What is the contingency plan if OG actually does walk? Do we make an offer on Butler?

Why contingency plan for something that's not going to happen?

man I have no clue...I don't think there is one...who else defensively impacts the game on that level that would be available. That also can shoot it at a high clip and plays off Brunson perfectly?

I don't even want to imagine it because it would be a terrible look for Leon and Co.

Plan B will be to discontinue the franchise

Not possible, people have not had a chance to wrap their head around the new rules of the cba.

When you aquire more than 100% of outgoing trade you are hardcapped.

Or if you acquire a player in s&t you get hard capped.
This trade would put them way over hard cap.

Decline bogs, and then have randle + fillers to make a legal trade.

we're gonna get paul george and you'll like it

PG13 Saying he wants to play the right kind of basketball might be a hint at how the Knicks play here.

-He is best buds with Randle.

-He is CAA

-He has been a bit more durable his last 2 years.

-He is a high intangibles player and good defender (used to be elite) which is the type of player Knicks usually go after

He would allow our frontcourt rotation to have better minutes distribution reducing likelihood of overuse and injury like we saw this year

He could focus more on defense with all our other scoring options.


Not my ideal option BUT if we somehow keep Randle I'd be totally on board.

I'd like George and I would not like to trade Randle for him, but the only way to get him at 48 mill per year is to trade Randle.

That's assuming you're trading before draft. If/when he declines his player option, I think that ridiculous twitter trade proposal is feasible. Not sure why Clippers would do it, though.

Does that scenario making the trade a sign and trade change anything (with the new CBA)?

We will probably try to sign and trade Tobias Harris.

No idea, honestly. The scenarios I've read (nothing credible whatsoever) doesn't include Randle in a PG13 trade. All this is seems to be smoke and mirrors, though, so I'm not investing too much time into it.

acquring george in s&t, hard caps knicks at 1st apron
aquaring george after he opts in, would require the knicks to send more than 100% in salary otherwise they are hard capped at 1st apron

basically bogs will have to be waived and either OG/Ihart walk or randle is involved for a trade to work.

The Knicks aren't paying PG $48M

[sol537]

If PG13 wants the Knicks and if Leon and co. want PG13... it will happen. There are leverage plays that can force LAC to take a decent "consolation" package versus getting back nothing at all... which would be truly catastrophic given everything they gave up for PG13...

LAC *has* to field a competitive team for their new stadium launch and because they don't have many of their future draft picks. They're going to continue to Isiah Thomas their roster with whatever discarded talent they can find (Harden, Westbrook, etc.)... maybe they'll bring in Beal, Simmons, and Lavine next...

It very much is a bad idea.

Forget about trading Mitch, why would the Knicks trade to the 6th just to draft a SG when you have Donte here? This is the most BR article ever. Awful, awful.

[Fury]

If we do lose OG, maybe Plan B could be Donovan Mitchell.

I'm sure the Mavs felt the same way about Jalen.

[stuporman]

So the Bulls supposedly turned down multiple firsts for Caruso to only then trade him away for....just Giddy? Oof

Now OKC will draft Furphy to replace the ill fitting and flawed Giddy so get the long two way wing they wanted, sign a vet center and be set for the near future as title contenders.

Rose better not screw up all the great work he's done so far because one terrible move right now in trying to find the 'final piece' would be a killer to everything he's done.

Hartenstein, at this moment, is now generally expected to return to New York, as the Knicks have contacted opposing teams about Mitchell Robinson, sources said.
