If playoff teams like the Heat, Clippers, Celtics get kicked out of the 1st round they might opt to press the reset button and part ways with their superstars! Of these three teams, which star player you want to head to the knicks? I might want Jalen Brown or Kahwai. Im worried about chemistry issues and fit of Butler with RJ. George seems to be on a decline. If we can somehow get Brown and an upgrade at the starting point guard spot yhe knicks can be competitive for years to come.

Depends on the price paid for each. PG13 I’d just assume pass on given the money and cost to trade. Leonard is cap space which gives us options. The basis is Clips are boxed in and winning becomes the issue. But, they are in So Cal and have some internal growth potential. Kawhai is a different cat. Jimmy will have a limited market and perhaps Thibs/Knicks would be the only team interested. If so a first and Obi might be enough. I could be way off. I’m not a trade prediction kind of guy. Miami keeps things close to the vest. For all we know they worked it out. Jimmy has endorsements to Look after and can’t burn more bridges. I think jimmy could be good for Rj but he’ll be hell on him.

That could easily morph into Timmy going 7-17 for 10.5 ppg in the next two games. THJ can be streaky. Hopefully he keeps up the streak long enough to sucker the Mavs into giving him a three year, $60M deal.

The time is near! Lets hope for some big leads against the Hawks so he might be able to get some game time.

LOVE IT.

This was directed at Elf and the starting rotation spot, right?

WTF is wrong with people. Spitting, throwing and now messing with family of players. I understand its only 5 fans but it still ruins the mood of an amazing night of basketball. Just to put some nice energy in the air here is the Knicks royal family being treated like royalty.

It looks like the Clippers, Heat and Celtics are struggling in their first round series. It's possible these team will look to change direction and possibly their rosters will look different come next season.

There might be a golden opportunity for the knicks to speed up the rebuild even further. Honestly I would rather the front office focus on signing free agents than trading for players to upgrade the roster. Is there a realistic scenario the knicks can sign Lonzo and also sign say Kahwai while extending Julius and Mitch?

In signing free agents the knicks can hold on to their picks to fortify their bench.

Remember a week or so ago when the talk was the Bucks would fold to the Heat so they wouldn't meet them in the first round?

Bucks beating the brakes off the Heat!! What happened to the Miami Heat culture? What happened to Jimmy Butler being a dog and getting them most out of his teammates and himself? 2 Blow outs in a row looks like a team that has given up

Heat have been a major disappointment. Can’t stand the fact that one of Bucks Nets 86ers will be in the finals
The Future is Bright!

Miami had a nice run to finish the season. What happened? Rumors of beef with Jimmy might be divisive behind the scenes.
Fans perspective is all things that are stay. Thus Miami who finishes strongs stays strong. Milwaukeee? different team this year than last. Also they been steady all season long. Miami been uneven. But, Credit Milwaukee for DISMANTLING THE HEAT THE LAST TWO GAMES. They won game one and obviously raped them of their spirit at the same time.
Last years bubble and related on going covid, the restrictions, the testing, the tight no socializing have had effects on teams and players. Herro rise to fame had to have an effect and at the same time at 20 he physically has yet to mature and find his pattern as a pro for his body to rejuvenate.
Knicks being young with a new coach found a close culture that fed on itself.
Don’t expect the same next year. The league and the knicks will be different. Might be better, might be worse but count on change as a constant.

Bucks have size....I think they are the team best equipped to give the Nets problems. Will be a fun series to watch.

I don't watch Miami but essentially they swapped Kelly Olynyk (last year shot 40% from deep which presumably moved at least 1 big defender to the 3pt line) and swapped him with Ariza and an injured Oladio AND Herro got the TMZ bug.

You wanna talk about a non spacing starting lineup: Nunn 38%, Duncan 40%, Butler 25%, Ariza 35%, Bam 25%. Herro this year is at 36%
