Brunson and Mitch for Curry

I agree with this wholehardedly...
Brunson will evolve into our Jeter...I dont think we should even joke like this. Many in the
league still doubt him...

Brunson and Mitch for Curry

Go get TFOH!!!

It is Monday morning... No one likes to do heavy work at this time...

Besides, Randle can postpone the extension to avoid the possibility of being traded at the deadline. If he re-sigs on August 7th, I think the Knicks can not trade him this midseason.

He not gonna sign a extension today

If he is training sumo, I believe he is not in shape anymore. Let's trade him!!!

Doesn't seem like the right sport for shoulder rehab

If the Knicks get Ayton, Randle would need to be involved, plus they would need to find a way to add about $5.1mm to the trade (I believe they still have early bird rights on DaQuan Jefferies to facilitate the trade plus room under the apron to absorb the salary difference).

But NY should only do this if it was a 3 team trade and they could get a couple of picks back in the process.

I’m kind of intrigued by this lineup:
Brunson/Bridges/Anunoby/Precious/Ayton
Duce/DDV/Hart/Robinson

But need draft picks to set up a trade for a true #2 scoring option down the road.

No. Mitch + Hart is like 32.5mm combined and Ayton is north of 34.

It wouldn’t surprise me if down the road either Hart or DDV is moved to balance the roster and add a center. But in don’t think it will be for Ayton and not this summer.

Doesn't seem likely they'd break up the Nova boys Knicks core immediately after breaking the bank to unite them.

Thibs is infatuated with Josh and such a move could also mess up the Knicks' magical chemistry.

[WaltFrazier]

Feels like the Nova boys and OG are untouchable. If you trade Randle for a center you need a #2 scorer. If you trade Mitch for a center, you need a backup center. There are no easy answers

[F N 11]

Nova boys definitely untouchable. Jalen Brunson named Captain.

I agree. Unless the new center is a second scorer. However, we can not trust players such as Towns and Ayton. Besides, it would be tough to match their salaries.

I would not rule out something like Randle to HOU, HOU picks to POR, then Smith and Ayton to NYK with expiring contracts thrown in to make it work. We turn Randle into productive players in positions of need while HOU gets more talent so they could climb the rankings and POR rebuilds via the draft as they intend to.

As they should be...Brunson played on a broken hand...Hart played on a torn abdomen...
