Ignoring all the other players he's paid the same as

Dog Vanvleet is nearly 7 years older than him averages less points and shoots a lower percentage him being better is debatable

you on some next sh1t fr fr

and u still talking as if we also didnt get back other players and off loaded that rj contract. it aint like precious is anything special but for fu#ks sake we had the corpse of taj gibson out there so thats a decent upgrade .

as soon as people realize that the actual trade was IQ for OG the better people will understand. rj was a throw in to get rid of that contract and get him away where he didnt fit as a 3rd iso scorer when our 1 and 2 are already iso scorers its just not sustainable

its not, and you keep ignoring they have to pay this 40 million or he's a rental

you acting like those are lottery picks you been fu#king dizzy since the trade

If he's a rental we have a ton of cap space to bring in free agents who fit our needs. That was not going to happen if we were paying RJ and then giving quick the 25 mill he was asking for.

If OG plays for a contract and proves he's worth it I'm fine with paying him because 1 it's not my money and 2 he would show why he fits this team as currently constructed.

We definitely have enough to resign Hartenstein and either continue with Mitchell Rob or move him and sign a younger big with more of a scoring ability like a Nic Claxton or a Mo Wagner in free agency.

Bro I was done talking ball when fans wanted to give obi the keys at pf and were saying it’s rj’s team give him keys( yeah I ain’t forget) a lot of nut takes…

Bro they are 10-22 right now. They are going into the lottery this year

They would’ve been looking at having TWO lottery picks (Mem-Tor) in the upcoming draft while also not having RJ contract on the books. And they prolly could get another 1st for Siakam trade.

even if i give you vanvleet which i dont its just one player of all the random names you gave who gives a fu#k. you can go threw all the players you want it doesnt change the fact that a low iq below average def cant shoot high volume iso player does not fit in on the knicks. can we stop talking about this bum and move on to the actual good piece of the trade in IQ

Again you saying he doesn’t fit we know that man

And yes they give up IQ on top of it that’s my point bro

That ain’t doing sh1t for this team

OG making superstar money is a horrible contract

Nic Claxton and Mo Wagner cmon fam

OG is gonna make more than Josh Hart he's a taller and better version of him. So look for anything north of 25 mill per season. Superstar contracts have changed drastically to between 40-60. I dont think he gets anywhere close to that but thats what we have to expect to give Randle/Jalen when its time. Im just sweating thinking about that number but hey it aint my money

What other young centers are free agents next year? You want to swing for KAT who is going to be making 50 mill next year??

Jerami Grant contract set the tone for the market, if he plays well he's going to get 20-25 mill a year. The new TV deal and cap increase is going to make spending that much not so much of a big deal.

Again, it's not your money, why do you care if the contract is horrible? If we didn't do the trade we'd have no cap space to sign anyone.

i think ihart is gone, he playing to well someone gonna offer him a large contract

We quoting Zach fu#kin Lowe on here? This is the only time you'll quote this idiot. The same clown that didn't select any knick player for all nba last season. Then you mention the grizz picks that were offered prior to trade deadline last season in a season they finished 2nd in the west two seasons in a row. They are not going to finish 10-22 sh1t I wouldn't be surprised if they make the play in. You gotta stop doing that stupid sh1t you do to make a silly fu#kin point. Lets be happy with the move and move on but to sh1t on guys already out the door is fooley sh1t

Because Ja got suspended they were the 2 seed the last 2 seasons

In hindsight they should’ve taken that if true but that’s a big risk thinking a top 5 player gonna be suspended for 1/3 of the season

i think ihart is gone, he playing to well someone gonna offer him a large contract

Honestly, that's kind of where I'm at.
Let the front office do their job.
Listen, Rose and World Wide Wes aren't perfect, but for the most part they seem to either clean up their mistake, and or put the player in a position to showcase themselves.
RJ got paid, They recognized it was a bad deal and got from up under it.
Remember, this regime did not draft RJ.
IQ will be missed. I think he has all nba potential. Fact is, we couldn't keep him and everyone else. Yes, it will come back to bite us but it's either trade him or lose him for nothing.
I can't wait to see what he does for a full season at 30-35 minutes per a game.
Then again, maybe I'm overrating our guy.
I was one of those Obi guys who felt trading him was a mistake.
