Knicks Current Roster Head Coach: Thom Thibodeau Assistant coach: Mike Woodson PG: Elfrid Payton, Dennis Smith Jr., Frank Ntilikina SG: Wayne Ellington, Reggie Bullock, Damyean Dotson, Theo Pinson SF: Maurice Harkless, R.J. Barrett, Kevin Knox, Ignas Brazdeikis PF: Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson C: Mitchell Robinson The Season Sucked rear end. Marcus Morris was the best player on the team until they shipped him off for nothing. The rest of the season was hand offs on the arc while different untalented ball handlers tried to drive for a flailing lay up. Julius Randle spent every game spinning while occasionally taking a spin cycle off to clank a three. R.J. tried real hard on defense but looked like Kevin Knox on offense which brings me to the next point that Kevin Knox sucks rear end. Dennis Smith Jr. took a huge step back and plays with zero confidence. Reggie and Wayne took turns playing the injured vet role that's really good at 3 point shooting you guys I swear. Bobby Portis is too good for this team and also stuck behind the only decent prospect the Knicks have. Mitchell Robinson is too good for this team and also stuck behind the only decent starter the Knicks have. Elfrid Payton took the PG reins and ran with it as his competition couldn't shoot or couldn't dribble, or both. He actually looked pretty decent. None of this matters anyway because this team was designed to be blown up. RFAs Damyean Dotson UFAs Maurice Harkless Team Options Bobby Portis Theo Pinson Draft Fell in the draft but it doesn't matter since this draft sucks. Will take some lovely Euro that will be traded within a year. Next year Identical as this year. The Knicks designed this team to be competent enough to attract free agents and also be jettisoned for the 2021 free agency. Unfortunately everyone else knows that which is why they got peanuts for Marcus Morris. Mo Harkless will be reupped for a trade friendly contract to a team that views him as a good bench presence for some reason and Portis will be picked up just to be shipped off 10 games into the season. The Knicks will try and fail to attract Giannis while all the big named free agents will accept their player options. They'll end up breaking the bank on a big three of like Lamarcus Aldridge, Rudy Gobert, and Chris Paul. This is after they give up Mitch and Barrett in some sort of weird sign and trade for Chris Paul, which both will realize that the NBA is actually fun after getting out from underneath Thibodeau and Woodson's clutches.

An OKC person would need to correct me, but I thought the Thunder were doing a ton of stuff with Schroder for marketing? I assume the plan was Shroeder and SGA backcourt and build from there. I agree though, this would be as high as you can sell Schroder. edit: vvvv Very good point Lockback fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Sep 10, 2020 |

Congratulations to the Raptors for hitting what was considered to be their start-of-season ceiling, and leaving us feeling like they could've done more. There will probably be a few changes in the offseason, especially at centre. Excited to see what they do.

Sans Our main takeaways from this season are as follows: The group we went into the bubble with balled the gently caress out. Cam Johnson, mikal bridges, and yeah cam payne all played great in the bubble. Bridges especially. These dudes fit with what we need around booker. Ayton has to be more consistent, on court and off. Even if dude has been good so far, which he has, you’re still the guy we picked over doncic and we can’t afford to have him missing a quarter of the season again. It’s not clear how oubre fits with this team now. He’s a good energy guy and is a good third option but we saw how smoothly things went without him in the bubble. For the amount of money he’s making we can’t really justify him coming off the bench. Is Rubio - Booker - Oubre - Bridges - Ayton workable for a full season to make a run at the playoffs? As far as free agents go, Baynes is probably gone which is a shame because I’d love to have that dude back. I think he showed enough shooting ability that somebody is going to think he can be their Brook lopez and pony up serious cash for him. Hopefully I’m wrong though. Dario Saric was an awesome second unit leader and is an RFA, def need to bring him back. Jevon carter is also an rfa and we’d best not let him walk either, dude has great energy. Get frank the tank the gently caress out of here. Cam payne can stay too. Suns fans on Reddit are coveting lauri markannen and Christian wood. Lauri would be cool. Not into wood. I like what we have now but I’m not sure it’s enough to sneak past whoever is in the 8 spot next year. Portland? Memphis? Eh. We need to upgrade but it will probably have to be through trading oubre.

Mmmm I would much rather have Christian Wood than Lauri Markannen He's better at nearly everything at this point and he's still only 24 so he's not way older than Lauri. Detroit will probably end up trying hard to keep him though

I went to the tradenba site to see if Buddy for Draymond worked (it does - I’m not quite sure how I really feel about it), and a lot of people are shopping Oladipo for Buddy. Not a firm believer in Oladipo, especially with injury history, but I’m not the biggest Buddy fan either. I forgot GSW has Wiggins though so my idea of moving Klay up to the 3 is falling through. Kings really really need a defensive identity though

Draymond for Buddy would be robbery, and I think I value Draymond more than most people here. Draymond is kinda worthless for a team like the Kings. Wiggins can guard the 4 ok. I mean, he's bad wherever but he defended the 4 every now and then in MN and he was fine. He's 6'8 with a 7' wingspan and he's reasonably strong. It'll depend a lot on what Klay looks like when the season starts though, they might need Wiggins to chase around wings more.

You’re right. I’m pretty disgusted with myself for even considering. As a wolves fan, I bet you can relate with my desperation for a defensive identity however.

I wouldn't give Ball an extension this offseason, the cap uncertainty alone is a reason not to lock guys early. If Lonzo can keep shooting 35%+ from outside he's worth $20m a year easy. He's got Rubio-disease in that his finishing at the rim is a real problem, but I think he brings a lot to that lineup.

Rondo drove to the basket even when he couldn't finish. Lonzo doesn't even make the attempt.

Lonzo isn't a PG. He's a 3+D guard that brings great stationary passing. Don't think that is really worth Rozier money.

lonzo sucks and only makes sense to sign if you have 2 other guys in your starting line up who can playmake in the half court better than him. i don't see him getting more than like 15 mil unless he pulls a jabari parker and gets a one year prove-it deal
