He has the same impact on this teams ceiling as embiid does for the 6ers. If he can stay healthy it makes us contenders. So yeah, back it up for him.

Pay him. Knicks would have been in the ECF and would have been best positioned to beat the Celtics if all the injuries didn't pile up. It would have been Knicks vs. winner of Wolves/Mavs for the title.

Re: OG - is he worth the money he’ll demand?
remember those OG minutes defending embiid in the 4th quarter of game 4?
how we fronted him for the first time during the series and played precious in the backside.
how that completely stalled out the Sixers offense for like 8 minutes in the 4th?

Just pay the man.
Real question is what do we do with Randle.
He will want to get paid for his regular season accolades for previous years.
I would make OG permanent PF and try to move Randle after showcasing him early in the season.
Get Mikal on 3 way deal or something.

Regardless of the money OG demands, the Knicks will have competition for him, the Raptors will make a strong push

OKC & PHI? I have them as ppl that could go after OG & Hartenstein. They could use both
PHI going to play him at the 4? doubt ihart leaves to be a backup.
OKC could make sense but again chet is their starting 5.unless they're considering moving him to the 4 i don't see why ihart leaves to be a backup.
pistons - don't see him leaving to play for a loser franchise. magic could be interesting but i think they need shooting more than anything.
backup C. And you know they're going to have to sit Embiid a bunch. It wil be worth the money for them.
It has been proven throughout these playoffs that depth is crucial. I see teams shifting to pay great backups.

Swap Bogs, McBride and a pick or two for Williams and Caruso and let's run this back
iHart / Mitch
Randle / Williams
OG / Hart
DDV / Burks
Brunson / Caruso
I'm here for it.

I'm here for it too but those damn Chicago Execs still waiting on Lonzo Ball to come back. Thats why I have a hard time seeing if they are willing to make a trade this offseason.
If DeRozan comes back.. may as well not ask about Caruso

They wanted a late first for Drummond. I don't think DD or Caruso will be as cheap as people keep projecting.

McBride and Bogs have value… McBride adds to their core and Bogs flipped for an asset at the deadline.

Re: OG - is he worth the money he’ll demand?
We all know about his defense but I can see him improving year over year on his offensive game. Hes starting to look confident with that J and when he's aggressive there is really not many that can guard him. Sign him now before the word gets out and his price increases even more.
Fire Thibs!

Re: OG - is he worth the money he’ll demand?
Og Anunoby will take a pay cut like he said earlier during the season.
Leon Rose negotiations is why Knicks have a deep bench.
I will not waste my time worried about Knicks contracts.
Knicks aren't trading their pics this year.

Re: OG - is he worth the money he’ll demand?
OG is the 2nd best player on this team. His impact is ridiculous. When he’s healthy.
His agent is Leon’s son. The deal is already done.

Have to leave money for OG's backup, since that player will play 30 to 40 games each season.

They have no choice but to pay him, he's absolutely going to get hurt though, you just have to hope it's the first half of the season and not post all-star break.

Re: OG - is he worth the money he’ll demand?
Be very careful with those numbers and make sure there's a backup plan; A player who can step into that role.
Past 4 years
43
48
67
50
Those numbers are not OG's shooting percentages.
We know OG is a super hero when he's healthy..... newsflash: HE'S NEVER HEALTHY.
Knicks need to sign him to a fair deal, sit him the entire season, and activate him ONLY for the playoffs

Those look like BOTH Mitch's FT% and his games played.
