OG Anunoby - New York Knicks

[Home Jersey]

Pumped to watch OG at the Garden. I'm sure RJ will be happy to be back home in Toronto.

Quickley going too makes the trade stacked in the Raptors' favor at this point unless I'm missing something like draft picks. Will be interesting to see if they can somehow move Mitchell Robinson or keep him as the 3rd in their "big 3" with Brunson.

Gonna be tough to move Robinson when he’s out for the year. I don’t think this is bad for the knicks honestly. RJ is on a pretty bad contract and NY maybe didn’t want to have to match Quickleys FA offer sheets. It would be crazy if OG didn’t re-sign though lol.

Raptors also get the Pistons ‘24 2nd rounder…aka almost certainly pick 31. Pretty great trade for them honestly. Won’t call it a fleece unless OG takes off next summer.

OG and the NYC media is going to be .... I'm not sure, I can't really see it yet...

He's either going to be seen as a quirky basketball player or end up being the Knicks face of the franchise and global fashion icon lol.

OG to the Knicks. 

Wow, that really changes the Knicks. Like it a lot, though it may take a while. Like Quickley, but getting rid of Barrett is addition by subtraction.

Can't wait for it.

Postgame on court with Walt...

Walt: You were gracious, tenacious, loquacious, veracious!

OG: Yup.

Don't know if it was brought up  yet but OG's agent is the son of the Knicks president. So like he was always gonna end up there. Getting at least a good starter, albeit on a bad contract, in RJ. And another good NBA player in Quickley is good return.

OG is such a solid 2-way player, strong move for the Knicks. Will be interesting to see if he takes on more of a scoring role, or continues to be that strong 2-way, lockdown defender who also scores 20-30 at times

[HoosierHoopster]

OG hit the ground running in NY

7-12 for 17 and 6 boards in 112 - 106 W over the T-Wolves (who are 24-8). He did that while actually fouling out (35 min).

Led all players plus-minus in +19

As a Knicks fan , I wonder if I should buy his jersey.  Opens up space for us.

There was nothing fun about watching the Pacers getting screwed by the refs…

Yeah, I hear you

OG has opted out of his contract with the Knicks. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40429709/knicks-og-anunoby-opts-free-agent

That story mostly relates his injuries -- funny I''ve always compared him to Kawhi even when he was at IU, continues to remind of him, and just like him, he continually has to fight leg injuries. They're kind of built the same, along with their games, intense two-way players with elite athleticism and attacking play on both ends. Hate to see guys get limited by injury, and hope his career going forward, 27 years old, gets more consistent without more nagging injuries, he's a genuinely elite player.

This is why OG opted out, 5 years, $212 million. Guess who's buying next round!
