there is a reason he was priced at vet min and we got him.
Hope is at 33 in a reduced role he can have a bit of a resurgence?
Im not expecting his best but it might not be needed for the signing to be successful.
We need him to be a microwave and Brown give him the hook before he is a detriment.
With is body type and perhaps good health we can wish for a Jamal Crawford type result?
Its a good potential signing. Should prove to be an upgrade from Payne.

Because he got bought out and wants to be on a deep playoff team.

I'm guessing the Knicks signed him more for his ball handling, passing, and 6man mentality more than spacing.

Brogden, Beasley, Simmons, and Westbrook all loom out there. The Kuminga situation is a bit of a stalemate given GSW ambitions to win a chip with some old guys. Same for Clippers I suppose. These older players are not so keen to keep moving as they have kids in school and don't need the money.
You do have the August vacation month were FO's kind of have a quiet period given the intensity of the off season regarding the draft, summer league, FA's and the financial aspects. These guys deserve and need a break also! I suspect after Labor day things ramp up a bit.
Im not guessing who gets whom. I'd even say knicks could do a trade to create room or solve "issues". No need to think beyond this year much so about anything is or should be on the table.
Trading Mitch creates another "issue". Im not saying Josh or Deuce are expendable but both bring value back in a trade. For whom? Maybe do what Detroit and Indy have done which is have a few good but not great bigs as role players? Not as good as mitch, but more bodies. Mitch goes down again we got Huk who himself is fragile. Yabu really was a great pick up!
Maybe Precious on a min deal fills a need? Amount of roster spots are a different story.
Shamet? Al Horford relocate his family to GSW? Many questions unanswered and dominoes to fall soon enough.

More power to him and us if that is how it goes down! Not much sense of pride in a Jazz uni in Salt Lake when you look like he does?

They on a yoot movement also.

Brogdon? Always liked him. Solid player. Recent injuries a concern. How much will he get offered from other teams seems to be the big question.

I was hoping to see more video of him practicing this instead;

To be fair, if he can just eliminate the hack a Mitch he would increase his value exponentially.

To his credit, the arc on his shot looks better here. So at least we see he's working on it.

I bleed orange and blue for life.

Westbrook back in the rumor mill.
Do we need an experienced back up PG? Probably our biggest off season need.
We saw that in last year’s series versus Indiana.
Feel Westbrook, as crazy as he can be, is better than Simmons.

Delon Wright vs Ben Simmons vs Malcolm Brogdon vs Russel Westbrook. With a side hustle of Kolek.

Knicks don't. But if Brunson goes down with injury that's longer than a couple of weeks, it'd be nice to have a guy who has done the starter thing as a PG.

That's the minutes the Knicks have to give?
