As much as I wanted to move KP the front office did a terrible job with that trade. Brunson should of been included. The Knicks have had many chances to rebuild the team but made the wrong choice at every turn. Had we traded him to the Celtics we would be so much further along. I'm so sick of losing. Its 6 years since we drafted KP and we still aren't a .500 team. Its hard to be a fan of this team.

We waited way too long to trade KP. Phil tried in 2017, got laughed at for even taking phone calls, and Dolan vetoed what may have ended up being a top 2 or 3 trade in franchise history

I agree about Brunson. I can see us getting him as a backup plan to Lonzo Ball. Rose and Brunson have the connection of course. I really believe our starting PG next year will be Ball but if it’s not I think there’s a solid chance it’s Brunson. I can see Rose offering a first round pick for him if needed.

Wait a minute, I thought it was the media and the fans that kept Phil from being the world's greatest FO exec?

No it was a dumb owner who listened to idiots in the media

(For reference... Brunson is 24.6 years old... DSJ is 23.4... and in spite of perhaps losing some athleticism, is still 2x the athlete vs Brunson.)

I mean, Brunson is the type of player I'd have wanted, but in a way Harper had a somewhat similar profile, leading his Auburn team to the final 4 but not coming home with the bacon.

DSJ is the worst. It really is incredible how clowns in the media were hyping this guy up as the next Steph Curry just up until a year and a half ago.

I always saw him as the next PG with hops. Poor man drose. I thought his highlight dunks would energize the team and fan base. I was wrong

He did energize the team and fanbase the first couple of games here. I don't know what happened, but he lost his pop. Wish him luck on his journey.

He got exposed.

Dennis Smith stopped playing with that top tier jumping ability that he has. He's almost like a player who has passed his prime and only shows it in flashes. For whatever reason Dennis Smith just doesn't play at the same speed he did in college and when he first came into the league. Not sure what happened. He stopped attacking the basket and playing aggressively. Maybe he's afraid of getting hurt, or whatever. But there was a time when he showed his athletic gifts constantly, and now we just don't see it anymore.

Gotta be back issues and then it has lead to confidence issues
