X-posting from the GDT but I'm curious what the Knicks are going to do in the offseason.

Nerlens Noel underrated

The new look knicks are going to get a bunch of journeymen some looks at bigger deals. I checked the contracts and a bunch of the guys they are getting great minutes out of are RFAs this off season.

Rose, Bullock, Taj, Burks, Noel. They will keep their core of Randle, RJ, and Quickley for another year but they are probably going to need to do some significant shake-ups in the offseason.

Phoenix is hot as balls but the things they have going for them is they have incredibly smooth roads, like perfectly smooth ribbons of asphalt covering the whole valley. They also have excellent driving and lane discipline. People zipper merge, and also plan ahead for exits, etc.

It is very pink/tan/brown though so if you like that you are in luck.

Oh I thought you meant something else. Yeah IDK about what moves to make, I am a bad fantasy GM. Best case scenario is trade some young guys + draft picks for a star with kemba included to balance salary.

Alternatively, focus on rounding out solid roleplayers instead of just assuming mid-tier draft picks will always pan out.

His biggest mistake, at least in retrospect, is trusting his young draft picks to develop into real players instead of signing/trading for veteran talent. I like(d) Grant Williams but he cannot be getting big playoff minutes. Same with Prichard, Neismith, Ojeleye, etc.

e: I think the Kemba and Hayward signings were fine and mostly unforeseeable that it would go so wrong.

At this point, the best they could probably hope for would be to find a team that's rebuilding and see if they can entice them to take on Kemba's contract by including a bunch of picks and/or young players, taking back some expiring contract in return.
