RJ is Dr Jykell and Mr Hyde, can look as the best player on the Knicks or team Canada at times, or a YMCA dude who wandered to the court mistakenly, but yeah Raptors could've gotten more, there are 10 teams in the league begging for OG.

They also gave up Quickley who is viewed by many as the main get by the Raptors. Seems like a pretty fair trade for both sides.

What is Nico going to offer...Josh Green, Hardy,Omax?? Masai wouldn't even pick up the phone if he saw Dallas calling..Dallas wouldn't be offering Luka,Kai or Lively,so what else of value can they offer??

Oh I wasn't talking about getting og, we couldn't. I'm talking his ineptitude in

Trading kp while giving up a pick and taking back Bertans

Giving an unprotected swap for FA Grant Williams

Rj is overpaid though, so only 1 second? Seems like NY wins easily

Its not about RJ if they view IQ as the guy they want next to Barnes which they seem to feel that way.

That's what happens when you sell your Players when they have low value...this version of KP(the one that's healthy and that has matured,realized he had a bad attitude) would have more value,but they made choice and it got them to the WCF ,which then fooled them into thinking that that roster was a contender...they thought they were missing Just some minor pieces...and then last year reality hit,they saw the team has obvious flaws and started making changes...their assets are depleted,Young Players have low/zero value and everybody knows they're desperate so they're gonna try to fleece them...Mavs can only make minor changes this year,someone like McDaniels(Toronto),Drumond...they can't panick,even though could Miss the playoffs/playinn

Agree I don't see any big changes coming this season which is going to make a lot of people mad when they see all these trades happening. The need to get off that pick they owe to the Knicks so they have 3 tradable firsts I believe then can make one big move or two with picks/expiring contracts. Hoping they can get one of the players you mentioned with the two 2nd round picks they have.

I LOVE OG, but 40 mil if true is pretty insane to me.

Good deal for NY... OG will be overpaid for sure but good players will take huge contracts like always.

The new scary CBA hits again :lol:

Are the Knicks over either tax apron?

Who wants to see some goalposts move?

Luka on/off numbers have been always an argument against him, the problem was luka is the only star whose backup isthe 2nd best player on his team, 1st half of last year his on/off numbers shot up, w/o Kyrie this year they shot up again

Clearly not an indication to everyone, but Barnes has had a massive jump in 3P% in his 3rd year

There is hope for OMax...

Let's hope! He seems to have the work ethic/drive.

Agreed. He's not the answer to our problems but he's a decent backup (better as 3rd string) especially in our defensive system where we switch a lot rather then playing drop coverage. I wanted him at the vet min over McGee last year.
