identified him as a guy that fits better with us than other teams and whom we want to invest in. That's fine. The Pacers overpaid Brown and I think it is fine. The Rockets overpaid FVV and I think it's kind of stupid. In both cases, I think the FOs knew they were going high. I think we did too. |

How would that affect future cap flexibility? Is IQ good in the 6th man role next season and maybe beyond? If he doesn't extend in the off season you have your answer. |
