Why put pressure to win, when we know what we have is not enough.
Our fastest vehicle to improvement is the draft...
Been saying that since the Kemba benching era began……And why I was ridiculed by my own knick brotherens. When I said play the yoots. We not going no where fast with these vets. What that means is play your future and see what Obi looks like with Randle mins. What cam looks like with RJ mins or as we saw starter mins. Might be our most versatile 2way wing defender.
After this season we go into the off season and now we can make confident DM like trades with yoot data, knowing who fits and who impacts,etc…… Who knows, if we started this full youth movement earlier, we probably would’ve traded RJ,yoots and pics for dm early on in negotiations. But we was unprepared…………Let’s learn from not repeat the SAME MISTAKES.
Either decision results in a trade. No decision mean we continue down this same hybrid path to compete and develop. But without drafting a star in the top of the draft, we will continue to pick in the middle to bottom of the 1st and grab a solid roll player. There’s no clear Lebron type trade or player that’s available and will change this entire team.
Out of 4379 total minutes played, someone 24 or under has played all but 1687 of them? ( Brunson, Randle, Rose EF)
The FO has put together a roster of 9 players 24 or under.
Obi has had second unit minutes, like everyone else that is not a starter.
Has also had extra minutes the last three games at the 5. Not taking advantage of them.
Can you please stop using facts to mess with the narrative? Ask Rose Butler KAT Wiggins or IQ- Thibs doesn't play youngsters!
