The Knicks could have a case for just run it back and they will have a chance to make a deep playoff run.

[@meechie5k58]

Tatum & Brown averaged 1 less point than those duos while Tatum’s played like trash. They’ve also played less games than everyone else. Celtics duo all day, they averaging 50+ easily if they both play well.

[@tylerk4641]

I'd rather be the Lakers personally. The knicks aren't beating Boston or Bucks without another star. The Lakers just need to get reliable role players and a solid back up big and there among favorites in west. Lakers stars of Bron and AD out played Jokic and Murray. The problem was DLO, Rui, and even Reaves during stretches of that series looked bad. If they have average stats in round vs nuggets they probably win that series. But they didn't and Denvers role players of MPJ, Gordon, KCP all showed up and played better which was the difference in series.

Knicks gotta decide how much to pay OG (who is injury prone), extend JB (no brainer), run it back with Randle or move him for a different star, trade their picks or use their two first rounders, and if they can afford to pay hartenstein and keep Mitch. This is a big offseason for us

[@LeXiO88]

Lets be honest, the WORST duos are duos who are both ball dominant. As good as Luka and Kyrie have been, people arent scared of their defense. Meaning if you're just as good offensively, what naked you better, clutch, no, defense can stop clutch. I'll take players who score a little less but have at minimum, above average defense.
