The Wiz just seem to be making random picks in the hope that they pay little salary and lose more games.

I wonder if any of the 2nds are 2024. Knicks already have 2 2nds tomorrow.

I can't fault them for swapping a late first, when the salary cap was tight, for 5 2nds. That's a good swap.

Pacome has upside and probably doesn't join the team in 24/25 anyway. I feel good about today. I know some people wanted a name, but I think Leon did well.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

clearly okc doesnt think so


They have too many picks. They have to consolidate.
Not enough room on their roster to draft all those players.

WTF why...5...most of them are trash.

Smh y’all keep telling on yourselves, 2nd rounders are important for teams at the apron under this current CBA. If we plan to be a team that’s hard capped at the 2nd apron, those picks will be valuable to us for future drafts.


Also it depends on if he is willing to take less but I think they have just enough salary cap to offer IHart the max amount they can. I think they are going to have to send Sims out with Bojan and waive everyone else.

A team is allowed to sign players over the hard cap if they are second rounders and vet minimum players.

You can never have too many rail thin skinny 18 yr old wings that play questionable defense, a shaky handle and only shoot 3s.

There is no way to keep I-Hart under the 1st apron without moving Mitch


lot of possibilities


Knicks are $16.2MM below the 2nd apron with 8 players under contract.

League requires 14 players with a minimum salary of $1.1MM per player.

No way to keep both I-Hart and Mitch, unless you include Duce in the Bridges trade.

Not lots of possibilities unless I-Hart plays for the taxpayer mid level

It's surprising because he was great his first few years finding IQ and Grimes

This roster really needed an infusion of young, cost controlled talent with upside.


This team is set. There are no rotation spots left.

We haven’t re-signed iHart

Also, even if we do, you need a 3rd big with Mitch missing half the season.
