Payne played a lot with KAT, because he had the highest rate of setting up KAT of any player on the team and ran the pick and roll well. Unfortunately he peaked in Game 1 of the Detroit series and went on a shooting slump / foul accumulation binge for the entire playoffs after that.

Just for fun
If the Knicks convinced Horford to join for a title run and convinced him to take 4.7M in year 1 out of the 5.7M MLE, they would have the room to sign 2 more vets at the minimum and 1 second round exception guy, while leaving about 1M left for a 15th man vet later in the season. It would be a commitment to have Mitch/ Horford anchor the defense at center for about 24 mpg each, and KAT at the 4. Knicks could sign a playmaker with 1 minimum contract (Tyus Jones or Dinwiddie maybe) and then bring back Shamet or Wright. Let’s say Dinwiddie and Shamet join, with McCullar getting a second round exception deal.
C Robinson/ Horford/ Hukporti
PF Towns/ Dadiet
SF Anunoby/ Hart/ McCullar
SG Bridges/ McBride/ Shamet
PG Brunson/ Dinwiddie/ Kolek
Incredible balance. Horford, Hart, McBride and Dinwiddie is an awesome bench rotation, with Shamet also getting his chances. To be this is about best case scenario outside of getting Giannis for 75 cents on the dollar. Knicks have to convince really good free agents to sign for cheap. That is the way.
If we get Kidd, perhaps that will help lure ring chasers. Hope the players also have some influence in luring some vets on a discount. I also would like Brook Lopez as a bench 5. Start Lopez with Towns. Let's see how this works out. I always thought Dadiet would be.
A 3/4. See that shaping up
If we do get Kidd Chris Paul will probably take the $5 mil MLE to come here
Chris Paul makes it seem like he wants to play in LA to be with his family. I’m not counting on him. He and Rose are close, but otherwise I don’t see him coming across the country to back up Jalen Brunson.
Depends. He’s 40 and this next contract will likely be his last which means it will be his last ever real pay day of his life unless he goes into coaching. If the Knicks offer MLE $5 mil but also make it a 3 year deal that’s significant that means he will be making nba money up until 43.
CP3 has career earnings of about 400 million. Let that sink in for a moment. WIth endorsements etc and reasonable management he is fine. With is family rooted in LA and often stated he wants to be close. It would be nice if he wanted to be here and its really nice you seem to have yet another close relationship with another coach or player who knows shit other people don't. Cuz your a fucking regular Woj with not cred.
IS there any thought other than him being a hard ass player that he wants to coach or you just assume all mature players are into mentorship and have great skills to coach?
While he is entitled to change his mind more perhaps this might peek into his thinking: https://hoopshype.com/2023/06/17/chris-p...
Please stop making shit up.
I think regardless if we make a big trade or stay relatively set --- T. Jones as a legit ball handling / solid shooting back-up PG would be very nice with the tax payer $5.2M.
Steady hand that could play in various line-ups.
If we don't go that way maybe a legit 3-point shooter who moves off ball and has quick release S. Merrill or L Kennard or maybe a R Trent.
Of those 3 I feel like Kennard is most legit and has nice size -- I assume his D is sucky.
