I love the rivalry brewing between pelicans and suns. This is great for the game when teams really dislike each other.

Heat with the mid record like the Knicks. What's happening? Is there is Jimmit97 on their board who sh*ts on Herro every days after some fans were mean to Bam?

Very nice! They need to keep the L's coming, but not TOO many. Thankfully, I think a Luka level player can take even a bad team to 30 wins easily, and the Mavs aren't bad. Since they are Maverknicks, of course they are kind of mid.

My ultimate fear that draft was getting 2 and passing on Ja.

Zion would have changed everything for us. And yeah, it would've been a huge shame for the NBA to miss out on him due to health issues. Glad he got it together and we get to see his NBA career unfold.

I think the Knicks would have passed on Ja too. It would have been even worse.

I remember back in the day, some posters were really afraid that Memphis would choose RJ and we would be "stuck" with Ja Morant... :roll:

They are a most precarious Mid...if something were to happen to the big baLuka they would crash down to below Detroit Pistons level of suckatude.

Felt like most people liked Ja but there was def some people that were down on him. I had him #2 on my board. From what I recall, didn’t seem like the Knicks would have taken him anyway. Oh well.

Another team to keep a close eye on with Kuzma is the New York Knicks. Kuzma is represented by Austin Brown of CAA, who worked closely with colleague Leon Rose before Rose left the agency to join the Knicks as president. New York has several CAA clients, including Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, Isaiah Hartenstein and Obi Toppin.

Toppin, who scored his career high (at the time, 35) in Washington in April, could be part of a package for the Wizards that includes young players like Immanuel Quickley and Cam Reddish, among others. Through a series of trades, the Knicks have several 2023 first-round picks from the Dallas Mavericks, Pistons and Wizards (heavily protected through 2026). New York has all of its firsts and one from Milwaukee in 2025.

The Knicks add a more polished scorer, while CAA gets Kuzma to one of his preferred destinations on a new, sizable contract and Toppin to a team that may have a greater role for him. The Wizards could get their own first back and negotiate a price given how much New York has to offer.

Wherever Kuzma lands, if he's not going to stay with the Wizards, the team needs to seriously weigh the opportunity cost of letting him leave without anything in return.

To play at SF?

I'm receptive.

Knicks burning assets for Kuzma is very Knicksian. I put the chances of this happening at 90%

spree2kawhi · Post #234 » by **spree2kawhi** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:09 pm

Kuzma

how couldn’t we see that coming? He is the perfect Knick.

sol537 · Post #235 » by **sol537** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:26 pm

Kuzma as a 6th man to back up PF/SF sure… not to take minutes away from Grimes…

I’d send Obi and Hart for Kuzma if he agrees to an extension at a reasonable rate.

Mitch/Sims
Randle/Kuz
RJ/(Kuz)
Grimes/IQ
JB/McBride

9-man rotation.

So, what can we get for Julius and to whom? Three team trade, we shouldn‘t have to give up the farm, but we are the NY Knicks.

He wouldn‘t come here to come off the bench.

Clyde_Style · Post #238 » by **Clyde_Style** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:36 pm

Could Kuzma play next to Randle and bring RJ off the bench?

Jimmit79 · Post #239 » by **Jimmit79** » Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:38 pm

Kuzma isn't a bad player he's definitely a starter in this league but ppl will whine about it just like they whined about brunson coming to Knicks.

It depends on what's outgoing. It will cost some draft capital for sure and it won't be 2nds. I don't think we can do an even trade with RJ as much as you might want to come back to that because of his contract status.
