I wonder what our timeline is on bringing him over. We don’t have any roster flexibility right now. We have a 1st rd pick, Sims on a 2 way 1 expiring contract in Solomon Hill. Maybe he stays in Europe one more year? Or we trade/waive Kemba in the off-season?
Edit- oops, forgot Mitch is expiring. |

In Europe he can get that. LEts be real, its all a good thing but its not the NBA and as much as he might remind us of Doncic, that is not a given. His game might not translate to the NBA. Doncic is a big kid and very strong. That extended range fall-a-way gives him space and the abilty to penetrate or he can burn you rom 35 feet. |

He continues to develop on Barcas's dime while the Knicks continue moving and consolidating assets. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more.

His offer from Knicks has to be such that he could pay off buyout and make it worth it. He seems to be edging towards good path to success (and a bigger offer) and it'll be even more prevalent with another year. Kemba and Rose are still Knicks as well as IQ. I'd guess there will be some consolidation and then Bruson will be on the horizon. 2 years in Barcelona seems just right. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

Rokas is signed through 2025 with Barcelona. I imaging the Knicks would have to work out a deal and buy out his contract ~250K euros to bring him to NY. |

If younger kids like Deuce, Grimes and Sims have all seen NBA playing time already, then why not Rokas Jokubaitis? Imo he's more NBA ready than any of them. And he's also a natural/pure PG which is what we're in desperate need of right now. If the Knicks include him in any trade package I'll become livid. Because he's got the potential to become the NBAs very next European Superstar on an NBA level. |

I havent watch any of his games and for me it’s hard to gage a player when they are not playing against nba players. What nba PG does he remind you of?
Also, who’s a better nba prospect right now? Rokas or Deuce. Pick 1 and why? I knew about deuce in college, appt play in the nba and gleague. What’s the big deal on Rokas? Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Sorry….just realized my answer is somewhere in this thread 😂 But until I know he’s coming over just not motivated about him. Unless someone says he’s better than deuce, then I will investigate.

Sorry but if JR Smith can average 50 in one of those top euro leagues, or even score 50…not sure which one it was. Then I would expect a nba ready player to dominate correct?
