Crazy game! Brunson is incredible!!
OG D on Murray in 2nd half was huge after he lit Mikal up for easy 20 early.
Robinson had great game again

So you're saying we're trading KAT and Bridges for Giannis?
Two game road trip next vs. Pistons and Celtics
Winning those and 10 in a row would be slick

I wouldn't be all that unhappy with splitting the pair.

Would you accept Yabu for Dalen Terry?
Now past the trade deadline, expect KAT to play as he should...... I love Diwara!!
Best game of the year for sure. KAT definitely has seemed like he was assured no trade is coming. His spirit is back.
Brunson looked like MVP Brunson last night. He clearly took Murray up on a duel and it brought out the best of him. Murray looks better than he has looked in 5 years. Dude found the fountain of youth.
Mitch just showing why he is a 1 of 1 specimen in this league and can completely shift a quarter, or game, or series. The highlight of the game for me by far were his crunch time defensive assignments. Having that kind of weapon to sub KAT out for when you need a stop is massive in tight games that come down to 1 or 2 possessions. Combine that with clutch Brunson on the other end and other clutch defensive players like OG and Mikal. That's why over the years the Knicks have been so good in clutch scenarios.
Do we re-sign McBride, Mitch, and Shamet? At this point you kind of have to keep Mitch. The key with him is finding a high caliber 3rd string guy.
Shamet is positioning himself as a very high level 3&D guard. Is he better than Divo at this point? IDK but you have to keep him.
Honestly I love Deuce but he might be the guy I look to move and not throw 15-20M at. I'm just not sure this team is the best place for him. He brings challenges with his inability to run point and could probably fetch you a really good return. This team needs a real backup floor general behind Brunson whether it's Kolek or Alvarado or someone else. Hard to fit Deuce in the picture with that reality and with how good Shamet is with better defensive size.
Shamet and Mitch must get locked up and will cost less IMO.

Gotta keep Mitch, IDC if he only plays 40 games a year, he's a DPOY in the playoffs. that could have been a finals matchup and he was key against Jokic and even Murray.
Deuce is expendable IMO, we haven't even missed him. Shamet is a shooter and it seems he plays better with rhytm and more minutes. and his defense is underrated. He's really looking like the DDV lite I thought he could be finally.
That being said I don't think Deuce would get 15m, seems more like a 10-11m MLE ish guy. There's not much more upside there so I think teams would pay him for what he is, which is a solid, but undersized 2 guard. B/c Deuce just isn't a PG, the team runs so much better with Kolek at Point.
but we can also just keep Deuce for 1.5 more years and let him walk if anything. sometimes a guy has more value as a player than a trade piece.
KAT is so bad yet we manage to beat top teams like the nuggets with him
Mitch can now be considered in the 5-out, but crossover 5-out
7 point double OT game and he is +22
