It looks like Hart is going to be a perfect fit for the Knicks! They needed a scrappy, hustling, great nose for the ball player who’s a playmaker and plays great D! Hopefully they can transition him to play most of RJ minutes because it’s really getting hard to watch RJ play. So many missed shots, not seeing wide open players, and horrible defense and the worst +/- in most games. I don’t know why Thibs keeps putting him out there to work through this stuff while the Knicks are trying to move up in playoff positioning. Besides I’m not sure if these are things he will ever work out.
Yeah John - if I had to wager, I'd say RJ's minutes will see the biggest drop with Hart now in the mix... Thibs didn't have a comparable wing on the roster, and now he has one who is a better defender/ rebounder/ facilitator, which means Hart fits in better alongside Brunson and Randle
Grimes and Obi’s inability to hit outside shots will relegate then to the bench. RJ walks the line there IMO. Brunson, Randle, and Hart should be closers. The other pieces will be predicated on the situation of the game and the opponents’ players on the floor. Hart will be a game changer for the Knicks in regards to pushing the pace as well as perhaps motivating the other players on the team to try and really perform better when they are on the court. Now if Mitch can only remain injury free!!

I expect Grimes shooting to improve - we shall see
