Stan Van Gundy said stars don’t want to come to MSG to play for the Knicks, so perhaps we shouldn’t discuss these trades…….

SVG is certainly entitled to his opinion, but I'd argue things have changed a bit here over the last few seasons.

Well, this was a fun way to start Monday morning! I agree, if any of the above are on the table, the Knicks have to do it. Adding a similarly-aged legit star to the young core would be too potentially fun to pass up.

Also, I know they had to trade for Jrue, but the Bucks at least seem like an honorable mention in the home grown champions category, given how important Giannis and Middleton are to that team and what a long shot it seemed like for those guys to become who they are now.

Thanks! And don't forget, they traded for Middleton! If Jabari turned into the player he was supposed to, they'd have gotten an honorable mention for sure.

I had 100% forgotten that! I rescind my comment 😅

It's ok! He's sort of home grown in his own way bc he wasn't *Khris Middleton* when they got him
