A way to run small ball would be to get jerami grant, jon issac, or maybe even jabari smith jr. All 3 guys could play the 4 allowing you to play julius at the 5. All 3 are rim protectors and can shoot the 3. This way you'd have your 3 defensive anchors in mikal, og, and whoever we get to play the 4.

Mitch would be better off on a different team

Given how thin we currently are at Center, it had better be an offer the Knicks can’t refuse to get rid of Mitch. He’s been my favorite player since he was a rookie; I’d hate to see him go

The premise would be trading him for a more reliable healthier center that can provide a little spacing

I disagree with trading Mitch. He is the best at what he does defense and rebounds. FYI, Mitch been working on that jump shot too. The Team is set, let’s see what we got.

Yeah I wouldn't do it before the year, I just think the spacing/injury risk combo is going to prove to be too significant of an issue. As for the jumper we've seen clips for years, don't think it's ever going to be apart of his game, would love to be wrong.

@lockedonknicks - I tell people all the time that they have to realize not everyone needs to score or shoot. There is only one basketball 🏀 as a Team each player has to play a roll. Mitch is perfect for his role and the others support that. Mitch got injured trying to block everyone because of guys like RJ, Bodega 44, played no defense. He has help now so we need to manage his minutes and play Team basketball ball. Trades is not the answer all the time. Knicks looking good 🫡

He doesn't need to shoot or score to be helpful! It's more so how he effects everyone else on the floor. Look at this tweet for some context. x.com/Ntilikina11Fan/status/1822773129707454482
