What's the last team with two starting 6'1" guards who won a championship? played in a final series? Made the playoffs? NOT WORTH IT. Keep our 2023 picks and Obi and Grimes and roll the dice.

The Utah Jazz were a pretty good team with two 6’1” guards

F*ck Danny Ainge. Tree Rollins should not have stopped at just biting his finger, but should have entirely eaten that sneaky rat.


Should've given him the Kermit Washington on Rudy T treatment

Shams ruined the entire vibe. He made it seem like the trade was close to being finalized to now saying could take all off-season.

you dont walk away from a top 25 player available.


sit down and do the math.

you have to get to the 40th best player in the NBA before you get to guys that can be traded for.

:lol: how are we getting from a fringe playoff team to a championship team with one move?

Unless we are trading for Giannis that isn't happening. Even Luka wouldnt make us a championship team by himself...should we not trade for him if he's available?

The math is that we will be stuck with no room to improve after the trade, and everyone will turn on Mitchell and Brunson for not making the Knicks a contender. We've made a solid effort, now let's wait for Mitchell to get disgruntled and push his way out.

Brunson / Rose / McBride (Rokas)
Grimes / IQ
RJ / Fournier / Cam
Randle / Obi
Mitch / Hart / Sims

Yea I wanna trade Randle, but that is a nice team if even 1-2 guys make a leap, which Id easily bet happens, &/or Randle and Rose rebound.

I know some will quote this and just say “Mid”, but I disagree. This is the best and deepest team we’ve had for a very long time, and we have all our picks and then some along with promising youngns.

See what they can do if Ainge wants to be a dlck. Stay the course. This isnt DWade we’re talking about.

"you dont walk away from a top 25 player available." = but almost everyone here wants to walk away from Randle. :lol:

Conley is a negative value player. And we already have Rose, Brunson, and Donovan in the backcourt. We do not need another expensive undersized player.

More I think about this, it's not worth it. Just get rid of Randle with a pick and go from there.

I wonder if the Suns played some rope a dope on Ayton. Wanted him for 4 years, don't care about the trade kicker and stuff.
