Take a look at the moves they made and the move they DIDN'T make this offseason. They're not done. There's still a big target on their radar. I'll have more on that this week.


He says something about Kessler separately so I don't think that's it. Sounds like a bigger fish to me maybe....if he is actually right who and how is the big question

Click bait

Paul Reed was waived by the Sixers. I know he is a no-shooter tweener. But he is an option.

Paul Reed is probably the best front court option left on the free agent market. To be clear - he is a HUGe downgrade from Hartenstein. But options are so limited right now.

I still find Theis a good fit.

I like Saric too but I don't think he fits our style.

Theis feels like a minimum signing. All effort but little skill.

CP spent the last year saying that Mikal to Knicks would never happen and he was acting President of the Grimes hive while simultaneously having an affinity for Burks that would leave Chanel jealous

His sources are on par with Robert Randolph

[Deeeez Knicks]

At this point I would take Paul Reed. He talked some **** but let bygones be bygones

Paul Reed is the best FA C on the market

Not ideal I don't think, but I don't see a better option without a trade.

Sign Paul reed and precious and let’s go to war.

[Context]

I would sign Paul Reed just because his numbers fit and he played for Philly last year.

Reed was unplayable in the sixers series

Maybe Thibs can give him a role that suits him

Reed is an upgrade over Precious. Maybe we can use Precious in a sign and trade for a C while signing Reed as his replacement. But the more likely path is sign both to tee up a deadline move.

Right now I have the Knicks at 18.4mm below the 2nd apron for 13 players (assuming McCullar signs for 1.2mm starting salary). Use of the taxpayer MLE takes that number down to $13.2mm.

I would sign Precious to a 1+1 (team option) starting at $10mm. Tees up a good amount of deadline possibilities for a trade (can to to a 15mm player w Precious + reed or mid 12s with Precious + Sims or KBD). This also leaves enough room to sign a buyout guy.

Roster would look like:

Robinson/Reed/Precious/Sims
Randle/LBD/Dadiet
Anunoby/Hart
Bridges/DDV/McCullar
Brunson/McBride/Kolek

Not ideal, but positioned to make some more moves at the deadline to complete the roster

The other option is trade Duce for a C and use the taxpayer MLE to sign a replacement. Pat Bev, Lowry, Fult, Dinwiddie all could work.

Reed better than Sims but that's not saying much.

paul reed was awful in the sixers series. i'd rather have precious

[DOT]

Reed was unplayable in the sixers series

Ideally we'd trade for someone

But getting him, at least for the start of the year, means we're not desperate and gives us time and leverage if we were to trade for say, Kessler or Richards.

[VirginiaKnickFan]

Reed better than Sims but that's not saying much.

Neither is who I would want starting half a season once Mitch incurs his next injury.

How do we know what was going on -on the Philly bench?

[G_K_F]

Paul Reed sucks and talked trash about us. Never forget. **** that herb.

[DaGawd]

we talking bout paul fkin reed now? jesus

[Context]

Paul Reed sucks and talked trash about us. Never forget. **** that herb.

If he sucks that one thing....He's suppose to talk trash about his opponent- that's confidence and team loyalty- thats what we want to see...
