I disagree.

He was the SEC Player of the Year @ PG for Kentucky; and one of the top 5 steals of the draft.

He's without question a PG with deep 3 ability.

I think he meant Burks.

yeah thanks man... Quick has a long way to go before showing starting PG chops but I think most are happy with THAT progression as well. Just want to clarify so folks dont lose their minds over the perceived slight of someone on the roster

Quentin Grimes has been cleared from health and safety protocols and rejoined the team.

NBA RotoWire was SPOT ON.

It would be so exciting if we get all 3 of R.J. Barrett, Deuce McBride and Quentin Grimes back in our lineup for tonight's game vs. Washington.

Good. Fair is fair. Hopefully plenty of other teams gave to call up D-League scrubs to 10 day contracts (instead of just the Knicks).

Time to see what Washington's DEPTH is all about.

Knicks have won 2 of our previous 3 games.

A win tonight would make it 3 wins throughout our previous 4 games.

Don't look now but these Knicks are fighting back.

Those guys are just guessing. Knicks/WOJ would let us know if anyone outside of Obi were available.

I don't think they're just guessing man. Rottowire is pretty damn accurate in regards to lineups, injuries and availability.

Well they were 2/3 and got both Toppin and Grimes right 😁

@ Martin, can you somehow change the thread Title for us by...

A.) Removing R.J. Barrett's name.

And

B.) Including Obi Toppin, Quentin Grimes and our NYK LEGEND Clyde Frazier?!?

Thanks in advance if so.

Guys, if you're home, stay home and watch the game.

There are a serious number of *******s and dumbasses invading the roads tonight.

Unless you're an ******* or a dumbass. Then nevermind.

Great advice man.

I'm down here in Florida. Tampa Bay area and the roads are scary. Dangerous. But come the Holiday seasons they become deadly.
