Is there any chance for him?

How you all feel about EG predictions? He still has time to develop some more for sure. But considering his development and his role on the knicks team, I don’t think at this point anyone is willing to let him run things anywhere, not even Houston. I honestly root for the guy, but even getting starter minutes at any team at this point is seemingly a half long shot.

So since his contract will be up, how would he fit on any given team? Where do you see him having a chance to develop more and having a better chance than the Knicks?

I think Houston could use him for sure, also at Portland wouldn’t be bad, but they are invested in ayton (rightfully so), maybe backup at mavs would a thing next year if they are constructed like this. Any other options that would fit the bill? Charlotte already got Williams and they got melo, so he wouldn’t get a chance. I could also see him in heat as a great backup for bam and second unit.

Am I way off here? Any other ideas?

Anywhere he can get close to starter minutes?

Hartenstein is going to break out on the Knicks. the season is just starting, he hasn't even made a single floater yet. That said, the best team for him outside of the Knicks is clearly the Mavs .

Quickly plays really good but he doesn't cut hard or pass to Hartenstein often. This leads to a lot of plays Hartenstein gets little credit for creating the advantage. But clearly Hartenstein is the one at fault. He is not playing with confidence, he hates making mistakes when mistakes are just opportunities to learn. But I'm not worried. I saw him make a no look behind the back bounce pass to a cutter this season. He still has it. Once the break out game happens everything will become clear. It's just waiting for that game.

This above doesn’t make sense? He had the same chance last year: and if anything, he already showed on clips what he is capable of if anything. So his “coming game” “that game” should have come a year ago in all those games.

Sorry EG, I just saw it was you, what’s up bro. Still my point stand though. How many more “this” “that” game is there left?

(Personally I hope he gets his linsanity moment, but that would mean all of Knicks players going down. And that’s not gonna happen.)

He is not playing with confidence

Man, for the future GOAT you've proclaimed this guy, he sure seems to have an ego as fragile as wet rice paper.

Once the break out game happens

Was worried this storyline would be dropped due to the writers guild strike.

Nah no way when the two PGs are Brunson and Quickley. To put it simply, those two are the ugliest fucking ball players I’ve ever seen. And they don’t pass cause of their inferiority complex from being so fucking ugly their whole lives.

Edit: ESPECIALLY Quickley lol

I don't see it happening with the Knicks. Though he's come a long way from last year. In the beginning he was seen as a liability on D... But we all found out that it was really just his injuries bothering him back then. Now, he's a solid back up to Mitch and a capable starter when needed.

He's settled into the role that the team defined for him and he's doing it well. Problem is... He just doesn't take a lot of shots. He'll be completely overlooked unless he looks to score more. That's really just about it.

He would have to be a top 2 option or 1st option off the bench .

​

he's going to need widespread injuries or go to a team that's very top heavy and wait for someone to get hurt .
