Deadline Discussion Thread - Thursday 2/10 3pm - Part 2

He’s an all star.

But they have more interesting guys, not just him.

I’m not sure if I should be impressed that he’s an all-star even though his team has such a bad record or if that’s a red flag

That arrogance from a Knicks fan is surprising. They’re actually rebuilding. Like, really rebuilding. No vets, all in. Spurs are 20-34, Knicks…. 24-31. Everything you need to know is right there: they tank properly, they develop talent, they produce an all star point guard even despite major injury (plus all the others - Keldon Johnson, Vassell etc.), their record is basically just as bad as the Knicks’, yet they will most likely draft ahead of them and a better prospect. What’s more, they don’t pay stupid money for useless vets over the next four years. They only have short contracts on the books. As for Murray: Do you think he leaves anything to be desired? We could only wish for such a player and we most definitely cannot trade for him.

What you just applied is Dolan logic and I am legitimately surprised.

Good for them, he’s an all-star (injury replacement) on a team that’s tanking. I thought you guys wanted winners

[Jalen Bluntson]

Why should they? He’s not Michael Jordan

Because it shows incompetence. Between this and them wanting to trade everyone they signed 7 months ago, how can anyone have confidence in this front office?

So if someone calls and says we are interested in Reddish and they don’t immediately slam the phone down that’s incompetence?

They are incompetent but being willing to hear an offer for a borderline g leaguer isn’t one of the reasons

Trade a future first for a player...then lower his value only to trade him 4 weeks later? It's ridiculously stupid and unnecessary.

[Kampuchea]

The Knicks should immediately shut down any discussion for Cam? Not sure why people think he should be untouchable.

Nobody said that.

The rumor is just showing that the front office and coaching staff aren't on the same page.

You don't trade a first round pick for a guy, barely play him, and then look to trade him a few weeks later. That's just dumb ass management.

“Look to trade” is not “name brought up”

Jesus, bad look

I don't think Cam can be traded in a package so that tells me that other teams want him over the vets we are offering up. THEY are bringing Cam into discussions, NOT NYK. And I can see why teams inquiring about him because he has a good rookie contract of $4.7M. S**t, I would be upset if Leon wasn't listening to every pitch, doesn't mean we have to deal him. This team badly needs more talent.

Could see something where the Knicks move Cam to the Kings in a separate deal to help them get Fox. That's what I imagine they want to do and how they would navigate a Cam trade to swing Fox here...

So something like:

Fournier
Kemba
IQ
Mavs 1st

for

Fox

then a separate deal of

Cam

for

Moe Harkless
2nd round pick


Not sure if it's legal to structure it that way, but that's a way to skirt the rules and a deal that I think would pique Sacramento's interest.

If not, then if they haven't made the Sabonis trade official yet, then they could fit Cam into that one somehow.

Ditto on its way?

If the Knicks don't do anything, and that was just an attention seeking tweet, I'll never click on anything they publish, ever again.



Not that I click on their stuff that much anyway.

That was me yesterday

But Mitchell and Haliburton were like a perfect backcourt fit? KANNNNNGZ!!!!

I'll feel better if knicks get rid of cam even if it's for free no way he's taking mins from super rookie grimes.

I don't believe them. Who would be their starting guard next to Fox then?

I still can't believe they traded Haliburton I guess they wanted to undo their draft mistake (they traded their 8th pick to PHX for 13 & now ATL Bogi)

[dukeknicksirish]

I seriously think we need a Trump kind of owner who can bark at the moon and stir up some controversy about nothing and our own failures. Like "We pay a lot of money for our franchise and make everybody a lot of money and are treated very badly by the NBA."

James Dolan is the Donald Trump of owners.

His decision making and the people he hires are all Trump-style maneuvers.

He's just a quiet behind the scenes guy but his mentality is identical to Trump regarding accept responsibility, the media, incompetence in all levels of his business, etc.

If Trump owned the Knicks, he'd def say the NBA is treating us badly. Look at the calls against us. And the fact that players come here to sign deals and basically retire. The latter takes two to tango, but Trump would say it's bad treatment.

Funny thing is if Dolan acted like Trump, we'd actually be successful on the court but the refs and league would make sure we wouldn't get good picks, we'd then change owners in hope of "change" and be worse than we actually were before
