Shams: Knicks Trading Obi Toppin to the Pacers for 2 SRP’s 

Post#1 » by Castle Black » Sat Jul 1, 2023 7:00 pm

Former lottery pick for only 2 Second Rounders? That’s a steal by Indy.

Hopefully this trade helps reinvigorate the hated rivalry between these two franchises. :nod:

Steal. Guess the argument with Thibs sealed his fate.

I'd say his brother's time with the Knicks will be short lived too.

Seems awfully cheap imo, I know he had a limited role but sheesh talk about mismanagement of assets.

Knicks are legitimately one of, if not THE WORST drafting team in NBA history.

They absolutely suck at scouting. I called this pick a bust the moment it happened. Obi was always trash.

Well, who should they have taken instead?

Haliburton?

That’s good value for Toppin. Not sure why Knicks are doing this though.
