I didn’t see the specs on this Pels deal, but if the Kings really wanna dump Hield n move down, I’d do: 9th pick & Hield for 21st. Prob grab Davion with #9.

Pels want to dump Bledsoe and are reported to include the #10 pick to do it. we could absorb his contract for that pick.
Ya'll do that Pels deal then want to strangle Thibs by midseason cuz he's playing Bledsoe 40 minutes a night

I think Grizz are offering 17 for that deal

Did we never make a good move? What about:
1) Randle sign.
2) Ed Davis double trade
3) Bullock sign
4) Burks sign
5) Rose trade
6) Morris trade
7) Vidolza sign

1. Stabilized culture and front office, headed by people with strong connections to agents/players
2. Quality coaching staff which was proven by last years overacheiving performance to finish 4th in East
3. 5 FRPs in next 3 years
4. A few young decent quality tradeable assets headed by RJ Barrett
5. Most cap space in NBA, even possible 2 clear room to sign TWO maxes.
6. A young ascending player who can be part of a big 2 or 3 in Julius Randle
7. Best Hospitals and treatment centers arguably in the world
To just assume automatic doom and gloom is a bit pessimistic. This doesn't garantee we get a superstar or two but I have a feeling we end up with some pretty good upgrades. Ranging from Sexton low end to Lillard and Kawhi high end.

Cons:
1) High taxes
2) High cost of living
3) Owner who is known for intervening
4) Players/system in place, can't just walk in with your friends and own the place (*cough* Nets *cough*)
5) Fickle fans that will boo you, verbally abuse you every bad game
6) RealGM Knicks forum
Every place has some cons attached to it. At least now we have some major pros to balance out some of those negs you mentioned!

Just get ready for some more Noel and Burks 1 style 1 year deals.
The most exciting thing you might get is Kelly Oubre on a 1 year deal.
And Elf is coming back.
We’ll see if anything the Knicks are waiting so Woj can have the exclusive on dropping their moves. That CAA loyalty runs deep
