Just curious as I think both of you post some pretty reasonable takes on your team . . .

Knowing what you know now, if you had an "Undo" button for the KAT for Randle+DDV trade last summer, would you press the button and undo it?


No. But I would smash the "undo" button on both the Bogdonovic trade and the Bridges trade.



I would as well but considering what the Magic just paid for Desmond Bane it isn't quite as expensive. At least Bridges has been named to all defensive teams before.
Why rely on nuance, facts and logic when you can bludgeon the other side with mindless repetition of "Duuur McDaniel's has potential :tooth and still be treated as if you were reasonable.

Not that this "has" to work for Phx, but it only makes sense IMO for New York if they can get additional assets back that make up for the age discrepancy and the lack of center the Knicks would have on the roster.
Phx has a pick in 25, but nothing in 26, a guaranteed late first in 27, 28, 29 and 30 and nothing in 31.
I would think one of those picks would have to go back to New York, let alone two but that becomes hard due to stepian rule.
For Knicks benefit would be unlocked their own picks subject to that rule and getting a center.
