well that not really how trades work. teams don't just tell the media "we're gonna trade for [Players X]"

there are rumors it could happen, and that scares the sh*t out of some fans, and rightfully so


people already starting to say that this FO is garbage all because of some BS tweets from people trying to stir **** up where there is probably no truth to any of it. i know we have been patient for a long time but this is a new regime and we have to wait and see how things shake out before snapping to judgement

For what it’s worth. I talked to my buddy
Pretty much what he’s heard Knicks are being linked because they are extremely active around the nba covering all bases in positioning themselves to capitalize on other teams needing salary relief and seeing what the market is for moving up or down in the draft

Knicks have no intention of moving up or moving Mitch or any of there young players. Rose abs company are in asset collection mode to snag a superstar and will not jeopardize cap and the ability to go after someone should they become available.
Westbrook talk is allllll smoke and not legitimate whatsoever

If Knicks stay at 8 okoro is the guy

Teams are talking and no deal can even be done right now but you know teams are talking. You know Rose who happens to be one of the most connected people in the business is talking, you know the guys around him are talking amongst themselves if anything and weighing options. To think they aren't is foolish. Whether or not a deal that makes sense for both sides ever gets done, whether we think it makes sense or not, but for the two teams to do agree on it, that's a different story.

I'm hoping Okoro is off the board too, we need wings who can shoot

I'm really not too worried w/ defense since it's an offensive league and we do have Mitch who makes a big difference

Hey at least that's a justifiable pick with Okoro's upside. Now if it was Devin Vassell, well that would just be unbearable

if there are legs to this rumor, Knicks fans rightfully have reason to be frustrated. we've been burned too many times by short-sighted moves like these, that fans have their guard up

I wouldn't even entertain a Westbrook deal unless they are attaching a boatload of picks (which they dont have)

Clarification cause I’m guessing you think it’s a double statement by me.

What I’m saying is the reason they are talked about right now being involved in every rumor is because it seems knicks front office has made sure they have every Avenue covered. Whether it’s trading up or down and knowing what prices cost to be prepared in case there’s value they feel they should capitalize on.

However I was told they have 0 desire to move up for any prospects and they will not come off the Dallas picks. Rose and co are holding assets or acquiring assets in the event of a potential disgruntled star trade.

I apologize i was trying to relay what was told to me

Thanks ADeP7! Always Always appreciate your updates! Here's to knowing we really don't have to worry about RW and hoping Cleveland or Atlanta takes Okoro
