He and Botkins, or whatever his name is over on cbssports.com always, always, always list the knicks under the ‘loser’ category of every trade, trade deadline, free agency and draft, and always give them a c or D in any report or draft grade.

At the end of the day, to go out and move all the pieces the Knicks moved to clear the space they did to end up with a non-All-Star as your prize $104M signing, that's a loss.

Stars are going double that in the $200M range 😂 I like Burks and Noel, but I wouldn't consider that heaven and earth.

Brunson is the cherry on top. I hope they can find a new home for Fournier soon. Just embrace the youth movement and fevelop the kids.

I still think we need to get rid of randle more than Fournier. Fournier you can move to the bench, he seemed to develop nice chemistry/ had a good personality with the you guys. Randle is just a cloud hanging over the team. He'll sulk if he comes off the bench, he'll sulk if he has a reduced role etc. Somewhere along the way he started thinking he's Kobe Bryant- I just don't see how you put that back in the box. Plus spacing is a disaster with him, Mitch, RJ and Brunson.

This is all nonsense. The basis for his grade is that every free agency class has a bust, so it mind as well be Brunson since it's the Knicks. He cherry picked one arbitrary stat and the went off on a rant.

Typical same ole Knicks tired garbage talking points. This guy would also be hyperventilating if rose traded the pick to get under the cap and then didn’t sign Brunson

Yeah, he's mad because the Knicks didn't pick another center? I don't think he's even watched a college basketball game in the last 7 years. No one is throwing a tantrum over Duren and Mark Williams

It’s too bad -once upon a time he was a reasonably informed occasionally objective voice on all things Knicks. But I guess he decided the tortured crybaby Knicks fan clown act was the way to go. And now that there is a cottage industry of Knicks hate, why bother to be reasonable or educated? I

So sick of people saying Stephen A Smith clueless except he knows basketball. He knows as little about basketball as the other sports.

Now if you really want to undertand what that .CBS was doing go back and read some of our takes that were ready to run Leon out of town. Yes, some of you were losing it and some were saying “Just wait and see what happens”. It did become logical.
Granted, the roster is still a bit deep and stands to reason there are other shoes to drop but seemingly things are at a stand still given the Nets situation(s) and teams posturing to make something of it.

That Minny paid that for Gorbert might have set things a bit out of kilter.

A Brunson Don Mitch back court is not logical. EF defense is not awful but not what Thibs might prefer either.
RJ is a good defender so not an issue there. Not great. but I give him a chance before I bet the ranch on DMitch.
On paper and potential of what Minny did cold put them top 4 in the west with what they have 1-8. Snyder and Utah did a good job for years but this Minny lineup is more talented than anything Utah put out there.
I don’t give a rats ass about Minny or make predications but they will be an interesting story going forward.
