Right now, I gotta hope that Kevon Looney is dealt to a rebuild team and is bought out. That's where i am in life right now.

He’s having some monster games in the G league and is precisely the backup to Mikal and OG we need

Not sure but, maybe swap out the Toppin 2-way? We can't sign him to a vet mini. Not sure if he can even be given a two way though.

If you count Hart and Bridges as guards, and I do, the Knicks roster has 7 guards and 5 centers.

Look no further than that for their issues.

Oh, and 2 of the players out the remaining 5, players that could be classified as SF/PF types are totally raw and/or suck. Toppin and Dadiet.

Only the fact that Hart can swing from 4 to 3 to 2 and Bridges can play 2/3, and I guess that OG can cover some 3, prevents the roster from being a total disaster.

Maybe they can move a C for a SF/PF type who doesn't suck. Ideally it would be Sims because at least Precious can play some 4.

It wouldn't be wrong to move a guard for a PF, but no one really wants any of the Knicks spare guards, outside of Deuce, who would be stupid to trade. Oh, and Thibs doesn't trust Kolek so they aren't moving Payne in any theoretical trade.

So, maybe Sims for Cam Whitmore or someone like that. Might help. A little.

Ware about to make Bam expendable. OG for Bam. Get it done Leon

I know you have generally been a troll here, but the Knicks do need a wing who can score off the bench.

Or, they make a move that pushes Hart or Bridges to the bench, i.e. Adding a quality center to push KAT to the 4 (Mitch would start or come off the bench).

But like you said, a 3/4 that's playable off the bench would be nice.

Hart's an important part of their playmaking.

Every time I try to talk myself into Precious starting, I come back to that.
Still, might be thing to start Precious or Mitch for 25 mpg, so Hart can still play 32

While I understand it, something would die inside. This is my Kawhi moment right now with OG on the Knicks.

Better hurry! I think he’s the one and he is still very young too.

For a balanced lineup, I can see he or Bridges coming off the bench as it would help the rotations

But that seems unlikely

Based on that, we need to find a wing who can score that Thibs isn't scared to play 20+ minutes.

KAT/Mitch/Precious
OG/New Wing/Precious
Bridges/New Wing
Hart/McBride
Jalen/Payne

New wing, McBride, Payne, Mitch would be the main dudes off the bench

Thibs won't go with a 10 man on most nights.

Trade Precious, Sims, and second and go grab Oubre on Philly. That team is about to implode, and they should be looking to cut salary for draft compensation, even if its just some 2nd round rookies to round out their roster.

The knicks 9 man roster would be.

KAT/Mitch
OG/Oubre
Bridges/Oubre
Hart/McBride
Jalen/Payne

Assuming Oubre is a 2way player and not just an annoying 76er, that would give a pretty solid 9 - but Mitch would have to rebound in many ways for it to work.

Ainge would probably ask for Brunson, KAT, and both of Dolan's kidneys in order to make this trade. The tweet say the asking price is HIGH!

Let's not forget about Kevin McCullum, Jr. MAYBE he and Okeke might solve a few problems.

[nykballa2k4]

In theory we could probably move Sims+asset to ATL, Capella to DET, then Duran and draft asset from NY to DET

I think that Bagley is an expiring and under the MLE, he could be a buy out candidate.
