It's either Landry or Warren. Can't sign both for the time being because of the second apron.

Right, this is one of those situations where we need to add "for now" and see how much that phrase is going to do work over the next weeks and months.

Where do you all project Grimes performs this year? I know he came on strong at the end of the season but didn't really get to see much of it. Curious what his role would be on this team if he were still here. Is he a bonafide starter, or just on a bad team?

Grimes would disappear on this team. He wants to create his own offense and he just isn't good enough to do that. That fact that he thinks he deserves to get paid more than his QO should tell you everything you need to know. He definitely thinks he is a better player than he actually is.

Shamet is older and knows his role. He is a better fit but is too inconsistent to be relied on. When he gets hot it's great but you can't count on it day in and day out.

Bridges should watch film of the DDV/Brunson connection and try and do that. Bridges likes to stand around to much. DDV was always moving and working similar to Curry.

We need Divo back

He could start on this Knicks team if you believe in Hart as a super sub and you want an extra shooter / solid wing defender out there. I think he's a starter in the NBA because he can defend at a high level, shoot around 35-40% on 3% on 6 attempts per game and put the ball on the floor. I don't think he's a better player than Bridges for example (Bridges is a more consistent scorer and can score in more ways), but because he's a better and more willing shooter from deep, he might actually be a better fit than Bridges for this Knicks team. Grimes doesn't have the elite wingspan like Bridges. Bridges more likely to make that spectacular individual defensive play, but Grimes can be really pesky on ball and hold up against bigger ballhandlers like Cade or Haliburton reasonably well.

Grimes would be a perfect replacement to Hart ino ur starting 5. Grimes has the ability to guard the point of attack which would allow Bridges to gurd off the ball and be a hel defender which I think he excells at. Grimes would allow us to play 5-out on offense as well....Most Knick fans want to bring back former Knicks, mainly Divo...but Grimes is the one that makes the most sense because he fills more needs....

In theory, Grimes would be a perfect fit. But there is something about the way he handles pressure and adversity that bothers me. He has one disappointing season in Kansas and immediately transfers. Not necessarily a red flag, but then he carries that same attitude here and starts whining when Donte outplays him. The he pulls the same move when Christie goes to the Mavs. Then he finally come through on a low pressure tank team late in the season. I'm sorry, just not convinced.

This. In theory Grimes is a great fit. But he already has complained about his role before he had this little burst. He would be a 4th option on this team-maybe 3rd at absolute best. In Philly, he is going to be pissed when\if Embiid, Maxey, George are all playing AND top 3 pick Edgecomb all ahead of him in the pecking order he plays basically the same position as Maxey so the minutes may not be there .. Just wait. Once is an incident (Knicks), Twice is a pattern (he couldn't play next to Cade), 3 times is a pattern (Dallas). Grimes talent and the type of player he is all I want in a 2 guard and I love those types of guys. Seems Grimes is arrogant, full of himself, and folds when he actually has competition. I hat those type of guys. Major issues.

Yeah, but KCP has the fortune of signing that deal before this CBA was in place. I think Kuminga would've gotten a Patrick Williams deal in the old CBA. I think he'll be forced to take less now.

Didn't KCP get that deal last offseason under the new CBA?
