Would have to be Mitch and McBride for Smart and draft compensation. Only way it makes sense if we are confident we could use Precious and picks for a legit center prospect like Kessler.

Smart would be the PERFECT get. Can start or come off the bench. This team now lacks a bit of playmaking after swapping Julius for KAT. Smart is a little bit of a chaotic offensive player but he's a legitimate good passer. His last 3 years in Boston he averaged nearly 6 assists a game.

Defensively he's obviously great. He's not really a great POA or small guard defender anymore but he's great at guarding up. Knicks will basically be able to switch everything.

I think if they can make this move they absolutely should.

A trade for Smart would be dumb

**** man can't shake the feeling of this trade being bad. Guess we'll know soon enough. It feels like we're moving away from what looked so good last year. Randle is AWESOME and Divo is AWESOME. Towns needs to be A+ here.

Would love to get Smart but not for Mitch. Remember how Smart punks Porzingis.

Randle missed half the season and the team finished as the two seed. They limped to within a game away from the ECF. What was so awesome about Randle last season? The 14 games he played with OG?

I hate losing Donte.

I don't know if the trade will work but, on paper it makes a ton of sense. Oh well. I am excited to see this team on Sunday so we may have a better idea of what the trade looks like at first glance. I would expect them to take a little time to gel.

Smart wouldn't be bad, but we can't go 2 for 1 anymore. You don't want to end up with counting on multiple second round picks and minimum players to fill rotation spots. Shipping out Mitch and Deuce wouldn't make sense to me.

Dude, was that the official debut of a supposed top player? This motherfugger should march into the full stadium and first perform a few tricks. At Real Madrid or Barcelona they know how to present top signings!

I'm up early am doom scrolling and I saw a clip of Donte hitting a sick reverse lay up last night. I immediately came here to see if anyone else saw it :lol:

Because of a 3pt shooter? I'll miss him too but have some faith. We're assigning way too high a value on a skillset Thibs will find once per season. The year before it was Grimes and then he had a sophomore jinx and MF acted like they forgot about Dre.

And difference is I think DVC was more of a vet and perhaps would've maintained it but ya never know. In the role DVC woulda had maybe Shamet can step up.

Remember Deuce formed a good relationship with Brunson setting picks for him.

You have to start Hart because his rebounding is incredible (8.3 RPG), he gets those assists (4.1 APG), and his style helps the team to get out and put pressure on the defense.

Josh getting a rebound and getting the ball to OG in transition is dangerous. OG has the highest transition FG% of any player in the league scoring 5.0 PPG or more in transition (Giannis and KD are right behind him)

However if Josh is getting cooked on D you can quickly sub him out for Deuce. :lol:
