let me explain why... Jamal to me is one of the only knicks that is playing better this year with brown than last year without... this shows me that he has the capability to improve and with LB i think that is very important he is COACHABLE he always says the right thing and u have to think about how he used to play last year he threw up SO MANY bad shots it was insain this year he has cut that down IMESELY its really something..... Also i think he has potential to be VERY CLUTCH... he seems to do a good job late in games.. granted not always but he is getting a good amount of experience in clutch situations..

Jalen i feel is one of our smartest players... and he seems like a leader to me... hes one of those players im always comfertable will make the right decision.... which is very rare on this team. he seems like the only player that gets along with Steph lol but i understand he has a big expiring deal which we will most likely trade... but i still want to keep him around

now the only way i trade either of these players is if u can aquire EITHER a defensive DIFFERENCE MAKER or a real inteligent leader/floor general.... anything less, would be uncivilised

i don't mind holding onto Crawford cuz i still say he can learn to play in LB's system... Jalen should be traded if they can use his expiring contract to add a shotblocker next season... they need to clear up room for Qyntel to get more playing time next year... but if you can't get value for him, i say let his contract expire & let him finish out the season... he's been a pretty decent pickup in my view... 1 of the few players on this team that can hit an open jumper from the perimeter consistently

I agree with you on both counts, Elite.

disregard the contract...Rose is a solid player. I really wouldn't mind seeing him as a Knick for the coming season.

and I wouldn't be upset if they re-sign afterwards as a back up SF.

rose is an expiring contract. the chances of him being a knick after february is ZERO.

I feel like I may actually be dumb enough to buy into this latest tease from Jamal. Maybe it's just my optimistic nature.

It depends. With the right mix of players one, or both of these guys could be a great fit.

Yes, when Jamal plays well, the Knicks win, but that's a problem because he's inconsistent. We've got to have other guys who can step up, and we need some guys who are tough defensive players.

Keep Craw. we won;t get anything for him in a trade anyway. I wouldn't care if we moved Rose. Maybe we can get another pick for him.

I wouldn't mind keeping Craw. If Jalen can't earn PT here, though, there is a major problem.
