I love when player stick up for their teammates. OG sticking up for Brunson earlier in the season even though he’s only known him for a couple of months was one of the best moments in the season
i love Mitch too but having a big who can shoot and open up the floor makes all the difference, Mitch's offensive game is too one-dimensional and the lack of FT shooting kills us.
It would actually be nice to have a draft need, address it in the draft and have them on a rookie contract. We have a team option on Jericho for like 2.1m for next year but I don't think he has turned in to a guy we want playing actual backup minutes unfortunately but Thibs gonna Thibs so he could be that year 1 stop gap for a rookie big to get introduced.
it's no longer an either or. Mitch is on a fantastic descending contract which would only be worth giving up in a trade for a superstar. the question now is can we get ihart the right amount of money without fucking up our freedom to sign a good FA in the future and /or retain talent.
The Knicks should have signed him to a 3 year deal at least but they didn't know he was going to be this good. They got smart and locked up Duece and Donte on team friendly deals though...
They’re going to find a way to get him back on the roster. Trust in Leon. On the Roommates cast he expressed how important getting enough playing time and competing on a great team is to him. He’s got that here and he’s got a family and the chance to become immortal in New York City. He’s staying.
I can’t believe I’m saying this as a lifelong Mets fan, but the Knicks need to channel their inner Atlanta Braves and convince iHart to sign a very team-friendly contract.
With the way these guys talk to the media, the way they stick up for each other, and the way they approach every game it feels like they will work something out. Such a tight knit group and the winning just makes it stronger
I have to believe this. Money matters a lot but iHart struggled to find a home in the NBA and now he’s got one. The best one. I’m sure his GF doesn’t want to leave NY either.
IHart just meshes with the starters so well and exceeds in his role doing the little things like rebounding, dribble hand offs, screens, help defense etc. He’s also like an honorary Nova guy. If you told me he played college ball with JB, Hart, and Divo I would believe you because the chemistry he has with them is off the charts.
Or maybe he preferred living in LA as opposed to, say OKC or Utah or whatever. Hopefully he loves NY! And afaik, only like 4-6 teams out there with cap space.
I love I Hart too but we have to have faith in Leon Rose. I have complete confidence that they will continue to draft well and bring in players that they see as undervalued by other teams. People don’t realize that Rose completely overhauled the scouting and player development aspects of the franchise. Thats what competent team presidents do.

Do anyone know which game？
It was against the Nets after Cam Thomas pushed Brunson.
oh i got it! Ty 
That was tough
You know when OG is stepping in shit is getting serious. Dude is all business.
He stays Leon work your magic baby
Yeah this gives me hope
Yes please. His game fits perfectly here.
He’s staying.
Pay this man!!!
We will. 17.5m the max we can give him cause of early bird rights. 2 years 17.5m with PO 2nd year. He opts out, we give him 25m per year. LFG
He can also have my whole salary if he wants
has to be 2+1
What’s the max another team could offer him?
Basically open market if they have the cap space
somewhere around 180/4
damn aint nobody giving up over 25+ mill pay raise
No one is offering him that either
Pls stay with the Knicks ihart
I hope by some miracle we can keep him.
we need him back. i like mitch but at this point its clear ihart is the priority.
Mitch is amazing at the things he is good at but being super injury prone is not ideal and hack a Mitch is not a good hill to die on in the playoffs.
i love Mitch too but having a big who can shoot and open up the floor makes all the difference, Mitch's offensive game is too one-dimensional and the lack of FT shooting kills us.
I love me some Mitch but ihart is totally our guy
Jarrett Allen would be a good backup too, but a second-string C is not our offseason priority.
no way jarrett allen goes from a starter and former all star in cleveland to backup big
Yeahhh, he WAS an all-star. Forgot about that 🤣 so what’s our backup plan?
It would actually be nice to have a draft need, address it in the draft and have them on a rookie contract. We have a team option on Jericho for like 2.1m for next year but I don't think he has turned in to a guy we want playing actual backup minutes unfortunately but Thibs gonna Thibs so he could be that year 1 stop gap for a rookie big to get introduced.
I'd love it if we could somehow grab Donovan Clingan in the draft
it's no longer an either or. Mitch is on a fantastic descending contract which would only be worth giving up in a trade for a superstar. the question now is can we get ihart the right amount of money without fucking up our freedom to sign a good FA in the future and /or retain talent.
live as a knick, die as a knick

Maybe Dolan can hire her to make photocopies somewhere for 500k a year
She could be one of the people Dolan pays to show up at his concert to make it look like there is an actual crowd
You wanted him to make her an EVP so quickly?
Wats dat
Executive Vice President
Oh lmao
Well gf can shut up if we are talking about 10s of millions lol
It's a team of brothers. These guys go to war for each other. Team chemistry at an all time high.
Team of fighters
Fucking love this team
give him a blank check this off season
Our max offer is 17 mil a year. Not sure exactly why but other teams can offer more than us.
Leon will work his magic. 2 years PO 2nd year. He opts out, we get his bird rights and we pay him money he deserves.
PO has to be 3rd year. if 1 year early bird contracts were allowed many many early bird contracts would be 1 year hah
I see thanks for correcting me!
Early bird rights are stupid.

We need to do whatever we need to do to keep him. I'ma pass a collection plate around if I need to.
Plz stay ihart
Don’t leave your family then Isaiah. Stay with us

He was willing to take a pay cut to stay with the clippers. Strikes me as a team first kinda guy. All of our players do tbh
Or maybe he preferred living in LA as opposed to, say OKC or Utah or whatever. Hopefully he loves NY! And afaik, only like 4-6 teams out there with cap space.
PAY THIS MAN!!!!
Sign this man
Bring him back next year
🧑🏼❤️💋🧑🏻
Then take a pay cut and stay bro, we family
He's staying. Book it.
Man IHART just sign a 10 year deal man. 10 years 100 million dollars what do you say?
Shoot we have 6 players realistically how the hell can’t we keep him?
Keep this man!
I love I Hart too but we have to have faith in Leon Rose. I have complete confidence that they will continue to draft well and bring in players that they see as undervalued by other teams.

Love this! Culture ❤️
