Um, Steve, you know, what does that mean for the rest of the off-season for the Knicks bringing in or bringing back Landry Shamet?

What, what I had heard was that there were offers for higher annual salary, less years.

I, I think for, for Landry, this is...

Look, this is a, this is a, a deal that I think is great for both teams.

Landry was such an important part of what they've done.

Um, and I think, uh, what you've seen over two years from him, whether it was Tom Thibodeau, uh, and now, and now Mike Brown, just great trust in the coaches, uh, in him.

So it's an important part.

I-

Yeah.

Hastings is 6'5", strong, athletic, uh, long and, and he just seemed to harass him and be all over him.

Uh, if we see that again I think it's a tough, it's tougher for him to do the facilitating, uh, that he did.

But I think, I think part of it wasn't Towns' fault.

I think the Knicks just were not moving off the ball the way they, they normally do.

And that, that I think from...

Look, as soon as the game was over in post-game and then again yesterday, that's what we've heard from the Knicks is they got away from what they do best.

In terms of NBA finals MVP, in your mind how this shakes out, like who do you give the edge to between him and Jalen Brunson? Because Brunson'll have the point production and maybe some of the fourth quarter clutch points but Karl-Anthony Towns against Wemby is such an important piece of what they're trying to accomplish.

Did you see that from him in Game 3? And what's your expectation for him in Game 4?

Yeah, and I will say, you know, they did have smaller guys on him, but they're not – It's not like that he's got a six-foot-three guard who he could easily handle.

Pasol is 6'5", strong, athletic, long, and he just seemed to harass him and be all over him.

If we see that again, I think it's tough for him to do the facilitating that he did.

But I think part of it wasn't Towns' fault.

I think the Knicks just were not moving.

the vibes everybody's favorite uh i'm not

i'm not sure they're immaculate um you know i i think i think the players some of the players have the same doubts and questions that fans do that media does um about you know you you took a huge risk as a front office here as ownership um you know, if they don't make a move in the summer, if they keep Tom Thibodeau, I'm pretty sure they're the favorite to come out of the East.

Uh, they may still be, um, you know, I had a column last week where, where a former NBA player told me, just talked about, you know, you can change the coach, but why did you change the system that worked really well for your two all NBA players? Um, And so I think there's going to be some, you know, I think Jalen Brunson is a coach's dream team guy.

He's going to try and do what you say.

But, you know, in the end, in big situations, I think Mike Brown is smart enough to admit this.

You know, in clutch time, they have the clutch player of the year.

They put the ball in Jalen's hands and let him do his thing.

If you had to guess where this ends up, is this a situation where you think both guys are going to have to
