Knick fans forget because we never see it, but look at how much easier the game gets with good PG play. This is why that Rose trade was a coup. We literally gave up farts in the wind for this guy and he's an impact player on both ends of the floor.
I am 100% for rebuilding and drafting and growing our own talent base. I am also a huge believer that the one old guy can be PG. I LOVED Derrick Harper. I would be fine with using all our picks to simply draft the BPAs, and offer a fat 2 year deal to Lowry or Conley. Bring back Rose on a 2 year MLE deal as well. Its why I was open to a CP3 trade if it didnt cost too much in terms of pipeline.
That being said we could have a very simple offseason. Sign Lowry or Conley 2 years $58mm, sign Rose 2 years $20mm, bring back Bullock (I am literally just using him as placeholder in the SL)
Next year:
PG Lowry or Conley
SG RJ
SF Bullock
PF Randle
C Mitch
Bench: Rose, Quick, Obi, Knox, Rivers, Iggy, FRP(Dal), FRP(NY), SRP(Det)
Now we know some of those guys are gonners but working with who's under contract.
With Thibs that looks a lot like a 2nd round team in the East with a really strong pipeline and upwards growth for this coaching staff to mold and build up. That's how I would push this project forward.
Get Thibs another floor general. Keep the kids and let them develop chemistry. Some will stick, other will flake. Swing enough and we'll get some hits.
