Re: Sexton Convo, Update PG: 15 - Knicks most aggressive suitor

[Infinitimind]

Apparently no one wants the Knicks garbage players and picks.

There will be dozens of trades but none for your Knicks.

Even the lowly Cavs don't want any Knick garbage.

I think me and you go back froth on this topic a lot. But again we you devalued your young players and play one year vets this is what happens. There nothing you can tell me, with Robison out, you going play gibson 30 mins a game over Obi. Instead of Obi getting 25 mins and scoring 12 and 8, you have one of the oldest rookie looking meh out there.

But it’s all good we made the playoffs

Thibs would not play Obi as Center. Few teams would play rookie Obi as a Center.

The problem is Randle improved and became the main player on the roster taking minutes from Obi.

He doesn’t have to play Obi at center. He can play randle at center, who has played center for most of his career . Did anyone watch the hawks game , they just had capella sitting at rim. Didn’t even experiment Obi and randle to open up the floor for him. Just horrible , no adjustment

According to a recent report, the Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to pair rising star Collin Sexton with either Kevin Love or Taurean Prince in potential trade packages.

“I like that idea,” said Terry Pluto of Cleveland.com when asked about the possibility of the Cavaliers keeping Sexton. “I’ve heard the Cavs have been trying to pair him with Kevin Love ($60 million over two years) or Taurean Prince ($13 million in 2021-22) to get something decent in return.”

No way on Love as he straps us cap wise for 2 years. But Prince may be a Pill we can swallow. Sexton is only 6.4M.

Sexton/Prince for Noel (S&T)/Obi, 2022 or 2023 FRP

I'd hold those 2022,2023 picks and deal with the 2021 picks, since we have 3 that are all fairly good, though 32 not as good as 19,21.

Obi, Noel and 19 for Sexton/Prince pretty fair.
Actually, the fact that we send them Noel, if they want him that much, and take Prince off their books, AND send a pick, might mean Knox going out and not Obi.

That would be nice.

Of course, it'll probably Noel for Prince + future 2nd rounders.

Your trade offers work too. All for it.

Think Knox would go if we trade for a 30+ mill Max player. He is a 'small salary' in comparison going back but big for us since we are trying to field a top team next year and need all the cap space we can create. The teams trading the stars are going into rebuild mode.

So a Lillard or Beal trade could look something like RJ,Knox, potentially one of Mitch,Quick or Obi (if not traded elsewhere) and multiple FRPs

I know this is heresy, and I'm probably only saying it because I know the Knicks won't get a single one of these players, but I wouldn't mind all 3 of:

Sexton
Ball
Oubre

Where I know Oubre has to basically be the 6th man.

Only one team wins the championship. I get a team should be doing all in it's power to position itself and plan properly for the future, but if the contracts given to Ball and Oubre aren't ret*rded, and same for Sexton a year later, then the Knicks would have a team that is young, talented, still possesses some upside and is...wait for it...actually fun and entertaining to watch.

Then again, with Rose and IQ, not to mention Vildoza, there really isn't minutes for all 3 with RJ. That's 8 players around 3 positions. Unless Oubre plays some PF, which is he any more suited for than RJ at this time? Not really. Again, I'm sure a small ball team could find SOME minutes for either there, but honestly, I don't think too many.

I'd assume the Knicks are discussing CP3 vs Lowry vs Sexton vs Ball, with different members of the Supreme Knick Planning Committee each having a favorite, and are each making their case to Premier Rose, while having to account for the machinations of WWW and his Knicks Committee For Security.

Lock this thread up. Sexton is not coming to NY. Dream or nightmare (however you see) is OVER!!!

There is a lot of chatter on this one. They like Nerlens (potentially in a S&T) , they like Obi. We have plebty of FRPs in the next 3 years. We might be willing to take Princes 15 mill salary too.

I moved the recent rumor to the rumors thread. If this one gets spicy again or happens it should get a new thread.
