I'd see if they'd throw in one of the Knicks 1st tbh.

Sasser
Cade
Ivey 6th man
Tech/Holland
?
Claxton
Stew combo big
Not an ideal rotation by any means, but probably the best of a bad situation

Late to the party. Claxton already agreed to re-sign in Brooklyn.

I guess Hartenstein it is then, lol

Why trade Duren even if we got Hartenstein? I’d rather have two centers (as well as Stewart). Duren hasn’t finished improving at all of 20 years old.

He's a weak defender, and I feel like defensive instincts/mentality is an innate thing for the most part. So I don't see him ever being a plus on that end, and I don't have much use for a center that can't protect the rim.

Not really giving up, just trying to sell high. The closer he gets to a new contract, the lower his trade value goes.
Do you really wanna be the next team to give out a DeAndre Ayton type contract, when it comes to the point where you either gotta trade him for peanuts or hand him a bag?
It might just be Drummond ptsd on my part, but it is what it is, lol

I know they aren’t ideal, but…
Tobias Harris
Miles Bridges
At least we’re not creating a hole somewhere else

I'd rather pay Hartenstein what it would take to get him than give Bridges a big contract. I don't have a lot of respect for woman beaters, and who's to say that once he gets paid he's not gonna do something else that's gonna get him suspended.
If we sign a center in fa we're not leaving a hole.
I don't want Toby at all.
