Did he hide out in France until Knicks were able to draft him lol

Ok. We're all guessing. Maybe Thibs likes him and thinks he can play some backup minutes. Wtf knows?

we cant offer I hart more than 16 anyway


Although, if they can avoid being hard capped at the aprons it doesn't handcuff them in other moves down the road. The impacts of those aprons goes beyond just over-under the cap or paying tax, it limits other flexibility to make moves.

We have them but we likely won't use any of them.

Wild to assume mitch or even embiid will even be healthy then.

I fck with mitch but it's so hard to rely on him when we are this close to making a serious run.

This along with the possibility of us keeping Randle, angers me…but it may be the best moves for us going forward.

I thought it was $17+ million per season.

What if we traded Mitch?


It's a little more than $16mil to start but goes up from there so it's 4/$72 for the whole deal.

Mitch is better off traded and replaced with a versatile stretch big who can defend some.

Give me Isiah Stewart. Or someone else.

Just get another big who can shoot. That's a major weakness.

The new CBA is going to dramatically change the way the league works. It’s going to take time, but it’s not going to be feasible to be a 2nd apron team for an extended period of time.

As a 1st round pick, I don't think you can stash Dadiet if he wants to come over. It is a guaranteed deal. That's why most stash players come in the 2nd. He will have 2 of the best wing defenders to learn from at practice everyday here.

Yeaaa I don’t think he’s a stash away.

He may be getting legit minutes.

We wanted some sort of investment in the future, well, there you go…interesting.
