We just don’t have enough shot creation. Whether it’s in the starting lineup or off the bench, we need someone who can handle the ball besides Brunson. Brunson is a ball hog because literally no one on the team can create real space off the dribble other than him. And no one tell me Kolek. I’m talking guys who can dribble and get a good shot. McBride has turned into a pumpkin for whatever ability he had before injury. We need a real offensive spark plug.

We have not had the best version of Shamet since he was out a bit. Basicalluy knicks have enough talent to play him and deuce into shape/groove as playoffs go along. We need them to go deep. If not, well we saw what happens. GTA was given minutes to little effect. Lot of blame to go around. Our bench did not get it done.

Agreed. Deuce and Shamet have not been good since their injuries and it’s starting to matter.

Deuce has no idea what to do when the ball is in his hands. I don’t think that’s an injury thing unless he hurt his head

He’s a short SG. Bad fit on this roster

I don't think he is a bad fit on roster, he is just not being used properly and the Knicks have too many SG's that could use minutes.

Clarkson, Deuce, Shamet. You can't do all 3 unless Clarkson got the ball in his hands.

I have been saying it since mid-season, but these last two games is the first time most people are coming to understand what I've been saying.

Unless he changes his mindset, you cannot build a championship roster around Jalen Brunson as the primary ball handler.

Brunson has had two seasons with KAT and he still cannot figure it out, so odds are he never will.

The now radical suggestion I have that almost no one will think is reasonable until we bomb out of the playoffs is to trade Brunson.

If these hero ball collapses occur a few more times then there will be many people agreeing with me.

As much as I hate him, imagine Haliburton assisting all our shooters all over the court. It would be Showtime Lakers

This team would be way better with Halliburton replacing Brunson, there's no question about it.

Personality wise it's a losing trade, but if you want to win a chip that's clearly a better team.

Haliburton is a totally different fit, but I still favor Brunson because of the shot creation. The problem with this roster is we don’t have another shot creator. So it falls on Brunson. Haliburton is great but Siakam and Nembhard can get shots when they need to. No other Knick can. I get that we have hit that stage of Brunson’s Knicks career similar to Melo and Ewing where he’s judged negatively after not winning a title, but he’s one of the best 4th quarter players of all time. There’s bigger issues on this team.

There is no bigger issue than not being able to build around the player your team is built around.
