Deadline Discussion Thread - Thursday 2/10 3pm - Part 2

[god shammgod]

Regardless of what the roster looks like at 3:01, the FO and Thibs need to align on how to taper down the vets and get the youth on the floor.

The FO is trying to dictate as much with the players they are trying to trade.

You asking for too much. They have no plan.

I'm asking for the bare minimum. Everyone else wants to trade the whole team and fire everyone

if you don't trade the vets, thibs will play them. he barely ever plays the kids in blowouts.

I’m glad Dragic is moved elsewhere. Prevents Rose from doing some dumb schit and giving away Cam.

is it too much to ask for all 5 of Randle, Fournier, Kemba, Burks, Noel to be traded?

I just want Randle gone. I can live with the others. I just hate Randle that much.

same, but we also need to get rid of at least 1 of Fournier/Burks to free up minutes for Cam and Grimes

[DowNY]

Leon Rose must be out of gabagool

Then they have to eventually fire him. They can't operate at odds.

Do we make a trade? Yes or No?

[Guano]

Way to step up your game in crunch time, homie

He needs to held accountable for his decisions and the money he spent last off-season.

So Chanel approves of the silence, the hiding, and maybe the moves too!

Held accountble how?

If the Knicks shed some of these contracts, it will be an admission that these moves were mistakes and that the FO is holding itself accountable.

The FO should be judged by the moves they make and their impact on the outlook of this team. Ultimately, his survival as a POBO will depend on that.

Addressing the media and reporters saying "Bad Leon, bad Leon" doesn't change the outcome. Him sharing his strategy makes him lose leverage and paints him into a corner as it will be harder for him to change course in case a better course of action presents himself.

I never wanted Leon Rose and do not think he should be holding that position by the way.

Dont change the fact that he pussy. Hee afraid of the Media and to take tough questions about this trash that he help build since he been here. Its been misstep after misstep.. At least Brian Cashman had the balls to face the Media. John Mara got more heart than Leon Rose.

What do you want him to say?

"Yeah we effed up with those signings, but we will adjust to achieve our goals" and thus let it be known publicly that he's looking to dump Fournier, Burks and Noel? That hurts his leverage and hurts the Knicks.

I don't understand this need to hear Leon Rose to be honest. I don't think it's rational because realistically it doesn't achieve anything. They're not gonna see the light because a random reporter points out the mistakes that they've made or asks them to foolishly share their plans.

Knicks reportedly thought the trade deadline was next Thursday.

Leon and Wes are too close to Thibs + they ain't firing him after he won COTY

change won't happen until Dolan gets sick of this regime

[DaGawd]

So shall it be written. So shall it be done.

Thibs has to see this. If he doesn’t good riddance.

cam isn't going to play

[BugginOut]

What are the Raptors doing? A first round pick for a half season of a 33 year old Thad Young doesn’t do anything for them. They are still getting bounced out the first round

Unless there is another move they just got fleeced
