2023-24 NY Knicks trade ideas

Post #21 » by **dakomish23** » Fri Oct 13, 2023 2:42 pm

Lowe said that LAC is looking to trade an unprotected first in the future to get a boatload of picks back. Possible golden asset vs having many different assets. Enticing if true.

Sounds like a job for Brock

Fournier's scooter

Interesting ask, as swapping the two would mean exchanging non playing Fournier for a guy who can absolutely contribute and help at backup 4. It would probably take a 1st round pick.

It would also mean the entire benching of the one of the following:

Sims(who cares), Nathan Knight (assuming he makes roster over Roby, again, who cares), and any one of the following: Grimes/IQ/Donte D/Hart/RJ

Because it's the end of Hart or RJ getting minutes at the backup 4.

Which likely means IQ or Donte out of the rotation, as RJ and Grimes are going to start and Hart will backup the 3.

Wouldn't including RJ solve the problem?

Why would you trade the 2nd best player by far, in your deepest playoff run in a decade, who's 23 years old, b/c you're trading for a backup pf?

Taking a step backwards, when the Knicks are trying to take the next step forward toward contention, over a bench role, doesn't strike me as prudent stewardship.

It was a joke for Buzz.

Sounds like a Knicks trade scenario for sure.

Sounds like a trade for the Rockets or OKC

idk what a boat-load is. Would I give up 3 of our protected picks and 6 SRP's for their one pick?

I definitely agree though that a Fournier/IQ/pick for OG package makes too much sense for both teams not to happen. Maybe drop the lawsuit instead of including a pick :lol:

Toronto has too many forwards and needs guards, the Knicks have too many guards and can use a forward. Both IQ and OG have 1 year left and are looking to get paid.

IQ and a pick for OG, Deuce can get those coveted 12 mpg backing up Brunson.

Donte can take what is left of the backup SG minutes.

Towns seems to be the latest buzz.

Randle, Grimes, I-Hart, Fournier, Sims and 2FRPs (1 protected) for Towns, Naz Reid, Kyle Anderson

Towns is a great 3 pt shooter. Yes D is suspect. However Randles D has been pretty suspect too.

Towns (22), Mitchell (26)
Naz Reid (20) , Hart (18),Towns (10)
RJ (30), Hart(10), Naz Reid (8)
Quickley (30), DD(18)
Brunson (35), DD(13)

They spent a ton on Goebert, Randle in theory would complement him at the 4 better than Towns would at the 4.

Randle is on a significantly better contract.

Fournier gives them a great 3 pt shooter who didn't fit in Thibs collapse the paint /close out on the 3 system.

IHart gives them a decent complement to Gobert at the 5.

Not bad.

Spacing at the 5
An efficient, lengthy young prospect at the 4.
Still get to keep Mitch.
Gets Quickley into the starting lineup
Relieves some of the backcourt glut.

But 2 picks aren't good enough? Randle's last season has to have increased his trade value quite a bit.

If Minnesota traded Towns, they are going to want to keep Reid. Knicks would also still have IHart on the roster.

Think they would need to try to get a defensive 4 next to Towns that’s also a hustle player. Jarred Vanderbilt comes to mind.

OG could also work

8516knicks · Post #35 » by **8516knicks** » Sun Oct 15, 2023 10:52 pm

Just checking - are RJ and Randle both still on the Knicks? FO must not read the board.

8516knicks · Post #36 » by **8516knicks** » Sun Oct 15, 2023 10:58 pm

And by the way, at DD's best I'm not sure he's not better at most stuff than RJ. (considering D)

Possible Mantis. But I did go with 2 of the 3 being protected.

You are correct I meant to also include I-Hart and Fournier in the trade.

Reid is a poor mans OG but a pretty rugged defender which would be a great complement to Towns.

Randle is on a significantly better contract.

If McBride can hit shots consistently he will be fine as a backup PG when Quickley is traded. He can still be a poor man’s Marcus Smart.
