How we feeling about this signings Knicks fans ?! 🤔🔥
Go get LeBron James right now we could use his rebounding.
Im not morning the loss of Mitchell Robinson at all we moved on .
Yes Drummond is a rebounding beast still 8.4 boards last year and he got a jumper now LFGK
I’m not totally upset with this. He’s a backup that will cause some gravity in the paint. Flashes of a decent passer. Strong rebounder
We don’t want Ayton aka abumination he didn’t play good for the lakers he dam sure gonna be garbage on the Knicks
I don't hate the signing but we still need a better backup center.
did you guy miss watching us sweep the 76ers? Drummond was a joke of a defender and we always targeted him, kat and Brunson had their way with him. first game kat is in foul trouble you guys will be cursing his whole family, bet!
Old and slow. What an embarrassing move by Rose who has been asleep at the wheel while so many teams around us are now a threat. This is a joke. Phila chose HUCKPORTI over another season with this guy whose best years are far in the rear view mirror. Rose better wake the F up.
Tbh he’s a downgrade butttttttt a welcome addition
He’s good player !👍
Rose is a genius. Drummond could be our 3rd Center. We still can make a trade!
Hometown boy let's go
Ayton's character and work ethic doesn't fit the Knicks' culture
He will play more than Mitch did that means more help
Our FT and 3pts (surprised by this) has increased dramatically for the reserved center spot. He's no Mitchy, but he'll get the job done easily…his life might even improve playing with the Knicks.
He is solid and a big man. Always seems to be around the rim for rebounds just like Hart. Excellent signing. Welcome home Andre!
We want Mitch!
32 years old??? STUPID
If he stays healthy all season ,he already has one up on Robinson
I like it 6 fouls to give plus he got better with his foul shots and he hit 3 points now good pickup!
It’s Drummond and looney. They let Hukporti walk didn’t draft a center which they couldve. I really thought due to those two moves that Mitch was coming back. Go get looney and get ready to defend the title. Have those 2 just focus on rebounding and defense as best as they can. If diawara can fill out maybe he can help that front court. I’d like to see McCuller help out too and why not bring back Jeremy. We must defend and repeat
Drummond can still rebound,
and he clogs up the middle,
But playing D on the outside,
will hurt because most likely,
he'll be dropping down off the pick,
he doesn't have the lateral movement, to play up on the pick.
As far as what we have left on our cap space to the 2nd apron,
is 4.7mil left, they could only sign a vet player,
that has 8yr or less for 3.2mil/8yrs and less mil/for 6yrs or less,
and then sign our rookie to 1.4, to give us 14 players.
Or could make a trade,
trade Dadiet, saving 2.9mil for another first-year contract Center!
But it looks like Clarkson is going to be the odd man out.
Unless they could trade Dadiet for C/Moussa Diabate from CHA,
or C/Moussa Cisse (I believe he was a on two-way contract last season) from Dallas,
then we could sign Clarkson too.
Yes, after watching that video with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul,
if you notice, on his board, the teams he had listed, they all had four players for each team,
in other words, he would be the fifth player!
Then he stated that the knicks called him,
I wonder if that conversation was,
would LJ be willing to come off the bench! 🤣🤣🤣
As I stated in an earlier post, I would only ask him,
if he takes a min vet salary, and he would run the 2nd unit,
coming off the bench.
Second, the phone call doesn't need to come from Brunson,
If Brunson and the rest of the team said OK for him to come onboard,
as a backup off the bench. Then the phone call comes from the front office!
All the teams that Paul listed, LJ still wants to be the lead man on that team!
Just to add, he is doing the same thing he did back in 2010,
Selling himself to the highest bitter, when he did his announcement,
when he picked Miami. Still trying to be relevant!!! 🤣🤣🤣
His stats is better than Micth ..Last year .he can shoot 3s ..he can shoot Ft..and and can play back to back games .
I don’t hate it.
I trust in Leon Rose.
Good signing….now we need a young springy center to complement
Ayton is garbage and we dodged a bullet. If we were to trade, i’d want Missi
Love this signing we are going to need him since KAT is always in foul trouble
For what was needed, Drummond is a good pick up. But what I can’t understand for the life of me is how ppl are excited or content with this, but took issue with Lebron James being considered for a VET MINIMUM. And the fact that fans claimed to not want him here could have had an impact as to why he would change his mind about being here. I’m not even the biggest Lebron fan, but with east trying to strengthen up to go against us, why would you not want a Lebron ON A VETERAN MINIMUM!!!!??? Like it was mentioned, the organization did well with who they signed, so if they were close to signing him, it should’ve been trusted that it was something that would be beneficial. Anyway, I’m interested in seeing if they could secure another player that would be more beneficial.
So tired of this people gotta calm down. I love Mitch but Andre is a better rebounder, is slightly more reliable at the FT line, can actually knock a 3 down. You really think outside of being able to go out and guard the perimeter, Andre Drummond can’t do the things Mitch does?
Value over salary is insane. A+
I would go after mo bamba
I am deeply disappointed by this free agent signing. It is difficult to believe that this is the best Leon Rose can do
He's a scrappy guy. I like the play and he can shoot 3's 👍🏻 he can definitely rebound
We don't look desperate when looking for a trade for a center
He gotta drop 15-20 lbs respectfully.
Big time breaking news. Don't think so.
Taris Reed was right there for us at 24. A 3.5 million rookie slot. Just saying.
I’m Okay With That!!! He’s A Hard Worker!!! I Believe He Will Blend Right In!!! Welcome Home!!!
It's a great signing for us
he's a body and will do
smart for the Knicks to target who would lose out from the Hukporti signing
in the same vein, who is the big man on BOS that loses minutes b/c of the Robinson signing.
Better free throw shooter plus he can shoot so more upside. No hack a Drummond lol
I like this deal the Knicks really needed a big man to back up kat ‘ that’s great ‘ not much wealth to spread around
Andrei Drummond and Jonas Valensiunas it's a perfect back up for the "Big Cat" Karl Anthony towns same Big Body and veterans center,ok let's go Knicks,💪👍🔥🏆🗽🧡💙🙏
I'm still upset about Mitchell leaving but this is a good replacement.
Can he hit a free throw and grab rebounds!
