This trade looks like a wash.
We gave them Carmelo Anthony.. They gave us Kanter and McDermott
Carmelo is clearly a better talent, but Kanter and McDermott are younger. They all are terrible on defense!
So for me it all comes down to this draft pick.. Can someone please tell me more about this pick?
The pick is pretty damn meaningless lol

He an elite be bench scorer idk why people are crying. Not like he's a starter.
kanter and elite in any context is just wrong. we got a couple turds and a 2nd rounder. stop hyping up garbage.

thank god you're not a gm
you'd probably trade KP for trash just to have a greater chance for doncic
He's right though. This is just as much addition by subtraction as anything else. We are rebuilding now, and we didn't take on any long term deals. I know you wanted some good assets, but there is a reason we heard names like Ryan Anderson and Moe Harkless. He was NEVER fetching a first rounder (some here even said they wanted the BK pick which makes my head spin). Hell to be honest I am surprised we got that Chicago 2nd, I didn't think any pick would be involved, let alone a top 35 pick.

Not really. Should be in the 30-35 range as the bulls will be terrible next season.

we could've done better man. the least we could've done is get t-ferg. most of this board was expecting to get him. those were the expectations

Lmao what wtf did you guys expect. And Kanter is an elite bench scorer he drops 14 in 20 minutes. Y'all act like he's anything else. We will need any scoring we can get.

That's who I thought we were getting.

People hating this trade fail to realize that this along with the NTC and his aging one dimensional game are not getting you much back. Plus the need to move on from him and rebuild is equally important. We didn't "improve" the team talent wise but, we erased the biggest mistake PJ made. Noah is the last mistake that we need to correct....somehow.
IT'S OVER! THE LONG OVERDUE REBUILD IS FINALLY HERE!!
I'M PSYCHED!
lol, well you need to relax
RIP mags

Worsened our chances tbh

Nope. But our lack of defense increases our chances to get him, and we can figure out defense later. Porzingis+Doncic+Ntilikina? I like that
So you post about us not caring about defense only to say we can figure out defense later. Man knick fans never change.
I'm just glad that we don't try some quick fixes or something. We are going to be bad, really bad, and because of that we can get good player. I'm just happy that something like this finally happens McDermott and Kanter won't be Knicks very long, so whatever. Polk377 wrote:rwb0376 wrote:Clyde Frazier wrote:
I'm more concerned with how he'll affect willy. Basically the same player, and I'd rather willy get more opportunity to develop.
I'd give the nod to Willy. Kanter has cement blocks for feet and plays very little D.

Willy will likely start due to his chemistry with KP. Kanter can have free reign with the 2nd unit and feast inside. They don't have to get in each other's way as far as development.
