Re: Breaking: KAT to the Knicks
dont underestimate the fact that
Just as much as KAT is a better fit for brunson
we are a better fit for KAT too.
3x 40% 3pt shooters at volume
4x guys when we play 5 out that all can do multiple things on each side of the court
KAT gonna dominate.

IHart is the most obvious point in favor of this deal that so many upset/doubtful fans seem to be glossing over.
KAT's skillset is like the Bugatti version of iHart's Nissan Z. He does basically all the same things, but at an All-NBA, borderline HOF, level. A non traditional center that can pass, screen, operate outside the paint, and run an offensive system through when needed.
If you were worried about missing the functionality that iHart bright last year, they just brought in his archetype.
Two semis appearances for KAT with the Knicks on at least his usual all-star numbers should make him a lock for HOF.
Obviously we are aiming higher. We are legitimately set up to win it all now

Isolation wasnt the issue for the Knicks, we don’t need creators. Floor spacing was.
Not to mention Bridges and OG can create their own shots.

Mook would’ve just been an injury replacement at this point.. still would’ve been nice to have though you’re right.
Can't they just re-sign Mook and Shamet after the dust clears, with the requisite under the table agreement?
Or, is that not allowed, that they have to clear waivers or some other such BS first?

How do you feel about your pf spot?
I see Hart is your projected starting pf. That seems like a small frontcourt with Kat/Hart. I think rebounding and defense might be a weakness.
What idiots have Hart listed as the starting PF? It'll be OG or KAT or Precious
Hart MIGHT start at SG but even that is debatable
ESPN had it as your projected starting lineup after the trade lol.

Leon and company have pushed the chips in with this one. I don’t like trading Donte but this team is extremely dangerous on paper. Health will be my biggest worry

What are the implications of going over the 2nd apron?
I'd assume the Knicks are going to avoid doing this, so it's one out of the three of Morris, Shamet and Okeke.
BTW, this new CBA sucks, that it forces teams to do this.
Honestly, the NBA really gives a f*ck about the end of rosters? This is really what they wanted?

Now that you say it, I kind of expect it. Edwards DGAF and will say something to Randle that sets him off.

Randle’s gonna pout. Edwards will say something, and Randle will go after him. Guaranteed
