Knicks · Last PreSeason GameThread: 730pm vs Brooklyn (page 1)

Ron Baker will dominate tonight!!

I really cheer for Baker -- think he is hands down our toughest and maybe smartest player. I'm still perplexed how his shooting has gone astray in the pro's but still hopeful because this kid has always impacted on the defensive end and plays unselfishly on the offensive end.

Would love to see Frank & Baker on the floor together with some scorers at the other 3 spots.

Agreed on Baker and seeing frank & bake dominate the opposition on defense.

Baker is easy to root for he makes your team better in so many ways! I wouldn’t be surprised to see Baker play a big role on this team this year. Even start at PG at times this year

Every time Ron Baker scores they should play the sax solo from the song Baker Street

i think first 2-4 weeks of regular season burke will start, then Frank might take over. also thinking burke will be traded by then

I could definitely see either Burke or Mudiay cut or traded.

At first I wanted Mudiay out but I still prefer his size and vision/passing better than Burke particularly since he's a few years younger and a kid like Trier can give us what Burke would in theory.

IMO - Mudiay > Burke

Anybody think this C-Lee situation is a tad suspect --- I am hoping we have an agreement with him to sit him to avoid injury until we can find a deal for him.

Optimistic? Maybe but I really don't want anymore vets here after Kanter, Timmy and Lance. Also - Lance will be pissing us off in a matter or days/weeks.

Lance has looked great and is always pretty good when he is healthy. He reportedly put in a lot of work in the offseason and he has looked good when I have watched him this preseason. Fiz has said that who starts will be in play for awhile at the beginning of the season. My guess is that is to allow for Mario to possibly get his game together and move into the starting line up. It would be pretty interesting if Fiz started Baker at the point.

Baker has played well vs second and third string players, let's see how he looks vs starters. Ultimately, the question is, will Baker wear a suit or warm ups on the end of the bench.

Would have loved to see Trier get a start in this game. He's been one of our best players this pre season..

I am hoping we find a trade partner for picks really or a PF. agree re: lance. it's coming. I have no faith in his physical abilities.
