People keep saying that the Knicks need to get a Top 10-15 Superstar. NO TEAM is giving such a player up this season OR next summer either. Let me list them out in no particular order: 1) Embiid, 2) Doncic, 3) SGA, 4) Giannis, 5) DFox, 6) KD, 7) Trae Young, 8) Curry, 9) Tatum, 10) Edwards, 11) Jokic, 12) Lillard, 13) Maxey, 14) LBJ, 15) Donovan, 16) Halliburton, 17) Kahwi, 18) Morant, 19) DBook, 20) KAT EVERY ONE of these players are on playoff contending teams, except LBJ, and Trae, and they're not leaving anywhere. NONE of these 17 players are gonna sign with Knicks this summer in free agency either. Donovan Mitchell is the only superstar that could get moved, but Cleveland has already rejected multiple trade offers, and has told everyone that they keeping him past summer 2024. So what happens now? Knicks should just give up and waste 2 seasons hoping for a 0.1% chance that Giannis or Jokic signs with the Knicks? No, you go all in on Brunson and Randle, and build around them. They're only signed through this season and next. They're both going to opt-out during summer of 2025 anyway, so let's see what we can do with them. And guess what? If they do well and push Boston to a Game 7, that will definitely attract some players who might want to sign in free agency, or demand a trade for summer 2024. Having said that, getting OG, and another Top 20-30 player who can defend and perform well off-the-ball so that they don't step on Brunson/Randle's toes, is totally the right play here.

[@marcgil256]

I think Luka is still on trade watch imo. They're currently the 7 seed with only 3 games separating them from the 11th seed, and the west is crazy loaded. It's very much on the board that they could miss the playoffs for the second year in a row, especially considering how unreliable kyrie is. And if that happens or even a early playoff exit, with Luka playing at this level, I think Luka would finally demand a trade and there would be a Luka sweepstakes this summer and the knicks would be in good position for that. I also think that Trae, Donovan, and Kawhi are also guys to keep an eye b/c I could also see frustrations growing either from them or the franchise if they have a disappointing post-season. They should even consider Zion tbh. For the upside alone. Ultimately, the Knicks currently have a dead-end roster with a 2nd round ceiling at best. Its nice for now to keep them relevant, but if a superstar player becomes available, they should pounce on that immediately. It's the only way they can legitimately contend, and they have good enough trade assets to get it done.

They're building the smart way and because they're doing that piece by piece, people are apparently complaining out the ass. Can they close the gap with the top teams in the east? Absolutely. Gill talking about there hasn't been a leap in Julius Randle's game is even dumber of a take. Did this man not too long ago from not mistaken? Became an all-star was a most improved player I think. Maybe a season or two before that and carried the team to get them to the playoffs.

To say that RJ and OG are basically the same player shows that these dudes aren't watching ball like they pretend to be

[@oduff5744]

Gil has to be all nba first team no f'in idea what he's talking about when it comes to the knicks lol. Julius scoring alone (PPG) isn't an indication of how well he's playing year by year. He has completely changed the way he plays this season which is better sustainable for playoffs (favours post scoring, rebounds instead of contested long distance jumpers), and he has no problem with Brunson being the leader of the team. The OG trade was a clear sign knicks will be building to complement Julius + Brunson. It's not the final trade, it's the trade before the final trade.

[@jaredthegamer369]

Gil must not watch many Knicks games

[@Okieant]

He doesn’t watch any. He still thinks we cheer players from the other team.

The only thing I agreed with is that RANDLE has to take another leap and solidify that he is the number 1 on this team and not Brunson. Which is highly unlikely

[@TheChosen1uan]

That's extremely unlikely since he's not a #1...

[@Fsojack]

@@TheChosen1uan All nba player. Sounds like prerequisite for a #1…

[@Dnero518]

Brunson is way more clutch and focused when it really matters though, I don't think Julius can become that.

[@Fsojack]

@@Dnero518 I’m not disagreeing but Julius is the #1 because he is a 6’9 beast. He doesn’t always play like it, esp in playoffs. And JB is the #2 because he is 6ft maestro, more times than not he plays like the #1.

He only been to like 2 playoffs.. Yall act like he been there 10 times like Harden

[@Okieant]

My man had Bam jump on his back and fucked up his ankle so had he needed surgery. Played on that same ankle BEFORE the surgery and turned it AGAIN in the playoffs. And the time before that, Nate McMillan had the perfect scheme to get the ball out of his hands and he was passing to guys like Reggie Bullock and Elfrid Payton. He doesn’t deserve the slander he gets for that. That Knicks team 3 years ago had no business being in the playoffs and they got the 4 seed. People need to watch the actual games and relax

[@matttheknicksfan]

the knicks front office is elite. all the picks in the world, 2 all stars on phenomenal contracts, gritty role players and a no-nonsense coach with a legit system in place. might be more talented teams but when they see us, they get dogged. ask the cavs

[@Dnero518]

Yeah since Rose got put in and Dolan stepped back from controlling front office Rose has been doing amazing imo. Didn't get fleeced by ainge for Mitchell. He's been patient stacking up picks. The OG trade really makes me confident in him. Gilbert and them are talking about the old knicks front offices that constantly changed.

[@neiko9251]

Exactly what I’m saying. The Knicks are turning into one of the most professional and business savvy organizations in the league as we speak. In every way they just keep getting better, poised, and methodical. Leon is doing it the best way you can, the crazy thing is he almost caved on DM, but Ainge unintentionally saved him from disaster through his own arrogance and spite. Let Leon and Wes cook.

RJ has a higher ceiling, and he will reach that with the Raptors. His timeline just didn’t fit with the older players.

[@vincentbrown1872]

Gil is wrong about what frustrates us Knicks fans about Randle! First of all he had perhaps the worst performance of any Knick player in history against the Hawks in the first round two seasons ago. Then he had a bad playoff last season although he had an injury excuse. Lastly, Randle has exhibited anti-team behaviors, and we question his mental makeup. That's some fans like me wish they would trade his 24 pts, and 5 assists to some other team.

[@Fsojack]

Everything you dislike about Randle is the same issues any nba player has. Harden team first? Ben Simmons? DRaymond? If you and others want him gone, who are we receiving of equal value or greater?

As a Duke fan, the one thing that made RJ great was that he was a bucket in transition. A lot of guys in the NBA dont pan out because of the situation. Their teams put them in. Raptors won the trade, but Knicks weren't going anywhere anyway. They still aren't.

Watch Gilbert for a minute you can tell he does not watch or research his basketball enough. He asks: “Does Barrett or OG shoot the ball better?” OG is top 10 in the nba at catch and shoot 3 pointers. Barrett has some of the worst true shooting percentages in the league. Also Immanuel is the key piece for Toronto not Barrett. Sheesh 😞

[@leostoute1176]

This a 2 to 3 part trade for the final product For my Knicks stay tuned

[@inigomontoya4032]

Knicks are in a better spot given the need to make another move. This is better for continuity than staying with the same roster. I love Barrett and Quickley, even more. But OG is a better fit. We will need other players to step up or get new role players or another star... But, the Knicks have put their eggs in one basket as opposed to creating a team methodically. This is hopefully the start of that process.
