Trade Lee to the Rockets for Knight, D' says they need depth and Lee will provide them some of that 3&D energy they lost with Ariza.... wake up Perry!!!

What does knight do for us?

Expires after the season

Trade Burke to the Suns before he looks any worse than he already does, he's got small enough salary for just one season so it fits in their model of frugal short term options, a 2nd and maybe Melton who goes to the G is plenty enough to get it done..... well, we're waiting Perry.

this is good

Kanter to the Lakers for KCP, they need some inside presence, McGee and TC aren't enough to battle with the top teams in the west and they won't have to pay him past this season. I'd like to squeeze their late first though out of them.

this is great

Giterdun Perry!!!

Doesn't Knight's contract finish up after next season?

Hmmmmmm.... ESPN trade machine may have led me astray, it shows it as an expiring while RealGM Trade checker does show it expiring at the same time as Lee.

Yea, if it doesn't expire after this season or have a team option then I don't want it since the idea was to get off next season's cap money.

Knight expires after next season

Trade machine doesn't have entirely accurate contract lengths, it's always best to double check with spotrac

I did, but ESPN had bad info, it's just a message forum, nothing serious so get a grip.

Ok, sure, I hear ya but it's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

2019- Let Porzingis walk, sign Kyrie

What player(s) would we have in 2020 that are worth Giannis?

Uhh, what? I could see trading KP if the absolute right deal came along, but not just letting him walk. I am still mad we didn't leverage Insanity into something good (if we weren't going to keep him)

[TBri1974]

What do Knicks fans think of Vonleh?

I love Vonleh. If we keep one non-rookie free agent this year, I want it to be him. I see him as the idea backup big, able to play either position and start when needed. Maybe he turns into more. I could see them experimenting with a Robinson/KP/Vonleh rotation at C and PF. I like Mudiay and Burke, but am okay to let them walk. Obviously Trier needs to be part of the future. I liked Kanter and Hezonja coming in, but am ready to wash my hands of both of them. But Vonleh, I think he's great.

[br7knicks]

i came into this season pro-tanking. but i'm also anti-trading picks after the last decade

but since the knicks organization clearly has no clue how to properly tank and rebuild, would it be smart to offer their first round pick for a foundational player on a team that is looking to move one of their young assets? at this rate, the knicks's pick is going to end up being 10-18 anyway. would grabbing a young asset be worth it?

smart, defensive guy who actually knows the game of basketball? he's a better version of KOQ, whom i was a fan of.


knicks have been lacking smart, defensive guys the last decade or so. time for a change, as smart and defense wins games, not empty stats, which has been their MO the last decade or so.

Yeah, thats because we are not doing TANK AND REBUILD. Its just a rebuild.

Fans trash the guy picked in the mid lottery as the guys picked higher looks like a cornerstone, but don’t want to go through the losses needed to pick higher.

Welcome to Knicksland.

[dakomish23]

What do Knicks fans think of Vonleh?

They love him, for now.

When he leaves in the summer they’ll trash him.

[dakomish23]

Speaking of Vonleh

Damian Jones tore his left pectoral muscle in the third quarter of the Golden State Warriors loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Although his return will be determined after meeting with a specialist, he is expected to miss a significant portion of time.

Jones was averaging 5.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. With DeMarcus Cousins still recovering from injury, the Warriors have no healthy centers listed on their roster.

Keep the pick, unless we get some kind of crazy deal.

The pick could still end up being in the top 3, or its possible to find a good player in the late lottery.

I don't know how deep this draft is. I'd rather hold on to draft day and see who's available. If another team wants to unload a guy for the Knicks pick, and the talent isn't there in the draft, why not?

Just posing options

If giannis comes here, it’s because kp is here.
