Knicks accept -
We complete out full rebuild.
We give up alot for Payton, who is quickly becoming one of the better point guards in the league (back to back triple doubles). This kid is like Rondo on steriods with out the drama. He's a lock down defender, a pass first guy, and a great team player. Once he developes his shot, which he is/will, he will be damn near untouchable on the court. We take back peices that make sense (Bogdanovic replaces McDaniels) and (Frye replaces the first big off the bench). Dakari Johnson does alot of the same stuff that Cliff will do. We hate to give up on Jones so quickly, but he was neccassary to get the deal done. Again, we do this deal for Payton, and create the BEST YOUNG STARTING 5 in the NBA. With Payton, THJR., Parker, Randle and Okafor, the future looks bright finally in NYK! Thanks Scott.
Nets Accept - Not sold on Payton's upside- great numbers on a bad team who is not winning - which is the measure of a PG. I do like Tyrus with the experience he's had quarterbacking elite talent at Duke - big game performer. The balance of the deal seems weighted to the Nets advantage. We feel Stauskas may be the best player in the deal - but KJ McDaniels has shown he belongs from his stint in Philly - and Cliff Alexander was projected as a top 5 lotto pick earlier the season and should return to form. Great dealing Ness
Trade Approved
