Quickley ššš
Heartbroken about Quickley ngl
QUICK šššš
Seeing Quickley go sucks. Genuinely the 3rd best player on this team at times. Deserved a lot better than we were able to provide for him.
Achiuwa in the deal as well
WHY GIVE UP HIMMANUEL
So weāre gonna have 0 players tonight
Sucks for quickly but if this draft compensation is protected picks or 2nds then f it I’m ok with it
End of an era, I’m sad
IQ š
We’re gonna regret moving IQ man, I just feel it.
Losing Quickley legit hurts my soul
Sad about IQ but we knew heād be gone in a trade to improve the team. Getting RJās dogshit contract off the books is a huge W
Was OGās value really this high? Quickley has had a great seasonā¦
IQ I will miss you so much š
Jesus Christ, RJ+Quickley+draft capital? I feel like this is so bad. IQ especially.
Wow Iām kinda pissed
IQ? With OG we should’ve started IQ. Fuck. I’ll miss both of them, they gave us a lot of great memories. I hate that they went to a division rival š.
Not even the biggest RJ guy but to send him AND quick for fuckin og is absurd. Leon wtf man
NOT QUICK
Y’all really slandered RJ off the team after that last game lmao.
I love this trade tho on a serious note
I thought everyone said Toronto would never deal with us
How tf Fournier still here, that should be IQ’s roster spot
Weāre gonna regret moving IQ
Knicks didnāt want to pay Quick š«¤
Sucks to lose our young guys, wish them the best but it was time we made a deal like this. Thank you RJ and IQ. Hope we didnāt give up a ton of picks and OG is an awesome fit. Letās go!
Edit: 2nd round pick this is amazing. We werenāt going to re-sign IQ and RJ is on a bad contract.
isn’t OG an expiring contract?? This feels like a massive overpay
Losing Quickley HURTS but he deserves to start and get paid. At least itās good to know we arenāt losing him for nothing
IQ deserves to be a starter somewhere. Who wants to be paid to be a sixth man, especially as a young player with potential. I love this deal, depending on the draft stock given up
Man this seems like a bit of an overpay, but forget that Quickley might be my favourite Knick I’ve seen and I’ve never doubted RJ’s effort even if at times he’s been frustrating. Best of luck and hope Quick gets the max
This feels like it was inevitable. RJ couldnāt be the 3 we needed, and IQ is gonna be a starting PG on the raptors. It stings, especially after watching those two develop- but Iām excited for OG
Knicks trend of not keeping drafted players long term still stands it seems. Only been Mitch so far.
This one is gonna hurt for the next 10 years
Rj and IQ were vital parts of the knicks return to playoff basketball. Both were homegrown and played hard. Pretty sad about this
OGās Agent is Leonās son?? Lmaooo aināt no way
I saw IQ being part of this trade and my heart shattered
There better be a handshake that OG stays here after the season or I will come for you Leon
We shouldāve extended Quickly. I understand trading RJ but IQ is a secret weapon.
There must be another trade coming. Too many 1st and Fournier left.
Wouldnāt trade either for Mitchell but gonna send both for Anunoby? Lol
This gives us more lineup balance. Grimes hasn’t been playing more than 20 minutes a game lately. That will change now.
Guys. Take emotions out of fantastic trade. We were gonna lose Quickley in the offseason because he was going to demand too much money. OG much better than RJ and is an excellent defender and can actually shoot the ball. The draft capital is whatever. Alright with emotions back, Iāll miss Quickley
I blame RJs development stalling out for making us include IQ
Sucks to get rid of IQ but otherwise Iām a big fan of the trade. Team gets a legit 3rd option along with Brunson & Randle, retains all its size, and adds depth pieces in Flynn & Achiuwa with him, all while getting rid of RJās contract & getting something for IQ before he leaves in FA. Whether it pays off or not is a different story, but for now this seems like a great move.
Need to start doing something different if we want to be taken seriously. Thank god we are DONE with Barrett.
Yall slandered RJ so hard and now mad he’s gone?? Chill out guys. This is a good trade. We weren’t paying IQ anyway and RJ has plateaued on this team.
Paying OG next season is way more logical than paying IQ the same to sit on the bench.
