If he can stay healthy and add some weight, he’s going to be a problem for a long time.

Yes - toothpick thin and look ready to snap at slightest breeze but KD kind of similar and still cooking.

Imagine how much he would've crapped on iHart if he had a stack of pancakes before the game.

I mean - I thought we handled Holmgren and even Shea decently but we let the SF go for +35 without barely a miss.

If I’m in his shoes, I’m having a face to face with Thibs, and the first three words are W.T.F.

Hard to tell on IQ - give him credit for playing solidly with contract, trade and minute situations ongoing.

I have to have hope management will make the right move with IQ and I could go either way trade/sign depending on what a IQ trade might look like.

Ideally we are back to can we find a trade for RJ to boost our shooting/D/athleticism/wing length.

? Why does RJ run like he has a serious and permanent case of crotch rot?

If it was me? I'd be looking at the tax rate for every state with a NBA team in it. I'd also start on my tasteful farewell letter to Knicks fans explaining why I'm taking my talents to another franchise. Maybe a press conference at a local Boys & Girls club in Westchester.

I could live with a lot of stuff if RJ simply moved better but got damn does he move like an old timer (bet Jeff Green still moving better than RJ)

Shai is like "See? This the crap I had to deal with in FIBA!"

He’s the only big-ish wing on the team and most able to put pressure on the rim outside of our 2 stars. So where do the minutes come from? If we want to get Quickley starter’s minutes as a 6th man the rotation would have to knock down to 8. Grimes would be removed from the rotation outside of spot minutes and you can get Quickley up to 30 mins while keeping DDV and Harts minutes in the high 20s as well. That’s the only real alternative.

I will be very surprised if IQ is back next season. I doubt Quickley will have a dust up with Thibs over PT because he knows he's going to get paid somewhere. All he has to do is keep playing hard, and he will likely have a larger role on another team.

This whole mess started IMO when Grimes vaulted ahead of Quickley on the depth chart, in spite of not having the game (yet) to do it. I know part of it was keeping IQ at backup PG, but we have 2 more on the bench as well.
