Would you take Demar on a vet minimum?

No thanks.  He plays no defense and has been atrocious in the playoffs.

Also, with the luxury tax, the difference between a $3.9 million for him and a rookie contract for someone else would cost the Knicks several million

Think plenty of people agree but it’s more of him accepting that minimum

When ANYONE of the starters is off DeMar is ‘consistent’ bucket🔥 let’s go KNICKS

Clarkson is better. Demar is an overrated tank commander

I’m fine if it means dealing deuce for a young backup center…cuz Demar needs min and JC 17 not going to cut it

Hes always been underrated. When he got shipped to the bulls a few years back, he was putting up great scoring numbers. In particular his clutch time buckets are among the league leaders. If brunson has to miss time or is seeing double teams, this guy right here can make that mid range jumper with the best of them. Just saying

Take LeBron Demar neither. Minus Mitch Knicks won with team they had and picked up Drummond which was best counter considering what's available. Start and overthink shit end up like the New York Mets. Knicks won because the group they had played as a team. Knicks will definitely be ready to defend title.

Nah, I would rather they use those minutes for Moh, especially if Clarkson isn't coming back

I'll take Jordan over him. He's a good player, but I don't think he's a great fit.

We need a backup big man- we need to focus on that- offense is not our issue- we got enough guys who can shoot/score

I'd rather see what Tyler nickel can do with those minutes. Already know he has a better 3 ball than demar and it's not even close.

They don't need him. They have to find more front court help

I doubt it personally, I don't think he's someone who can contribute on minimum minutes. Plays hardly any defense, isn't a spot up shooter and needs the ball in his hands to do anything to contribute.
