    What a steal by the Knicks.

    20-8.5-4.5 on only 1.5 turnovers.
    52-41-85…

    Knicks gambled and might have grabbed an all-star PG right off his rookie deal. Dallas should have paid him. Perfect player for Luka.

    Slightly jealous. Reminds me of when the Pistons landed Chauncey Billups.

    very solid player. He impacts winning. all this he only played well bc of Luka is complete nonsense. NY got themselves a good one here and a great signing for them.

    Why didn't Dallas keep him?

    Lucky bastards. That FO has been incompetent for so long that it is hard to believe that they made an amazing play here, but they did.

    Another Villanova PG. I'd be delighted to have any of them on our roster. Tough, smart, competitive MoFos, one and all. Maybe next year, when we're trying to win.

    The knicks haven't beaten anybody yet. I'd still push my chips in on the fact he's just a guy who's ok, but who is pumping stats on another piss poor team. If they get to 20-5 and he's still getting it done, then maybe worth taking a deeper dive. He can make the all star team doing this, but he likely won't be carrying them anywhere at all.

    Possible, but he was balling his ass off with the Mavs too, who look pretty crappy without him. The efficiency is not human. Mark Price-esque.

    a very good player, he has it all...handles, layups drives midrange 3s....also fun to watch...not sure if he is a liability defensively...

    Not sure if I'd call a 4yr/104M contract a steal, but okay.

    If you had decent offense next to Luka, then chances are, you'll show out offensively on a middling team like the Knicks.
