Reasonable people can disagree on the winner/loser of the NYK-TOR trade, but it’s definitely a loss for the local media. RJ Barrett & Immanuel Quickley were almost always available to reporters covering NYK & always took a professional approach to their dealings with the media. – 3:30 PM

Couple of days ago, a rookie Knicks writer mentioned the franchise had been unwilling to deal RJ Barrett in a Donovan Mitchell package. Do your research. – 2:52 PM

Toronto now potentially has three players hitting above 40% on catch-and-shoot threes this season in starting lineup:
Barnes 44.2%
Quickley 40.4%
Trent 41.1%
Plus Dennis 38% and Otto 40% off bench. We will see where RJ Barrett (35%) slots in. – 1:30 PM

Knicks lottery picks that made it to the end of their 5th season with the team:
– Patrick Ewing (1985)
– Kenny Walker (1986)
And that’s it. RJ Barrett trade means that last 9 Knicks lottery rookies (from Mike Sweetney to Obi Toppin) were gone by the end of Year 5 – 1:14 PM

I don’t think OG is going to be worth his next contact, but I do think he is worth $15m/year more than RJ Barrett. Didn’t want to be in the RJ at $25m+/year business.
Quickley is a really good fit next to Scottie but surprised on the lack of draft capital. – 1:10 PM

RJ Barrett always embraced being a Knick. But he also grew up rooting for the Raptors & is so proud of Canadian basketball. Talks about it all the time. Sure this is bittersweet for him — but I’d bet if you told him he had to be traded, he’d be just fine knowing it was Toronto – 12:58 PM

RJ Barrett loves New York and loved the idea of remaining in New York, per sources familiar with the matter. But if he’s going to play somewhere else, he sees Toronto as a great option, those sources said. Obviously it’s his home city and he’s a big part of Canadian National team – 12:55 PM

I love this trade for the Knicks. OG Anunoby is an upgrade from RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley just wasn’t part of their future next to Jalen Brunson.
OG is one of the league’s best defenders, a good shooter, just steady all around. Basically what the Knicks hoped RJ could be… – 12:41 PM
