Jokic eliminating him here and the French team he spoiled then taking the cake… inevitable :lol:

I'm pretty sure he does not want to come to the NBA at 29 years old.

Great motor and the skills look legit. But a little undersized at 6'9"....can he give Thibs level rim protection? Not a Mitch replacement imo, but perhaps a Sims (or even Precious) replacement IMO. 1 year left on his contract, but maybe we go the extra mile to buy him out?

Nov 20, 2020 - The draft rights to Mathias Lessort was acquired by the New York Knicks, along with the draft rights to Immanuel Quickley and a 2023 2nd round pick (DET own), from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for the draft rights to Leandro Bolmaro.

The guy definitely seems to have an intense drive to show people who didn't believe he could be a top level player they were wrong. I imagine he'll be extremely interested in coming/going to the NBA if the money is right.

Hard to find figures for what Lessort is making - well for me. Did anyone else see something? But let's say it's probably somewhere in the region of $2m.

Surely there Knicks would want to bring him to the NBA whilst his stock is high. Even if only as a trade piece at the deadline.

Brock flipped Bolmaro for half x (OG + Precious) + Lessort.
