Why did we trade Banton? I thought we had an open roster spot?

Is Springer part of a bigger deal?

Validity Uncertain.

Made room in the back end of the rotation for Tillman by opening up a couple spots via trade

well the Knicks still have a ways to go if they're going to compete with the best team in the league

They don't have to catch up to the Celts, just beat them in the playoffs, and they have played them extremely tough
this season, and it's the best Knicks team in decades. Didn't want to see a potential playoff matchup improving that
much.

I know. They are looking formidable;)

But they haven't seen us with Tillman and Springer!

He was a tall PG/SF. But couldn't shoot for ****.

Feels weird trading with the Sixers, but I figured we'd get a guy with at least another year on their contract. Seems like a good move.

Springer looks less interesting than Banton. Weird.

I always liked the idea of Banton, but never, actually, liked Banton.

Jaden springer is a poor man's alex caruso.. There I said it..

Ok since Springer gets Banton's spot, we will still have an open spot. We now have a defensively capable big and a defensively capable guard if PP is getting abused on that end in the playoffs. My guess is we go to the buyout market, OPJ?, and if we strikeout, convert Queta
