No one currently averaging 36 minutes a game is going to come here to play 15 minutes a game.

can we draft DK Metcalf?

[spree2kawhi]

I think the Knicks are banking on being healthy and probably have spoken to Thibs about minute distribution (they really didn't, but they should). My gut tells me that we'll resign iHart, OG and maybe Precious. Also think we'll get Lowry (Villanova) and Oubre. Probably lose Bojan

Add a rookie or two to the G-League development cycle and all you said makes a lot of sense to me too. It’s not flashy but it fixes a lot of holes and avoids the 2nd apron.

All we need then is luck with health and on paper I like our odds against anyone and I mean anyone. Knicks got some legit pieces, chemistry is there, talent is there, they can play both sides of the ball. If you look at other franchises these are the signs that usually indicate a team can make that leap to a championship.

Can Tyus Jones be gotten in a sign and trade? I think Washington's pick is more valuable to them than to the Knicks or any other team, since it won't convey and probably converts to a 2nd rounder, but if they got it back, would help some in a Stepian situation way.

And, if the Knicks were at the cap but Washington was under, could the Knicks trade Bogs and the Washington 1st for Tyus, then use the dollar differential between Bogs salary and Tyus Jones and sign Oubre.

Tyus Jones and Oubre would be decent bench depth if the Knicks resign both OG and iShart.

Isn’t Bogdanovic the better player? And you throw in a pick too?

And Tyus is only 6’2”. I trust Deuce at that height. I’d rather have a scoring forward off the bench.

If we are to trade with Washington and picks and expirings are involved, I would definitely be looking at a package that includes either Kuzma or Avdija. Both can back up the 3 and 4, are young and provide something we need. Tyus wouldn't be a bad option either but I'd definitely look to get more out of it. Don't know if Kuzma would be ok with coming off the bench, but Avdija likely would.

Kuzma is a solid defender and can playmake some. His shot is not great but I think with much more talent surrounding him here he could improve his shot selection and improve on those percentages IMO. Can Tyus in a sign and trade be combined with one of the 2 forwards or would it have to be in seperate trades?

can gordon hayward be an option the knicks could go after? methinks he could be an interesting signing

Bogs doesn't play defense and the Knicks need a backup PG. The "picks" involved is the Washington Wizards own pick, which the Knicks have, but is so conditional it will never become a 1st rounder for the Knicks and winds up as a 2nd, though a Wizards 2nd round pick isn't bad, granted.
Might have to incentivize the Wizards to take on another year of salary in Bogs.

Just a thought. Or Knicks can roll the dice on Deuce figuring out PG.

Just putting out random ideas, since most of the plugged in writers seem to be fairly certain f*ck all of star players, whatever Bridges is etc, are going to be on the move.

Just keep Bogs then, I guess.

Good luck beating Boston with zero roster changes.

Dude's washed! Injury prone and highly overrated by many on this board. Some here wanted to give up high draft picks to get him a few years ago. Heck, he couldn't even get off the pine for OKC

Didn't Hayward flop in OKC just now?

Listen, he'll be content playing 15 minutes or less per game, so he should be the Knicks logical target.

There have to be roster changes. Bogdanovic and many picks hopefully get you a starter though.

With Mitchell likely to re-sign with Cleveland it seems Garland is out the door. I just hope it does not come to the rumored Garland for Ingram trade---IMO that would significantly improve the Cavs, give them a very tall frontline with Ingram-Mobley-Allen and Mitchell and Strus in the backcourt. They would be a significantly tougher out IMO with two very good creators off the dribble and a good shooter next to them.

I think the Knicks would still have the upper hand but it would be much more narrow.....like 4-3 territory instead of 4-1.

They would go from a small backcourt along with a small SF to a much bigger backcourt and a tall SF along with two seven footers....they'd physically look a bit like the T-Wolves....

Garland and Ingram just makes the most sense for both clubs. I'm already considering that a done deal. I can't imagine them keeping both Mobley and Allen. Even if they keep them, that's a very, very far reach to compare them to the T-Wolves. They don't even have a coach. And if they're a little tougher? So be it. Boston's path to the Finals was a joke.

Lmao, 4 picks and a juicy contract for Bridges is the most 2000-esque Knicks thing to do. Hot garbage.

If he were not so fragile, I would certainly welcome his playmaking and shooting.
Having seen what Fournier went through here, I cannot imagine he would trust Thibs at all.
I would bet on him going to Miami where they were able to dust off Kevin Love into a starer, OR Warriors where he can try to fill Klay's vacated role. Lakers will always be a threat.

I am not sold Nets trade an expiring contract with Cam Thomas for Kuzma...
