He's not a better offensive player though...

RJ is a volume scorer. That's it. He's kinda trash tbh

Then again the Knicks suck at developing talent so maybe a change of scenery will help.

Og best offensive skill set is hes a good catch n shoot player. He cannot dribble or create his own shot and is a decent cutter. He's even regressed at the free throw line this year. Maybe change for both players will be good. Ogs best trait is hes an elite perimeter defender and that is going to be missed for sure.

Should fit nicely next to Brunson and Randle. They need just that, his catch and shoot ability on top of his perimeter defense.

Ye I like it for the Knicks too. Kind wish it was siakam who was moved and not og. Not crazy about the deal but whatever

He goin next

RJ is better than OG

more importantly we are trading 6 months of OG for 4 years of Prime Barrett.

OG gets injured for 2 months a season so come all star break he will be out.

Quickley has an arguably higher ceiling than OG.

This is an insane god like trade for the Raptors

OG is really good defensively but he is not a sniper on the wing as he is as advertised to be. He cannot create for himself other than steals, and as good as he is RJ is a more reliable shooter and a plus on defense so we arent losing that much on the D in this trade either

Precious has not gelled with the Darko system and I really like Precious i hope he does well on New York but Quickley is worth 2 Precious's

Malachi Flynn needs to move I hope New York can use his niche talents better than Toronto could

We are gonna get an entire starting 5 worth for Siakam

he is worth double what OG is.

Siakam is tested and proven and will put a team over the top without question. A Ring is going to cost you your future. Teams will make a deal, there are too many hot shot teams right now that have baggage to get rid of.. OKC being one of them

Bro...

You're talking CRAZY right now.

In no way, shape, or form is RJ even remotely on the level of OG. Period.

RJ isn't even a good scorer. Man posts like a 53% TS every season lmao. He's a below average 3pt shooter in general and is really just a volume scorer.

There's a reason the Knicks wanted to get out of RJ's contract so badly.

Lol

Now you think the Knicks are some masterminds that had this grandoise plan to sign RJ for 26 mil a year just to get rid of him the second they could

you really think the Knicks are that smart eh? What planet do you live on

The Knicks that traded Obi Toppin for cash considerations

The same Knicks that have waived 12 two way contracts in the the last 6 months

the knicks that have been bottom feeders for 25 years with the same ownership the entire time..

No ya dude keep thinking the fuckign KNICKS have got it together that will get you far

Ill explain it to you in Harden terms

RJ is a system player, he is not the system.

New Yorks 'system' is pass the ball to the guy that gets paid the most.

Darko has this thing called talent and skill which will be used to establish a ... get this... a system.

RJ Barrett will be a part of the system and because of that he is going to hit a new career highs next month tops.
