Something about Knicks fans that I've noticed; here, Reddit, Twitter, etc .

They ALWAYS come up with some reason that the Knicks have leverage in these types of situations, and yet the Knicks ALWAYS end up losing these types of trades.

Congratulations, you played yourselves.

It was a joke - an attempt to find an "ok" player, but is that player, as a whole, that great? With the current version of Huerter proven to be better than Grimes - at the moment, just based on the body of work.
Grimes could wind up better as soon as this season.

Point is, we like the young guys, the good news is they are actually decent, but also not get carried away.
And every one of my posts is about how in one trade it might make sense to retain IQ, but in another Grimes.
Generally, I think Grimes staying makes sense in more scenarios, but not all. Not specifically.

Again, it's pretty nice that outside each players hater contingent, most of the board likes Obi or IQ or Grimes or even Cam.
I mean, imagine it's Tony Douglas in these scenarios. There might be like the one weird guy wanting to hold on to him in the trade.

People get it twisted though when people talk about an archetype of player that they mean a certain caliber of player. Grimes, for example, is a big wing who plays well off ball and plays good defense. He can create from the wings and his drive needs work.

That puts him in the Klay Thompson archetype but nobody in their right mind would say he's the same caliber as Klay. Simply that you'd look for a player with these attributes to augment the team so why not see how much an actual player with those characteristics can bring?

Well, sure, but if Ainge doesn't budge off him would I scuttle the trade if I were Leon?
Nonsense, I'd order some deli meats and get to working out the details.
Always trying to offer Ainge some Genoa Salami to take Grimes out of the deal

Brunson/IQ
Spida/Grimes
RJ/Cam
Randle/Obi
Money/Hart

Really wish we had drafted Griffin or Ogbai…

That’s what I want to have left…

Knick fans want:

LeBron
Kobe
MJ
McHale
Hakeem

What they deserve:

JJack/Elf
Fields/Douglas
Late Career Dennis Scott/
Pat Cummings/
Jerome James

Y’all can relax. No way they do a trade before the SL chip.

Leaving Frank off the deserved team is an egregious omission.

There are like 30 different lineup combinations and I started thinking of the all 6' 6" or taller players who could do everything, but then figured I should throw in a PF and C who could defense and score and I went with The Footwork Brothers

Two things.

I fear my "Donovan a Knick by 350" pages is not happening. Buzztrodamus down bad.

Also, those pimply f*ck teenagers said Donovan would be a Knick already.

Pat Cummings over Bargs or Charles Smith is unacceptable, too.
