Wsup Chief, u been drinking! Or did u forget we drafted ROY Mark Jackson, Rod Strickland, and Greg Anthony after Pat Ewing.
RJ Barrett's weak performance the past 3 seasons couldn't hold a candle to any of those 3 guards dynamic performance.
The past two seasons Quickley has been the Knicks best SG on the court.
And within those two seasons Bullocks & Burks has been the Knicks best SF on the court.
What position does RJ Barret play again ???
No NBA team asked for Barrett in a trade since we drafted him.
And if Cam Reddish want to remain in the NBA, after his final rookie contract season, he will have to dominate the Knicks SF position next season.
PG Brunson & D.Rose
SG Fournier & Quickley
SF Barrett & Cam
PF Randle & Obi
C MitchRob & Hart
My money will be on the Knicks 2nd unit backup lineup for the WIN !!!
They go high we go low it?s a negotiation so that?s to be expected. Danny Ainge is known to be a shrewd negotiator so Rose is going to have to show patience and skill so we don?t overpay. Wait it out until the season starts or even into the season if we have to. Please hold on tight don?t fumble Rose like you did in the draftThe Knicks' latest offer to the Jazz for Donovan Mitchell:
- Evan Fournier
- Obi Toppin
- Additional salary
- 2 unprotected first-round draft picks (5 total)
The Jazz declined.
(via @ShamsCharania)
It?s not about the players in the package. It?s not about the amount of first-round picks.
According to sources, Jazz president Danny Ainge and Knicks president Leon Rose are at a Donovan Mitchell stalemate over really one thing ? the amount of ?unprotected? first-round picks in the package.

Sounds like AINGE doesn?t care about players but wants 4 unprotected 1st rounders.
Rose missed 50 games last season?. It?s why they weren?t in the play-in. No way he was their best player?. He wasn?t available.
Marc Stein reporting today that he believes LAK are involved in the NYK-Utah deal;
Lakers willing to surrender 2 first rounders if it makes them a contender?. Thinking they get a combo of either D-Rose, Evan F and Cam and BB? Utah gets RW and Grimes or IQ or Obi and 2 first rounders from LA and 4 from NYK (2 unprotected)
Knicks get Mitchell and Beasley.
Nah! Ainge made me change my mind .. this Knicks fan don't want Donovan Mitchell.
Especially, if D.Mitchell are not gonna replace RJ Barrett, or Randle in the Knicks game rotation in the upcoming season.
Question? Wouldn?t the Knicks become the New York Jazz with DMit??
Not a lot of differents in how Jazz looks with him and what the Knicks would look like, huh.
Remember, RJ must GO at all cost. Randle can stay if the offense is restructured.
More importantly is that we can?t win(championship) with DMit and Randle. So this is more window dressing than anything.
Until Dolan clean house of L.Rose, Perry, RJ, Randle, etc.
Where is the meaningful changes?? When you have a President/GM entertaining the idea(in the press) of six 1st round picks and players for a player that has never?repeat NEVER took his team to a championship. That says it a very large problem with that organization. For whatever the reason you don?t do that.
When L. Rose walk thru the doors at MSG and Perry wasn?t walking out the door is a very clear indication that he doesn?t know what he doing.
This is the comment from an article in the NY Post. Look and understand what so many other are saying and know about RJ.
Utah never wanted to be the team to pay [Barrett] ? let New York overpay for a decent but not top-of-the-line player,? one coaching source said. ?But Mitchell can wind up in N.Y. as soon as they come to an agreement on how many [first-round] draft picks are included.?
There an old saying ?that a fool and his money are soon parted?!!!
Open your eyes to what this BUM is and always will be? but you can?t? can you? because the above old saying would apply to you. Can?t let people see/know how you been lying to yourself and those that listen to the BS about #3 overall pick.
On top of everything else GIVEN(starting positions, minutes, shoots, etc)to that BUM?now money.
I for one will not forget how Mills/Perry and L.Rose has taken the Knicks to the depths of despair to not admit a very large mistake.
Wsup Dark .. We both agree on Barrett, but calling Barrett's individual raw performance a BUM ain't right. Barrett did have a decent midseason, and hopefully a good offseason to perform up to his future pay grade next season.
The talk on RJ Barrett's 4 yr $120M extension has been a quiet whisper around the NBA league GM's, coaches, players, and Knicks fans .. Good vs Bad !!!
Leon Rose took RJ Barrett out of the Donovan Mitchell negotiation .. That, does upset me.
Ainge is about to flip another NBA team .. named (Rosie) Knicks.
Leon Rose offseason antics has forced him to trade for Donovan Mitchell.
Imagine the Knicks upcoming season starter lineup ....
PG- Brunson $26.3 million
SG-Mitchell $32.6 million
SF-Barrett an estimated $27 million guaranteed for the first year.
PF-Randle is due $25 million
C-MitchRob $17 million
Amazing how close this thing got...
Per Woj's report,
Knicks and Jazz agreed to:
RJ, IQ, 2 unprotected firsts, (1 protected first attached to Fournier), 2 pick swaps, 2 second-rounders.
Breaking point was NY wanted Top-5 protections on third First. Utah wanted unprotected FRP
