Let Danny Ainge Rot

[Black Jack]

He won’t budge on his ask of SIX first round picks? No problem, let Mitchell ruin your tank and just have yourself a disgruntled superstar. We have all the assets and therefore we, the Knicks, can dictate how this goes down.

Don’t wanna trade us D Mitchell? Hey Brooklyn, how’s Randle, 4 firsts, and D Rose for KD?

We have 8 firsts at our disposal, don’t mess this up, and like I been saying since this regime took over, I’ve got faith in them not messing this up.

Even four firsts is a lot of picks, but if we can do fournier, Reddish, 4 firsts, I’m into it. If not let Danny [and unfortunately, Donovan] rot.

The less we give up in a Mitchell deal the more we have for a follow up deal to pair another star next to RJ:Brunson:Mitchell.

Yes, Randle and 3 or 4 firsts can get you something in this market.

how Knicks' fan thinks their assets look.



how Knicks assets really look.

Har har har.

If these assets weren't so valuable, why is Ainge so adamant about grabbing as many as he can?

Unprotected future Knicks draft picks are definitely a tier 1 asset.

[BlackThought]

How has no one commented on the confidence this guy has in Randle, Rose and 4 FRP netting Kevin Durant?

Like, really?

if Durant somehow ends up on the Knicks the next time they play the Warriors I can see Draymond saying "Damn wtf happened to you?"

Definitely. Those are like gold at this point. A store of value asset proven over a long long time.

...because they aren't so valuable.

I’m not endorsing the post you’re responding to, but this response makes no sense.

Of course if your assets aren’t that valuable it will take more of them to acquire something. That’s how value works…

Would you classify this post as logical, emotional, or a combination?
Seems to me a disgruntled superstar could actually help a tank. I don't think Ainge is as desperate to trade Mitchell as you think he is.

It makes plenty of sense. Just think about it. If someone had a lot of unwanted garbage in their backyard and then asked you to take it, would you? Of course not. So in the case of Ainge, he obviously sees value in what the Knicks are offering, so he is interested. The difference is, that he is someone who always wants more than a normal person would.

Ainge is basically the opposite of the person who "takes a penny, leaves a penny". Instead, he empties all the pennies in his pocket and walks away. If he didn't want the Knicks' pennies, he wouldn't even bother at all.

[Black Jack]

Morey's strategy with Simmons proves the GM with the most patience wins. You just wait until someone gets desperate, which they will, then pounce. GMs who are under pressure from ownership care about their own job not the franchise's issues several years in the future.

For top level GMs it's sort of foolproof. I can almost visualize a Morey/Ainge slide deck presentation to the owner. "See, there's always a desperate Billy King type GM whose job is on the line so we just wait until he gets really panicked then we raid all his future assets".

Keeping trying, bro. No one called the Knicks picks valueless.

Uh okay... And I'm not your bro.

If there's one thing we know its that nba gms don't value draft picks in the 20's nearly as much as fans seem to. Even picks in the teens are complete crap shoots.

[dautjazz]

Durant wouldn't want to play with a Knicks team that only has RJ and Brunson lol, and I doubt the Nets are interested in Randle.

According a Jazz radio host, a trade has already been agreed on, not sure what is the hold up, maybe there multiple teams. A few other sports people in Utah have confirmed they received the txt messages related to the trade.

I would assume LAL and maybe 1 more team ends up involved and it’s taking time to iron out.

End of the day, UTA ends up w/ 2 of Obi, IQ, Grimes and 6 FRP. That’s my bet.

Hmm, probably should have told Minny that before they gave him 5 first rounders for Gobert

Because banking on the Knicks being absolute trash is a pretty good gamble? So trying to weezle as much of those picks from the always thirsty Knicks brain trust is a solid business decision

So it's not really the assets par-say, but more of the respect he has for the opposing franchise.

[Black Jack]

Knick fans you will trade like 12 future picks to Utah, one of one which becomes undisputed league GOAT for a soon to be unhinged Mitchell who parties like a rockstar all across NYC, leads you to a couple strong second round exits, eats glue on IG Live and then retires to a career in the Outer Mongolian League, and you will like it.

Nature is a cruel master.

No one wants Randle.

We have the most picks. We also have some interesting young talent to go with those picks. If Utah is looking to tank, we are their best dance partner to make that happen
