Ehhhhjj.....let's not get to crazy. He's an upgrade over Elf tho.

All of the Knicks moves are great but I wouldn't put it past the FO to push heavy for Dame during the season and hopefully Dame does the same.

Yeah, I agree with that. I'm just hesitant to see Kemba as an asset in a Dame trade. Let's get 20 quality minute for at least half the season first.

Can you ever be just like thismuch happy? lol

For real, outside the box thinking. Good Job Knicks FO.

Yes this was major outside the box and a nice surprise. Nice thing is we should be able to manage his minutes (and Rose's) very well.

Yeah, I feel like you guys should be more excited about this!

oh hell yeah!

and deuce! watching tape on that guy has been KILLING me!

Yeah Kemba and Rose both need to be limited to 25-30 mins, but this gives us the ability to potentially always have a guard who can penetrate out there with Randle. Lots of pressure on Rose as the only other guy who can get his own bucket or pressure the D when Randle isn't going well. Now with Walker you have another guy who can get his own shot and get to the paint (on top of also adding Fournier).

Good signing. This helps with Rose staying with the 2nd unit and controlling his minutes. I want Rose at 20-22 min per game.

Omg I hope this is true I absolutely LOVE Kemba Walker and want him more than I did Lonzo Ball!

He's a dual threat PG who has a career average of 19.9 Points per game and 5.4 assists per game as an attacking PG.

Also a 4x All-Star 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019!

And last year averaged 19.3 points and 4.9 assists per game!

I hope this is true because I'll freaking CELEBRATE over KEMBA WALKER!

C: Mitchell Robinson.
PF: Julius Randle.
SF: Evan Fournier.
SG: R.J. Barrett.
PG: Kemba Walker.


C: Nerlens Noel.
PF: Obi Toppin.
SF: Quentin Grimes.
SG: Immanuel Quickley.
PG: Derrick Rose.

Miles McBride will then be able to develop behind Derrick Rose for the next 2-3 years.


That roster is SICK!

...and on top of keeping Burks, and developing IQ, and some crazy stuff coming off the bench, Luca, etc...

Man...this is happy stuff...

Yooooo I'm so fired up and excited over KEMBA WALKER!

Dude has made the All-Star team 4 out of the previous 5 years (2016-2017-2018-2019) and even last year averaged 19.3 points and 4.9 assists!


He's going to make the All-Star team again next year while proving New York with NYC heart and grind!
