Knicks need pursue Zach LaVine or Donovan Mitchell 🤔🤔🤔
For me, someone just like Mikal Bridges would put them over the top. Not necessarily an elite superstar. They need another wing that defends well and reliably hit 3s, and possibly create for himself.
Knicks only get stars when they come off season ending surgeries or they about to retire 😂😂😂😂😂
Willis reed would tell you that excellent team ball can win you a championship especially against the lakers fanboys 😂
The knicks need the justice league and the avengers, and it still won't be enough.
They're in the worst place to be in the modern NBA: the middle. They really don't have the depth to make a run or trade for players that would push them into that top 3 space. Indiana is better positioned to get there before the Knicks. They also have to move one of the lefties, either Barrett or Randle. As a Knicks fan I was hoping Miami would implode and Butler would become available. Add him and someone like Robinson while moving Randle or Barrett and Grimes would be ideal. They'd still need motion players though, guys who can move without the ball and actually hit an open shot.
I think it's weird and way to soon , they're basically telling the knicks media/Fan base we need another superstar to form a BIG 3 😂😂😂😂 , the absolute perfect problem is getting away from "Julius Randle" . 1 night he would be a stat stuffer and then for next 2 to 3 games he won't help his team preform for the Win or close lost. He is very one dimensional and very selfish, kind of same but different word and meaning. Lakers career i believe didn't last 4 to 5 years and he did a 1 and done stink with New Orleans in order to gain alot of attention from some big city teams like Boston, New York. Julius Randle has to Say bye bye. He is holding back major developments of Quickly who doesn't play same position now they're talking about adding him in a deal and a few 1st round picks for someone who isnt even close enough to Quickly talent on the court. Major problems with Randle is he still think he is 5'10-6'3. Bro you're 6'8 or 6'10 with Barkley size and your a powerforward not a point guard. Super talented but super fragile he doesn't want no smoke even before Mitchell got hurt. Mainly is was because of Randle presence not being their to help out his Knicks brothers. Trading multiple 1 round picks and those 1st rounders we have playing for our team won't help now or 2 years from now is getting the Hator-aide that is not for the city of N.Y.K basketball out he so inconsistent it is directly in our face , its not Tom Thibodaux or Walt Cyde Frazier its Julius. 😮
Knicks would have to give up farm and current players on the roster, youre just going to be trading points, keep current team, also how they "overperforming", they went to the semi finals last year, they are a very good team
Trade Randle and barret whoever for markannan or however it’s spelt.
Reporters act as if the Knicks are an aging team with a very limited window but fact is all their players are in their 20s… randle just turned 29 is their oldest they have cap flexibility and hella picks… they can be patient this team was literally just formed last season
Knicks need advice from ESPN like they need a hole in the head. Windy is a hater through and through, though Zach is a straight shooter.
Jalen Brunson just scored 50 lol 😂😂
Jalen Brunson is becoming a superstar for those not really paying attention. All this team needs is for RJ, IQ, or Grimes to make a leap. Not all of them just one. Mitch is already in the DPOY conversation.
Why does Chiney look different?
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE KNICKS YOU DONT EVEN LIKE US
As a Knicks fan I truly agree that the Knicks needs to add another star into the mixed 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Knicks need an elite wing. That’s it. They need an elite wing who can defend and get their own shot. Donovan Mitchell as great as he is, is too small. You can’t have 6.0 and 6’1 guards as your starting backcourt
They should trade for Anunoby if the price is right
Brandon ingram or mikal bridges
We needed Harden
