    Jalen Brunson during playoffs last year was literally showcase the Superstar inside him, those midrange shot hurt CLE, that’s trade like a first pick from NYK

    They need more from Garland, only 13 FG attempts and one assist.

    The addition of Brunson and Josh Heart are 2 of the best things that happened to the Knicks for the fact they help open things up especially when Randle gets to forcing things or gets double teamed and turning the ball over.

    RJ needs to be shot into the Hudson. Stop giving him so many minutes.

    hate to say it cause RJ came into the league with that dawg in him proving everyone wrong but ever since he got that contract he’s been horrible. We have to give Grimes that starting role over him it would benefit the overall structure of the team so much
