  2. They could’ve had Ryan Dunn, Baylor Scheierman, and Kyle Filipowski (who I would’ve taken) for Dadiet. They should’ve drafted a center, signed Nick Richards, or gone into the second apron to resign Mitch.

  3. Happy Milkshake Monday, Happy 30 Years and congratulations on a huge win, Drill Sergeant Jay Cruise!!! You are one of my favorite idols I could ever have on this earth! I just came to reach out and say I love you so much, and I really hope you have an amazing birthday! Thank you for your time to read this message! Have a wonderful time on your birthday and I will always love you! 😎😊🥰🌹🚂💨🌉🇺🇲🗽🎸🎹🎤🎶🏀🏅🏆🍕🍟🧃🍦🎂🫰🖤💛💚🤍❤️

  6. For the center news…. Drummond is coo but I think he needs to lose some pounds off …gain some muscle and start runnin a bit more to at least have some stamina cause the way the teams did trades this summer … it’s gonna be a fast break fest this year

  10. THE BIG QUESTION IS WHY THE KNICKS JUST ALLOWED ARIEL HUKPORTI TO LEAVE? HE WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE BACKUP CENTER ISSUE. NOW THEY CAN’T FIND ANYONE DECENT. LEON ROSE MADE A BIG MISTAKE WITH HUKPORTI.

  12. Bro how many of these bums Leon is gonna draft who out of the draft has panned out for Leon Rose – NONE , he has no clue on how to draft he keeps skipping good players trying to draft who knows what and always turns out to be a waste of draft pick , Leon is trash at drafting players 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

  19. In an NBA where there are men like Wembanyama, you need big centers to compete for the championship. Absolutely. Ryan Kalkbrenner strikes me as a lower-risk option for New York. However, if the Knicks are willing to trade McBride and Pacome Dadiet to acquire Zach Edey, they would also benefit from adding this 7'4" giant.

  23. Not sure if Knicks can win again without Mitch…Jalen Brunson had an inhuman performance…OG was amazing.::KAT was great at times and in foul trouble in other times…Bridges and Hart had their good moments and bad…honestly Mitch had a lot of contribution with KAT on bench…I think NY makes a big trade involving at least one starter and McBride…Brunson, KAT, OG are untouchable..one of Hart or Mikal will be traded along with Deuce, Dadiet and change for a couple of players including another young back up center

  27. The East is stacked this year can the Knicks run it back with just Dre and Kat I don’t think so , Leon keeps waiting to grab a center is gonna hurt this team in the playoffs !
