Barrett is still very young but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded either

3 more days........I am fearful that they will just add some fringe players who will ride the bench like Cam and Evan.
I want them to make a bold move !

we have been saying that since the Ewing era !!
They are a half-way decent team now, the better play is to get a good player and play better, maybe get past the first round of playoffs. That would be about the only way to attract a top-level FA next year.

AND, Kyrie was upset that they did not trade him to the team he wanted to go to (Lakers)...I would have traded him to the Rockets

NBA has been in decline for years. Players pushing teams around, on court brawls and continuing annual decline in TV ratings. If they don’t begin to reverse soon they will enter death spiral territory in a few years. For some reason they don’t even try to deal with their key issues.

Knicks finished strong in the 4Q last night at Orlando. I believe they have done that a couple of times in the last week. If they could hold onto big leads (e.g. 15+) they would be in much better shape. Although, I think this is a problem throughout the league, probably due the proficiency of some guys to hit the three.

There still seems to be a lot of international interest in the NBA. My foreign friends always ask about going to an NBA game and have little interest in seeing a football or baseball game.

Did u mean to say "Cam" did not fit us ?
Cam was the Clint Frazier of the Knicks, but given even fewer opportunities. Thibs from the get-go was not in favor of getting Cam in the first place. The few minutes he did get earlier were so sporadic that his play was pretty reckless. It is too bad, because there were spurts where he showed he could blow by anyone.
Hart is supposed to be a good defender and even better rebounder. He was Brunson's teammate at Villanova and B was thrilled when he heard about the trade. Definitely not a difference maker - maybe they get by the first round if they finish in the top 4.
Any more moves on the horizon ??

Hart has some good parts to his game, just didn't fit the current mess we're in.

the bottom line for the Knicks was get Cam off the roster.
Like I said, this cannot be the only move they make........

talking about "mess" - we seem to be more stable than that team across borough....who would have thunk it ?? In a matter of months, they trade away 3 All-Stars.
I noted that was a bad combination from the get-go ......Suns have a great chance to win this year.

in the end, it did not happen....probably best - what I saw was a huge package, they did not want to give for Mitchell, Zack not the same.
Oh well.....we wait for the offseason......again!!
