Agreed.

Work on locking up Mitch

He's nothing special but has been starting washington and known as their most versatile defender and is also a pretty efficient outside shooter and finisher. He can replace Payton and Ntilikina (as a defensive stopper) for cheaper. He was in Utah for years so he has a connection to the front office and coaching staff (similar to Burks.)

Ok I’ll check it out

Ok yea I could see this if we are dumpster diving for upside on the cheap.

Low volume 3 point percentage but confident he would not be hoisting bricks like Payton. We would feel confident if wide open it’s going in.

I’m guessing he is a solid decision maker also.

Speaking on Mitch. Goes to show us We can get away with him not being here
Vs some teams but other teams we need what he brings.

Pay the man

From the Knicks side, keeping Rose should be a higher priority than signing Lowry. That also goes for a raft of other free agents over Bullock, Burks, and Noel. Unless a top tier guy like DeRozsn calls back, we should focus on out own.

you had me at hello.

We talking regular season DeRozan or the playoff choke one?

Knicks did it right, finding some guys on value deals that had bounced around, but had skill to bring to the table in a role. Dougie McBuckets would be a good fit coming back here if one of those guys is priced out (though who the f knows, maybe Doug gets more money than them).

Yes. Feel like guys like Tony Snell should be looked at thru this lens

Feel like Tony is a big step down down from Bullock/Burks and should be a last resort. Not real high on Dougie, but he'd be OK for the right price.

Why? What is different about Tony than Bullock/Burks were a year ago?

Tony Snell a solid defender and 3pt shooter. After that I'm not familiar with his game. And to be clear: I'm talking about a 1 year deal at low cost.

VDesai wrote:Martin I think you are on the money with Snell. If he took 1 yr 4-5mm deal I'd welcome him here. Honestly he could be a very nice approximation of Bullock. Bullock was a guy who toiled around till he got the right opportunity. Snell's historical shooting suggest he can play that role. Another thing about Snell and Doug - both played on the Bulls for Thibs. Snell actually got run for Thibs over Dougie if memory serves.

I was impressed with Doug on D when he was here. Aside from being a valuable sniper I thought he gave a credible effort on D.

I agree here. I actually thought the Knicks would take his 12mm off the Hawks this season. Reminds me of Bullock in almost every sense. I could see Snell joining us regardless of whether Bullock is here. Seems like a solid prototype player for this team.
