Trades and Transactions Thread Cont'd - Where the Center At?

[sol537]

The next date to look out for is August 3rd... when Randle becomes extension eligible. Either he extends or he plays the season out and we explore a potential trade or an extension at the end of the season (risky).

I would say lets see if it happens before the season starts

Did I say I’m still a fan of Jerami Grant? Wiretap says they’re trying to move him. Great value and skill set.

They have Timelord but also Duop Reath too.

Edit: It’s sad, but there’s nothing that would make sense :/

This trade was mentioned weeks ago... Knicks might be coming back to that.

Mcbride + pacome dadiet and/or draft compensation forJalen Duren.

But the knicks are really looking for a center that can shoot from 3 point range. They're trying to keep up with Celtics.

Grant at 30 million is not value

Two days and a wake up to Kolek, Dadiet, Randle and Mitch getting traded for Towns and Kessler!

[Juco24]

Do we see Precious as our backup C or another PF?

Randle/Precious/KBD
Mitch/Precious/Sims

If Thibs follows his previous pattern... most of the minutes will go something like this:
Brunson/Deuce/Divo
Bridges/Divo/Deuce
Mitch/Precious
Randle/Hart/OG
OG/Hart/Bridges

I foresee a 9 man rotation with Payne possibly sneaking in and maybe Sims, citing injuries or foul trouble. Thibs trusts OG and Hart @ the 4. Plus Bridges can play there, if it's not against a bruiser type. I still think we need a C, to be honest.

Randle/Precious/KBD
Mitch/Precious/Sims

Yes to both. He's now the 3rd big man. If we go small, it's OG at the 4. But against a big team like Minny, we probably use Precious a little more. He'll average 14mpg like Obi did but it'll be bimodal. He probably plays 10 or 16 any given night. And then 30-40 when Mitch misses time.

10 million per rebound he averages.

bruno is ass..

Getting cut by the Hawks should tell you all you need to know.

Not really the whole story. They added multiple centers this offseason.

Yooooo Begley says no movement on Randle extension . Very interesting. I still don't think Knicks plan on him playing out the deal and lose him for nothing. We will see.

Watch on YouTube

Precious is indeed trade-eligible by December, 15th. Good.

Do you know why some players are eligible to be traded on Dec 15th while others can't be traded until 6 months after their signing?

[dukeknicksirish]

Wonder if the veto’d no/trade clause will turn to be useful at the deadline. If he’s doing really well, we could keep him, but…. If there’s a bigger fish to fry from a disgruntled team & player, his salary could be added in.

For time being however, I love this squad we put together. The defensive versatility to guard forwards like Giannis/Paolo/Siakam with OG/Precious/KBD , or the F/C versatility to guard Embiid/KP/Turner/Lopez with Mitch/OG/Precious, or the Guard defensive versatility of Mikal/Duece/Hart to matchup with Maxey/Hali/Dame… *chefs kiss*

6 months: when a player signs an extension that will begin the next season.

I'm not sure. Unless I misread it OG signed a new contract that begins this year but they have him listed as not being able to be traded until January 6. Not that I want to trade OG. Just trying to understand when other players from other teams may become available for trade.

OG did not sign an extension. He was re-signed when he was a Free Agent.

I beleive extensions to current deals is waht triggers that 6 month rule. Free agent signings are Dec 15th

So he should be listed as being eligible to be traded on Dec. 15th on that site and not January, yes?

If we had a C with some offensive game then Precious could come in for Randle and OG and guard forwards very well. But Precious and Mitch on court together is a spacing issue unfortunately.

We absolutely need another Center. Just for injury concerns alone. Then they have Mitch and Sims so Precious would have to play the 5 because he can't be on the court with either of them for offensive reasons.

They need another Center. Precious just moves KBD further down the bench right now and his contract is going in a trade at the deadline. Hopefully Mitch can stay healthy in the meantime.

Brunson/Cam /Kolek
Bridges/DDV/Deuce
OG/Hart/Pac-Dadi

7.5 mil under the 2nd apron. They can go into the season like that if they want but, there is a hole at the 5 and a serious injury risk at the 5 as well.

Still a very good team but, we can't have a repeat of last season.
