The Knicks Should Turn Into a Small Ball Run plus Gun Team! Thib’s Would Just Need to Extend the Rotation to Keep Players Fresh and Cut Down On Risk of Injuries.

Josh hart will do Josh hart things while on the court but he won’t be playing the 5 can he rebound and block shots yes but precious OG Randle and Jericho will be big man rotation until we make a trade

Geez, thanks Gavin. Breast milk has officially changed forever. 😂

This is going to be a big season for Mitch. I’m fine waiting until he’s 100%. I’d rather that than rush him back and he gets hurt again.

Absolutely not, I don’t know what makes anyone think you can rely on this guy. He’s hurt every year and he’s not getting younger, he’s getting older, and your body declines after every surgery you get. It’s time to move on.

Y'all know I'm a big fan of the podcast but I've been saying since last year that Mitch should be traded. He's proven he'll never be 100% healthy and it's naive to think he'll come back and really make a difference. Btw, what happened to the mail bag? I got a question.

He probably can come back. He's vulnerable, and should not play over 16 minutes a game, no back to backs no garbage time minutes.

Stewart makes way to much, you’d have to include Mitch

The only options without giving up Mitch means Deuce is the one to go. The only salaries that match are Kessler and Nick Richards . That’s it. Go get Richards. Richards, Mitch and 10 minutes of Julius would be a massive improvement at Center.

We should not trade say pat have some confidence in tibbs let's see if he the guy we need going forward?

We should not worry we have tibbs and a deep roster e should make it work?

What you're saying time for tibbs to earn his money

Mirotic was underrated in his NBA days, better on both ends than Wood has ever been. Wood has always been an empty stats type, that doesn't translate to wins. OG, of course, is much better than either of those guys at their best, so that does illustrate Randle's fit.

What is the possibility of going after Walker Kessler?? Now with Isaiah no longer on the Knicks and Mitchell Robinson out for possibly up to half a season the Knicks certainly cannot expect to make up for the loss of defense, the rebounding (especially on the offensive side) and passing ability those two centers provided last year. The Knicks present perimeter defense cannot be expected to pick up that load never mind how the team will get waxed on the boards. Walker Kessler could easily relieve the team of those needs with his skill set and can possibly become the starting center with Mitch coming off the bench. What say you❓✌🏽😎🏀

I think Jericho can step up. He’ll be working with the starters and getting consistent minutes.

Great video bro you also look like the undertaker.

I love my Knicks but they blew it letting Hartenstein go. Mitch Robinson is a joke. A back up to the back up at best.

No way Precious and Simms should be the only choices

Is there a way to get Walker Kessler, John collins or robert williams???

Yall sleeping on Jericho. He’s gonna surprise a lot of people. Just like Deuce last year, all Jericho needs is the opportunity.

This is good news. Let Mitch heal. When he comes back…he’s coming back 100% which is what the Knicks need. The Knicks don’t usually start playing well until December/January anyway

Hes 280lbs not willing to lose weight,knicks foolish for keeping him this long

Its not surprising about Robinson. Why do some people act shocked ? For short term, use all the 6 8 guys except Randall and OG at the 5. Use Hart too. Dont want to see Randall and/ or OG get hurt.

This could be jerichos breakthrough season since we have that new coach for the 5

We will make OKC PAY!!!!!!

Am i the only one who thinks sims is slightly underrated???? Dude legit said hes not back up center level and i disagree fully with this.

🤬

Ah shucks here we go.... This is exactly why I was all in favor of trading Mitch (if the return were right). A 100% healthy he'll never be unfortunately. The front office messed up not going after a replacement harder. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come back at all this season. Thanks G&A for getting me through this summer, very much appreciate the time and effort both of y'all put in to englighten us.

i can fall asleep to these videos.

I’m all in on him playing small ball 5. But not starting games obviously, but the closing unit.

Talking about how Quickley, RJ & Grimes struggled with their three point shot in the playoffs, while Deuce's didn't. Small sample size with Deuce, and the aforementioned three former players did so as part of the starting line up, therein, more pressure. Nothing against Deuce, I think we're all learning just what he brings. Defensively he has potential as an on-ball defender.. I always feel funny about small guards, I understand that Jalen is super small.. Anyways.. Just thinking out loud through keyboard.

are there enough minutes for him???

Big year for Deuce upcoming!

Deuce can do it

10yrs ago I would have picked Morris. Squad balance etc. But I’ve realised stockpiling positions is just as important as a balanced squad. With a balanced, when a trade is made, chances are the squad will be unbalanced. You’re unlikely to swap the same types of players. But if you stockpile on guards, and trade a guard for a big, you can find that balance again. Especially if it’s better than the first example. I’m hoping our guards do well so we can trade Deuce for a big because our squad is nearly perfect assuming one of the new guards (Payne, Kolek, Shamet) show out. I’d also think we can sign both if we trade for example Sims+McBride for one player like Richard’s

I feel that Morris could make it because we already have enough guards but don’t have enough big men. If Randle should get hurt Morris could step in a kind of full that role. Not sure if he can do it better than P. O. Shamet can’t take minutes from Donte

What he lacks in rim protection he makes up for with switch-ability. He’s not dominant guarding centers or guards but he can hang with both. As for his jumper, if he can improve to a 33% clip from deep this will be enough to keep defenses honest.

FWIW, Kolek is listed at 6'3"... which is actually above the average height for an NBA PG. Looking forward to seeing him actually standing next to JB to see if that's true, but seems like he's actually not a "small guard." Small as a combo, maybe, but given his passing, he's more of a true PG than a combo.

Precious is ready. The reason we need another center is Robinson is injury prone, and Sims hasnt proved he should be a starter or backup.

Precious just needs playing time. He got better the more he played with us last season

The thing about Prescous is that if he gets any better, we might not be able to re-sign him!

We don't need any more guards.. the answer is Marcus Morris who can play the four and backup Julius randle.. Morris can shoot 3s and post up For mid-range jumpers.. during small ball we lock up the paint with Randle at the 5 Morris at the 4 Hart at the 3 Jalen brunson at the helm and Devo at the 2.. it's insane how many lineups tibbs can make..we got this.😮

as for Precious and the 3-ball - if it’s ever going to happen, it will happen on this Knicks team because he will have enough bonafide shooters around him that he will have extra split-seconds to get shots up.

imagine how this conversation changes, and our center outlook improves, if Simms comes into pre-season with a willingness and ability to take and make 10-15’ face-up jumpers.

I don’t see any scenario in which they cut Sims.

We need Morris over Shamet, not even close. Morris fills a role that we need. Let’s say Robinson gets hurt AGAIN, then we have more flexibility when we want to play Randle at the 5. Between Divo, Deuce, Payne and Kolek off the bench and JB and Bridges starting, we are fully stacked at the guards. I really hope they keep Morris, he’s a solid player and a dawg. Exactly what the Knicks are all about

I agree with everything your guest said about Dadiet. Remember we gave up a lot of our picks. We have plenty of time to let him develop into a solid role player. He doesn’t have to be Kawhi, Bridges or James Worthy. We didn’t think Bridges was going to Kawhi but he turned into Bridges. So let Dadiet become Dadiet. It’s up to him how fast he adapts. Worst case scenario we trade him for a future pick. Let’s go Knicks. 🙏🏿💛💙💪👏🏿

Any thoughts on what the Knicks may do with Rokas? He looked like the Knicks most NBA ready or complete player in summer league. Hopefully he gets a shot soon.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Agreed!!!
