Is Nance worth 2 seconds? I think one is more than enough.

I would be opposed to them trading Martin for Nance straight up.

Reggie Jackson plus second round pick(s) for Day'Ron Sharpe. Anyone think the Nets might go for this now they are very clearly rebuilding?

Yes, I think the Nets would make him available in their firesale. No one is safe there.

Can they get a 1st for him? I doubt lt. I would be loose with my 2nd round picks because bidding will be based on quality and quantity of them, since no bidders will offer a 1st.

Hopefully, any negotiation for him has advanced past any asking price of draft capital from the 1st round. We are flush with 2nd round picks.

Peterson also knows targets/players Nets like around the league. So maybe we can use Micic or Jackson to make our lead piece stronger.

I think Micic has the bigger market, so we'd have to hear out multiple bidders which could better explain the delay on addressing center. We remain vulnerable/thin there.

Can we simply create the cap we need to sign Achiuwa outright with the full MLE?

I hope he's still in play.

Idear for pondering and assuming a return to NYK is in the cards for Achiuwa. We need depth at 5. POR has depth at 5. POR needs depth at 1. We have depth at 1. Is Robert Williams (who is currently rehabbing a knee injury) gettable and/or wantable? I've always liked Williams but another injury prone guy and not sure what a deal would look like to snag him.

EDIT: So much of this obviously hinges on Mark's health. If you could be confident Mark is reasonably healthy, giving away any assets for Williams would be a tad silly, but if Mark remains Question Mark...

If we could get Rob Williams cheap I think its worth the risk he rehabs his value and we ship him at the deadline to a Center needy team

Perfect trading partner IMO, would love to see that happen. Would've just been easier to take Clingan at 6 instead though.

I genuinely do not understand why people keep inventing trades with us and Julius Randle. That is 100% a Jordan and Mitch type of trade. I would lose all respect for Jeff Peterson if he gave up serious assets for Randall.

Now if the knicks want to take miles Bridges in a straight-up swap once Bridges is eligible to be traded then fine because I would love to have that knucklehead off the team. That's my best offer for Randle.

I can't see how the salaries work without either Miles or Grant going out. They'd also do it because they allegedly want Nick Richards (lmaoooo) so the deal would probably be more like Grant (or maybe even Josh Green?) + Cody + Nick. I'd love to offload Cody and Nick...

HornetJail · Post #630 » by **HornetJail** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 3:16 pm

There's no way the Knicks trade Randle for just expirings and bench players but that's about all I'd trade for him. I know I for sure don't want to be on the hook for his next contract.

It's not a coincidence the Knicks looked exactly the same or better this year's playoffs without him.

Post #631 » by **fatlever** » Tue Sep 24, 2024 6:05 pm

we cant trade miles until jan 15th, i think. so, it would be a trade deadline deal.

MasterIchiro · Post #632 » by **MasterIchiro** » Fri Oct 18, 2024 7:47 pm

Should the Clippers have a firesale with Kawhi out "indefinitely" with knee inflammation, any interest in Terence Mann?

He's the kind of 2-way role player serious teams stockpile, like the Celtics.

Similar to Josh Green & Cody Martin, but you can never have too many of those guys, especially given recent time missed by Martin due to injuries.

Mann is a good secondary playmaker as well, and has at least some experience running point. He hustles and plays hard and plays with edge.

I think we need more players like him to model winning basketball.

We are not short on talent like we are experience.

are we allowed to have 2 "t. mann" players on same team? certainly there are rules.

If not, let's go get him and also Lonzo and roll with "2 Manns, 2 Balls"

Post #635 » by **fatlever** » Fri Oct 18, 2024 8:37 pm

2 manns should have 4 balls

I think Micic stuff is overblown, but at the same time if we could move him and Nick for say JVal or maybe even Zubac with draft equity and then sign DSJ, I'd be a big fan of that.

Why? You trying to see us win more games or something? :lol:

I'd love something like this.

MasterIchiro · Post #639 » by **MasterIchiro** » Mon Oct 21, 2024 3:40 pm

Definitely on board with Zubac. I'd be willing to surrender a 1st round pick for him. The Heat 1st or the Mavs 1st.

It just solves the center position and lengthens the rotation for a potential playoff series.

We could sweeten the deal by getting them under the tax. Just add Kobe Brown.

NicRic + Micic for Zubac + Kobe Brown.

Post #640 » by **yosemiteben** » Mon Oct 21, 2024 7:24 pm

LAC just signed Zubac to a 3 year extension like two months ago so I don't think he is realistically obtainable, just was looking for centers that might be available for ~ $13M in salary that is equivalent to Micic + Richards.

Even though he just signed with WAS in FA, seems like JVal should be pretty obtainable. Might not exactly solve our center injury concerns though.
