He is great, but I am hoping he loves being here and takes a team friendly deal this summer.
funny… I was gonna say Naz Reid might be better
3/40 is good… do we want to even try to draft and develop a potentially better player? Would be nice to see something in the pipeline with more upside than Jericho
Id resign Hartenstein and draft another big to develop in the Sims role but not coming out the gate unless we drafted a big who is interchangeable 4/5 but with Thibs that player would have to offer rim protection and rebounding otherwise I doubt he would play him at the 5.
I know some ppl are concerned we might lose Hartenstein this summer but I could def see him getting something to what Naz Reid got from Minny 3/42M roughly as a ballpark
he isn’t going anywhere, unless the knicks plan to fire thibs and abandon the system they’ve been building for ~3 yrs
the whole strategy is forcing teams to beat them with outside shooting and basically make the paint a black hole
which is why i think the most likely outcome of this season is we trade 2 guards + picks for a forward
Why would keeping him depend on Thibs being fired
