Most likely, they'll do what they did here. Draw a line in the sand at a certain offer and move on if it fails. The Hawks wanted Grimes and got turned down. The Athletic's got a piece that says they were looking for something closer to 10 where they got Cam. No dice on either fronts, so the Knicks got Reddish at a price they were willing to pay.
If they trade for Fox or Turner...it'll be a similar scenario. I'm not particularly fond of cornering the market on scoring lefties that can't shoot consistently and Turner made a lot more sense to me before Mitch got his groove back these past couple of weeks. But I'm sweating either trade because I figure it'll reasonable and take a lot of reaches to turn into something more negative than it is. Just like this deal which is most likely to be inconsequential in both directions but had 82 pages and running of back and forth. God I love Knicks fans.
Sure but 82 pages seems conservative considering we just acquired young T-Mac.
