2020 Offseason & Free Agency Thread

[east fb knicks]

Problem with Knox, he isn’t quick enough, doesn’t move well enough to guard 3s. And isn’t big enough to guard 4s. So where is he going to play? I’d say he really needs to be a 4. 3 is a recipe for disaster for him. He’s going to get torched, and pout. He doesn’t handle failure well on-court

Lies knox isn't slow at all he's just a bad defender he has the same exact measurements as mpj

Fiz just completely ****ed knox up on defense with thibs and Payne here i expect a breakout year atleast 15 ppg and decent defense

We did offer 4 years, but probably around the $100M mark which wasn’t enough to sway him to come here. At that number it was probably Indiana or Boston for him, once CHA upped the ante that was the difference.

My point wasn't what we offered but even if we offered his max Hayward showed no interest in us

I didn’t say slow, I said quick. Not the same thing. He doesn’t have an exceptionally quick first step. And he’s not the best at lateral movement, doesn’t have smooth, fluid steps. That’s why he’s a bad defender. He can learn, and make improvements. But he’s only going to get so good, no matter what.

You compared him to MPJ. He’s nowhere near MPJs level of quick, explosive movement on either end. MPJ is an elite level athlete. If it wasn’t for the injury concerns, MPJ was one of the best talents in the draft

I mean if this is what CAA delivers us next year...

He’s the main competition for Cade as of now.

I imagine that it will be a debate similar to Durant/Oden minus the injury situation obviously.

Mpj is not a far better athlete than knox lol especially after that back injury but your right he is quicker but not by much

I'm not sure what you saw in knox's game to make you think he can't move lateral he moves lateral just fine on offense

Knox's problem on defense is positioning and low iq all things thibs can fix

Going to just agree to disagree then

Lol if we offered the max of course he’d be here what the **** dude lmao

I cannot do this

I cannot do this

I appreciate that by the way. You took my place lol

[Knicks Boogie]

Payton was not the problem i guarantee he's productive next year
We had no offensive system while thibs is no offensive guru he atleast has a system and Payton and Frank will both look good in a set offense

I agree 100%... plus Woody is probably a better offensive coach than Thibs. That 2012-13 team was an offensive juggernaut. Kidd and Chandler just got old on us really quick in the playoffs that year.

I'm not predicting how many wins the Knicks will have like most these guys in here and are never right but I guarantee the basketball looks a lot better on both ends of the ball and players will be held responsible!

In other news... I wish DSJ could do this in real NBA games...lol

Right, folks want to give away Knox at 20 years old. That SL his rookie year wasn't a fluke, he has had no development, no coaching, and really he should get the bulk of the minutes this season at SF next to Obi, RJ and Mitch because they are the teams future.

I'd like to see a lot of...
Frank
RJ
Knox
Obi
Mitch

On the floor together this season.

My Mission Statement for 2021: Tank for Cade Cunningham.

Every loss is a win for the Knicks.

[ewing]

I think we should just play Obi by himself. Make it fair on the other teams. Guy is like MJ, Lebron, Magic, and Bird all in one body

So long as we don’t “block” him with some Mark Madsen type vet
