there was no parsons level contract involved in that deal. Parsons might be a worse deal then Noah. Think about that for a second. Now assess what it would take for the knicks to deal Noah?


i agree. also, i don't think frank has the kind of value where he would be the difference maker in getting the deal done. if they can shed parsons and get the 7th or 8th pick, they're not gonna choose the 9th because we include frank.


I'm back and ready for the Draft. So I'll start with critiquing your anti-Frank stance. He really showed a lot of improvement toward the end of the year on offense, including some pretty footwork, and we know he can defend and see the floor and will likely remain very long.


it's not an anti-frank stance actually, i think they would just rather have the better pick and dump parsons for an expiring. lee & frank aren't really what they're after.

and welcome back :D

Thinking about the Memphis trade long-term (contingent on Doncic being available)...

Next year is a bust with no KP. The Parsons deal helps the tank and leads to a higher pick. We have to get through 2019-2020 (give KP and Doncic a year to play together) and then Noah and Parsons come off the books.

At that point we go into the Summer of 2020 with KP, Doncic, whomever next year's Top 10 (hopefully Top 5) pick is, and a crapload of cap space.

Or we hit Summer 2020 with KP, Frank, this year's #9, next year's Top 10 pick and a ton of cap space.

If you guys don't save us from Knox I may have to openly root for your demise going forward. Leave Mikal alone!
