So, who is going to trade for Harden?

Jeff Green 1/6mil with Houston is weird.

Got his title, gets paid $6 million to be a mentor to a young team, seems pretty good to me.

Bobby for IQ and Hartenstein works financially. Seems reasonable for both sides.
Someone earlier asked why would NY want Bobby when they have Julius and I think that's a great question.

Knicks have Mitchell and Hartenstein at Center. Good players but not shooters. Knicks need help spreading the floor.

Patty Mills would be a nice backup pg

Time to expand the league!

Just fire Horst already , his stubborness is same as Bud. Another free agency where we are just are just witnessing players flying around and we stand pat, resigning our guys while outbidding ourselves.

Can’t really do much.

4 years 50 for Donte tells me they are not convinced of his 3 point shooting. Good for him though.

Agreed. Also other teams wanted our guys. We re-signed our 2nd and 3rd best dudes. If we can stay healthy and the desire is still there, we'll be in the mix. Still need some sort of shake up at the PG position. Don't want Jrue handling the ball and being the prime decision maker.

I agree 100%. I doubt both health and hunger are there. Even this forum hunger imo has reduced. The mentality is well we won one, so we can repeat 3 years after being successful. It's a lazy approach imo and the foundations of this approach are the fear of changing something that worked once (forgetting 2 years in row that didn't work) and the lack of evaluating flaws and adjust accordingly (lack of adjustment - stubborness).

I totally agree that a Jrue trade is needed and though our D can take a step back, our playmaking and scoring can actually have a bigger impact, so the outcome imo is more likely to be a positive.

PS If ppl here wanna put asterisks on our 2 years in row of falling short is US NOT STAYING HEALTHY... well these ppl should put alot of asterisks to our ring year cause of many of our opponents got hurt.

I think there’s a lot of blame to go around. It starts with Bud and Giannis though. Buds gone now, can Giannis evolve? We will see

We had no money. The cost of our own guys salaries increased yearly. Even if Middleton and Lopez walked we wouldn't have enough to sign another star. Only other option was a sign and trade.
