Knicks core is Randle, RJ, Mitch, IQ, Obi, Rose. Luca has the potential to be in the core. Bullock and Burks might be too expensive now for what they give us. Knox and Frank...I like them both so....

We need shooters. Thibs can make a player a respectable defensive player in his system. We have 3 draft picks. Make them all knockdown shooters. This will fix a lot of our problems. Get a sharpshooting SF and C.

As per hoopshype here are our players that are under contract.
Randle
RJ
Joakim Noah (WOW. Next year is his last year!)
Obi
Knox
Luca (Team Option)
IQ
Mitch (Team Option)
Pelle

We have 1 with a qualifying offer (RFA?)
Frank

What do I think we need to do?
-Sign Rose for 2-3 years for $7-8M per
-Extend Randle to $30 per for an extra 3 years
-Let Frank test the market then match what he will get. He should get somewhere around the MLE.
-Let Bullock and Burks test the market. If reasonable then sign them to another 1 year contract.
-In the draft. Draft nothing but shooters. If you can't shoot then don't apply.

We still have Knox in the roster. We really need to develop this dude. Hopefully, Thibs and crew can perform miracles in the off-season.

You essentially want us to keep the same roster, and I don't think that's going to happen. The roster was a scrappy hard working group, but just not big enough or talented enough to get to another level (which would have been the 2nd round)

Why would the knicks invest a penny into Frank, Thibs barely played this dude, and they just sign another PG in Luca, who looks so much better. Frank can test the Market all he wants, he was on the trade market for a 2nd rnd pick and nobody called.

I doubt we keep all 3( Burks, Bullock, and Noel)

At least one of our picks will be included in a Trade.

The knicks have been rumoured to be interested in every above avg veteran PG that might be available (wall, CP, Lowry, WB)

Yikes man, I think your radar on how some of the above can or will shake out is just waaaaaayyyyyy off.

Will the Knicks want to keep cap flexibility? If so, I don't see Rose getting more than 1 year offer, maybe with team option for more.

Randle's extension, if it happened this offseason, would start at $26M. Good amount of detail here: https://www.thestrick.land/strick/inside-math-of-julius-randle-future-max-contract-new-york-knicks

Frank is not getting much more than the minimum and no way he gets the MLE. That ship has sailed.

Any reason we can't add Ball and Kawhi? A knick fan can dream, no?
