The Knicks didn’t trade him for DM and they show faith in him by extending him instead. I agree with that. Now it’s time for him to explain why, on the court, he is worthy of that faith. Good luck to RJ. I have faith in him.

RJ is a key piece but the trio of Brunson, Grimes, and RJ will really determine the future of this team. RJ will be fine if he can get his efficiency up. He needs to get his 3% up to 37% at least.

Would have found watching D-Mitch more entertaining than watching RJ, but there’s something more fulfilling about growing your own players and watch them improve- here’s hoping all our young guns can become the best players they can be

Knicks have too many players and some not ideal fits but I still love it

I know it’s crazy but I hope they play RJ with the bendh more.

IQ
RJ
Reddish
Obi
IHart

Is a really intriguing fastbreak young team with enough outside shooting RJ should have one on one opportunities to attack the basket.

Knicks have gone into some seasons with a glut at some positions. Injuries forced them to go deep into the bench for help. Agree there is a glut now, but I hope the FO doesnt pull the trigger too soon. Reddish wants out, would start with him, then see what happens. Maybe get a 2nd round pick in the deal.

Pressure has been on him since he was drafted and he has responded.

I would think the pressure is more on Grimes than Barrett.

If you believe reports, Knicks were willing to move on from Barrett...it was adding Grimes that they balked at.
