I’m sorry Sir, that ship has sailed…

Also, I like how Strat “I only believe verified sources that I consult first hand” Omatic is now citing the rumor aggregator HoopsWire.com in his arguments. The man has come half-circle.

The player we are still missing plays the position of “superstar”….

The Knicks already have a guy who plays “winner” position. Now you’re just getting greedy.

The defense would be an issue obvs but that’s what OG and (hopefully) Mitch are for. Randle is fine when engaged and could probably exert more energy on defense if he was playing along Brunson and Mitchell.

Throw in IHart, hart, McBride, DDV on the bench…I think you’d have enough good defense from the roll players to make it work. And with Brunson, Mitchell and Randle you have three dudes who all can go nuclear in any given game.

Or put another way. Most nights when both Randle and Brunson are on, we can beat most teams. Against elite teams though we need them both on and RJ plus good play from the role players but that rarely happened (mainly cause RJ sucks at putting the ball in the basket). With mitchell, you could see all three of those dudes being in against Boston or the bucks, no?

I would give him a chance to replace some of IQ’s shot creation on the second unit. Worst case scenario, he fails and goes back into the hoodie. But if he shows something it will ease the pressure on Leon to get another scorer immediately.
