BROOKLYN JET Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Philc1 said: He’s 26. Honestly I have no idea what they do with Randle. Extend him, use him as trade bait to get a superstar like Giannis He's under contract next year, he'll go from $18.9 to $19.8 million. I say they keep him and see if he earns a max contract next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I still find all of this hard to fathom, but if Barrett can keep this up from behind the arc, it's gonna be an interesting second half. We'll see how things go with Quickley and Toppin. Rookies tend to fall off towards the end of the regular season, but with the shortened schedule and unique season it's anyone's guess as to how this is gonna go. That said Thibs has gotta be the favorite for coach of the year going into the second half. Hard to fathom what he's done with all the bigs. Nerlens Noel? Holy sh*t. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he has more talent, but he also has them playing great, with no superstars on the roster. Either way, these two coaches should come in 1-2, no matter which order.

RutgersJetFan Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 So I think the big difference in this current front office is that they are not chasing Griffin. In the past that's definitely something the Knicks do, throwing a wrench into Randle's time and Toppin's development. It seems like they know they are playing with house money for the rest of the year and there is no need to **** with a good thing. I hope I'm not speaking too soon about this and jinxing anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle, Barrett and Quickley make a solid future starting 3. Add in Knox and a better Toppin next season and along with Thibs can be a good landing place for a top FA. Extending Randle next year and we’re ready to compete with the top 10 teams 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extending Randle next year and we’re ready to compete with the top 10 teams Quickley to me seems like he is going to be an incredible 6th man, and Barrett is still young with a lot to develop but watching him it looks like he's going to be a solid 1B player in a few years, maybe sooner than later, who knows. Have to see how his shooting percentage holds up in the 2nd half. It's always so hard to tell how super young guys like him are gonna pan out but the early returns from freshman to sophomore year are huge and the one thing that gives all of us reason to believe he'll work out is that the guy works his ass off. His TS% isn't that great but it also isn't a disaster either and you can just about say that for their entire offense this year. Bizarrely enough I think Ntilkina has the highest true shooting on the team for the first half which is preposterous when you think about that guy's journey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin is done. Ditto for Oladipo. They are just names now Drummond I would like at the right price because if we extend him we can use Mitch as trade bait to try to get that elusive superstar next offseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 What a game. It’s hard not to have fun watching this team. Completely selfless and it starts with Randle. Him passing off a clear shot to Bullock in OT because Reggie had the hot hand is so indicative of everything he’s brought. 6 in a row. Jesus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Derrick Rose was phenomenal in the final 4 minutes. What a pickup Bullock was. What a great team effort on Zion (35 pts) even though he shoots over 55% with 9 reBounds and 5 assists. He could have has 45. Props to the refs letting them play. Both teams very physical. Adams is a mountain of a man. Noel fought hard on the boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all about upgrading SF (Kawhi please!). But Bullock is making a believer out of me. Not that I don't still want Kawhi, but if we upgrade another position with a supermax player, I think we could still move up into the top tier. Two other big surprises for me this year: 1) Nerlins Noel is a boss. He stepped up when Mitch went down and honestly, has played the role even better than Mitch has this year. 2) Derrick Rose might be the best mid-season FA pickup I can remember.

I think the Knicks will be conservative this offseason and mind the philosophy of Thibs which means prioritizing Noel and Burks, and beginning extension talks with Randle. I'm honestly hoping they just bring the team back and add someone like Ball into the mix. Hard to imagine them not being confident in building around Randle and Barrett for the next few years.
