Tezza Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Thought I would start this since another user was wondering about where the Knicks chat is! For the jersey collectors out there, the new supposed Knicks city edition got leaked - https://basketballjerseyarchive.com/news/nike-boston-celtics-new-york-knicks-23-24-city-edition-jerseys-leaked/295/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I now question if he is intentionally shooting bad so the other guys can seal it with a rebound 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 New 23-24 city edition jersey, I kind of like it! As a Yankees fan I am all in for the pinstripes however the double New York on the front should come with some 3D glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungaman Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Is there a place on the web where there are some decent Knicks chatter? I thought I found one off of prosportsdaily, but it turned out to be the same dozen or so guys yelling at each other over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Ujuri has totally jumped the shark for the Raptors, has been living off the championship year for years now and doing a terrible job. Anoubi is very good. Getting Barrett seems like a ticket selling move to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO really well. Quickley is the real loss because he was having a fantastic year but they weren’t going to be able to pay him. OG is a beast and should in theory be a perfect fit for this year’s team. From a fan standpoint it sucks to see Quick go, he’s been a fan favorite since day one and can legit ball. They gave him up to sell a guy who was going to be one of the top FA’s next year on staying long term. Probably worth it but we’ll see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Also some food for thought: 1. The Knicks haven't coveted a potential FA this much since Brunson. They've been after Anunoby for a long time. So there's something to be said for that given how well they hit the nail on Brunson. 2. Toronto had been saying forever that it would take a boat load of picks for Anunoby. 3. Quickley is going to want a bag and someone is going to give it to him. For context what it would take to keep him would likely have made him the second highest player on the team. Given they will definitely have to give Brunson a max deal at some point, it made absolutely zero sense to invest that much in a combo guard whose impact on wins during his best is good but not worth that type of coin. The Knicks weren't going to pay him and they were definitely going to go hard at Anunoby. It's a decent gamble given how strong a selling point Brunson and the Garden itself is right now and it frees up the salary to get it done. So far as I see it the biggest risk is Thibs. The thing with him is guys are either totally Thibs guys or they are not, there's really no in-between with him. I'm sure Thibs signed off on it given how amazing a defender OG is, but you really never know until they're officially together. I'm not sure if this makes sense, but the Knicks are like, I dunno, aaaaaalmost there for being able to really compete in the playoffs. This gets them more almost there. It's one of those bigger medium-sized moves that teams that eventually make a run make. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the sh*t the fans and media gave him he always kept it together and I think everyone at least respected that. So frustrating to watch on the court though. Dare I say it Starks-esque without the Starks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The OG trade was a legit move. He’s an elite 3 and D player who fits Thibs like a glove and makes the Knicks defense much better. it was heartbreaking to see Quickley go, but you really couldn’t play him and Brunson together down the stretch of most games. the Knicks are one more big move from being legit. Big win for them beating the T Wolves today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of this the Knicks need one more guy who can get his own shot in the 4th quarter so they don’t have to rely on Randle always being on his game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OG is the stud 3 and D guy they have been looking for and they really needed a good wing, in general. Quick is a very good player but he was limited to being a sixth man on the Knicks because he doesn’t fit well with Brunson - you really can’t play both at the same time against the best teams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartenstein is much better than I ever realized Bronson and Randle would be a legit combo if Randle could ever figure out how to do this in the playoffs They have a chance to be very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asymmetrical Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I was crestfallen to see Quick go, but hard to argue with the results. Everyone has a role and it's working seamlessly.
