Knicks should be judicious in who they bring in. They have a very good team.

[@BXMarathoner26]

RUN IT BACK unless Knicks are able to trade for Bridges without giving up Randle to complete the Nova Infinity Gauntlet. Definitely improve the bench scoring, wing depth and possibly a back up big man if they lose IHART. Find a way to keep IHART and OG.

Def try to bring in Bridges and put him with the 3 other Cats

[@JamesEarlBonez]

No

[@frmrfr]

​@@JamesEarlBonezyes

[@ApoloWilliams]

Nah that's too much u can alienate your team that way

@@ApoloWilliams that's a fair point but these guys seem pretty level headed

[@elisharamsey7321]

My opinion, the next just need to stay focused. Keep putting more depth and experience on their bench keep grinding away on defense and be patient.

[@damienalston]

I would run it back. The only additions I would try to make is a 2 guard with size and a stretch big.

[@stephennixon9609]

One thing I think the Knicks definitely need is a big guard who can defend a Tyrese Haliburton. With Jalen and Deuce they have 2 small guards and that hurt them because Haliburton just took deuce in the paint and shot over him then made that you're too small jesture. Get a 6'6 6'7 guard or wing who can shut that clown up.I think they just need to get healthy they don't need to make some big move for another star player.

[@rell8855]

Herb Jones and malcolm brogdon

[@ApoloWilliams]

Facts

[@charlessantos8328]

We need a center thatcan actually score and a power forward who plays bully ball.We have too many guards.We look small comparing to everyone else

[@paydash05]

So you want to run it back because as constructed we have a center who can score and a pf that plays bully ball

[@lemuelmandell7838]

I would run it back but look to upgrade the 2 position. The name no-one is mentioning DeJounte Murray. The Knicks made a big push for DeJounte at deadline. Atlanta said they a✌re open for Business and no-one is untouchable.I feel Murray is a better all around fit for Knicks . Could take some pressure off Jalen handling ball all the time and really thrived in Coach Popovich system. That would free up Divo to play position he was signed for which is 6th man off bench , instant offense n. Another position I feel we really need is a stretch 5 to space floor and unclog the paint . I know when healthy Julius & OG help with that . why not try to pry Lauri Markanen from Utah . the brother can flat out shoot at 7 foot. And we know Danny Ainge loves draft picks to build with . As the Knicks standing improves the boatload of draft capital We have becomes less valuable. if We can get Mikal Bridges from Nets for draft capital, Id do it in a heartbeat , another Nova Knick . You know there chemistry is built in. But Im not trading Julius for Him & Bogey & Picks . That's getting fleeced by Brooklyn . ✌🙃🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@TERAONE]

Run it back

[@alexvasquez8352]

Bridges

[@EnjoyTheSilenc3]

I’d replace Mitchell Robinson unfortunately, it’s a guarantee at this point that he’ll be injured sometime next season. Valunciunas or Nick Claxton as back ups to Hartenstein

[@Aldo-mg3wr]

Just have everyone back and healthy,add another quality player,no superstar. They could’ve used OBToppin the second half and playoff’s,especially when Julius went down.always be careful who you let go.With everyone back that’s 10 deep,play the bench 10/15 minutes a game,that way you’re not missing a beat come playoff time.

[@seds94]

Herbs jones, caruso, mcdaniels, naz reid, andrew wiggins 👍

[@justinsane1909]

What “big move”!? Things done changed we got our guys. Maybe some lower tier bigger guys or even Mitch/hartenstein(hope not) I’m willing to let go but no big move for some over the hill superstar.

[@brucelau2023]

i wouldn't mind getting a backup veteran guard or something but yeah at least they're not getting Donovan Mitchell at all

[@timgravelle3253]

they should focus on getting healthy and stay away from everyone that people are suggesting online other than Mikal Bridges (tho I'm good with keeping Randle also)

[@TheRealJayson3]

Pray to what ever God they believe in and stay healthy. Thank god Brunson not playing on team USA

[@juanberganzo8390]

I would go after a big center Zach Edey in the draft, trade Mitchell Robinson and keep everything else. Forget about Mikal Bridges I like Randle better. He was great and we would have still been playing

[@MunchMcGravy]

Who tf are these guys🤣

[@terencew7716]

Improve the bench

[@Clint_Octane]

Re-sign Hartenstein and OG, trade M. Robinson, and acquire or draft an Obi-like wing who has athleticism and speed. Aside from that, I don't think many free agents want to play for Thibs due to his reputation.

[@bronxroots6668]

You probably should run it back just to see if we could be dominate team once healthy. But I would not look to extend Randle under any circumstance. Extending him into his 30’s is not a good investment.

[@BakiSmaki27]

The east wasn't bad.

[@khaledelbanhawy4897]

Trade Randle for bridges

[@jrr59]

I’m with Knicks run it back again with OG and Julius for sure…BUT BUT if the Knicks are intent to trade for M Bridges I would do: Julius/Mitch for Mikal/Claxton and even salaries out with a couple of dead weight bodies

[@Somerchosen]

Donte have been inconsistent and defense poor at keeping guards out of the paint

[@michaelbedard7859]

Yannis

[@phillipgrossett1455]

The Knicks should be considering getting rid of the couch the center Robinson Randle OG.
