so whats the move...Randle for who?
I don't think the knicks would thrive with Brunson and than other star taking up most of the usage and then Randle as the 3rd Banana...as well as the full time cap restrictions it would have.
Knicks have also built there identity on Brunson running the show so I don't think there are enough mouths to feed to bring in another mid 20's type scorer.
Agreed, Randle will have to go. I’m not gonna just name a bunch of guys because who knows who’s available or not. When healthy I still don’t think we have enough high level shot creation. It would be nice if the guy could play d too but who knows if we’ll be able to get that. My guess is that they don’t get anyone noteworthy this summer but maybe somebody shakes loose during the season.
Windhorst def thinks we will get someone. Bill Simmons says he thinks it only a matter of time and thinks Mikal Bridges is the ideal fit (I guess all depending on if the Nets can make another move) because keeping Bridges at some of his peak value on a bad team makes no sense for a high end role player.
It doesn't need to be a name star. It could just be someone that is seen as a very effective two-way player in a similar light as OG. Like he's not in the conversation as one of the best players in the league but he's one of the best two-way players and if we determine that players impact to help put us over the top).
I think we def need more size whether thats at guard or at the wing. It doesn't sound like Embiid is realistic anymore especially not with the jump Maxey made this playoffs and Sixers probably try to add to that roster with there space.
I think the mold for the NBA is have two high level offensive players and then have a team structure and identity with the rest of the players that are impactful and buy in.
Suns fizzled out because they had no team...they had 3 high level scorers but didn't have depth or role players.
Mavs playing well - Luka/Kyrie but then have guys like Josh Green, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford/Lively ect
Twolves - Ant/KAT with basically just role players and defenders. Naz Reid type having a big impact
Boston - Tatum/Brown and then to a lesser extent KP (but they got those elite role players like Whie/Jrue
even a team like Indy with Haliburton and Siakam are the two name players but those guys like Turner/Nesmith/McConnell really impacting playoff games.
probably getting something similar with Sixers.
Now obviously if Giannis becomes available sure...but if not I don't know who that player is. Paul George probably would be a good fit but the age and injury concerns worry me. I don't know if there is a younger version of him available but that type of player.
