I can’t really tell what Kolek and Dadiet‘s value might be around the league, but I’ve got a funny feeling that this makes enough sense financially and strategically for both sides and when I’ve felt that before, we traded for OG, then Towns, then Bridges. Again, not to brag at all, I was very wrong on Brunson and didn’t see the Hart trade coming at all. I’m also not saying this will happen because after all, Robinson is very, very good - might as well just start him instead.


I like the idea, just saying I don't try to get too deep into trades that aren't actually being discussed or AT LEAST rumors. Back in the day I would have plenty of ideas to push. I think after the 2024 TDL passed and we did nothing to address the actual depth pieces we needed I was completely done with trade scenarios. I was a broken record with two or three trades myself. Kessler/Sexton was one. Olynyk/Brogdon I think was another. It didn't matter. We got Bogs/Burks and it was stupid. I remember trying to replace Evans salary forward with trades too. It was all for nothing. :lol:


That is the conclusion you came to and that's cool.

I take pride in looking at all the behind the scenes connections and variables which could drive a trade. Its kind of something I enjoy a lot (as you can probably tell lol)

I am very careful to try and handicap the probability of the trade as best I can and don't post trades on guys unless I have researched there is a chance they could be available combined with how the organization thinks combined with the fit of that player within the current roster.

I don't get them all right. No one does. But my hit rate for such a difficult to predict thing is pretty good....


Do you feel attacked or something? I have said nothing but good things about the work you put in, The ball busting that it's dozens of pages is all I have ever said about it. We get it. You want Giannis/JJJ(2 guys not on the market yet) or Smith/Kessler for Mikal. We get it. EVERYONE gets it. :lol: Hope it works out for you. :lol: I wanted Sexton/Kessler two years ago among other trades. I pushed it. Not as hard as you are but, almost. :rofl:

I personally won't get that deep with it anymore. That's all. Sorry that has you feeling some sort of way. Your 4 team 11 player random pick trades are a masterpiece. Have at it bro. We have all seen them once or twice... per page....for the last 80 pages. :lol:

I don't really engage in trade ideas that are not actual trades being discussed. It's a waste of time to me. We can trade check any player we want to the Knicks. For what? I understand why others do it. I just don't bother.

I'm more interested in what we can do with our limited cap to find the players we need. At least I can try make sense of reality vs dream trade scenarios that other teams can just say no to. I haven't done a deep dive this year yet. Haven't even tried honestly.

I used to do both. Then the team did something completely different anyway. :lol: A lot of the times it was something bad. I gave up wasting my time.

IMO opinion the team only needs some tweaks. I love the starting 5 but, would prefer someone other than Hart in there. I also want to keep Hart. That means one of Deuce/Mitch would have to move into the starting 5 without a trade. We need a true backup PG. Another wing. A backup C who can split time with Mitch.

So as the days go by not having a HC I don't really know who or what to look at. If we are gonna run a different system, who fits the mold? What lineup change makes the most sense? What bench pieces make the most sense. Do we even make a lineup change? Etc.

I think I will just sit back and wait impatiently for the decisions and just react to that. I don't have the same fire and desire to put in the legwork. Six is the man for the job! :lift:


Because of the more than iffy nature of Robinson getting injured I'd be all for it.

It keeps the main core intact including keeping Bridges. Its not a bad trade idea at all on a site called REALGM and on a thread made for trades and transactions (including proposed ones).

Is that enough for Ainge though in the stage of rebuild he is with his team ? Im not sure.

You rarely can figure out what that guy is thinking....he may want prime 1st round picks more and my Kessler/Jabari trade gives him that (with the drawback of giving up Mikal). I also love the Jabari fit in the front court as a more mobile rim protector/defender to put around KAT.


Where did I say it wasn't a good idea? Where did I say I don't think it belongs in real GM trade thread?

I wanted this trade when we actually had the pieces to make it happen. That ship has sailed. Ainge hates the Knicks. He tries to play us at every turn. From DM to Kessler. He just uses us to drive up the price. Kessler has far more value now than he did a year and a half ago when Ainge wanted 2 FRPs We don't have multiple picks to get him with. Ainge is involved.

That's as deep as I wanna go. If it is rumored we are pursuing it, count me in.


You misinterpret me bruddah man. I aint calling you out at all. I am acknowledging your perspective.

That is a guy that is near IDEAL as a ,Brunson back up and back up 2. Much better than Cam anyways.

Looking at the game logs of Dadiet, Kolek and Huk it would seem only Kolek has promise. In any game (4) he played 19 or 20 min (his tops) he had at least 7 assists. Neither Dadiet nor Huk showed much scoring or rebounding, even in similar minutes (close to a half game). For all the occasional buzz here on Dadiet and Huk there seems little to support it. Maybe the Knicks see if they show anything in SL and if not, move on? I mean even Cam the Radish showed more.

Sexton/Kessler is a dead deal now. Sexton is a 19mil expiring and Kessler is on a 4.9 mil TO looking to get paid. What can we offer that makes sense for the Jazz? Nothing.

Kessler for Deuce(4.3) we are over half a million shy. So adding Dadiet or whatever makes sense. We just need multiple FRPs. I know where you will get them from. I:lol: I can't see the Knicks doing that unless the next HC wants it. I just don't know how much time we have on that front.

In the end...we would be trading Bogs/trash + Deuce/filler + at least 5 FRPs for Smith/Kessler/filler. That would be the math after the dust clears with Mikal in this scenario. That's what the FO is looking at.

Mikal and Mitch get extended, IMO. Doesn’t make sense not to after their playoff performance and what value they’ll have around the league. No brainer, actually.

Then you just gotta get a guy like Hortford for the minimum and we’ll be set with a quality coach. No need to reinvent the wheel. This team has top end talent.

I think they can take a pit of the TPMLE and add it to a minimum and then offer two 9 mil 2 year contracts, which is not a lot but there isn’t a lot of money out there. There are a few decent players out there who will take that because 9 mil is 9 mil and it’s better than a show it and prove it contract or playing overseas.

You gotta give Kolek a chance they picked him early in the 2nd round...he needs to be given a shot to earn minutes. You can also get by bringing back Delon Wright at the minimum as well.

Any $$$ we spend (the TPMLE) should got to a wing with some size that can shoot.
