So, you don't want the Knicks to get a tall wing?

He should be the best player out there by far. I would give Knox a 33rd chance, but he’s on the warriors.

It is going to take more than Chuma Okeke to acquire Wingo in a trade.

I know, but he’s still a mobile three-point shooting, shot-blocking 7-footer with a 7‘9 wing-span.

Knicks should redo the twin towers with KAT, Mitch and Mo Bamba. Always two 7 footers on the floor

If they do plan to sign a center it should be Bamba, mostly because he can shoot the three.

I read somewhere if we wait a bit more, we can add two players on traditional contracts. I think we should do that and also have a second year option.

Didn’t we draft and trade him, and then aquire a bit moving back?
I hope that wasn’t when we also moved Duren. Ouch.

Think that was the Grimes draft.

Bamba or Brown, I don't really care which. Just get some dang size.

MarJon Beauchamp just got waived by the Clipper and he was somebody they looked at heavy in the draft process. I don’t think either the bucks or the clippers are generally good developmental teams right now so I am wondering if the Knicks would be willing to add him to a contract and kick the tires on potential growth. He’s a Mcbride type of prospect where the defense is there, the shot isn’t broken, and he’s shown a willingness to be a roleplayer.

I don’t think he is raw either, he just needs to be trained to be better at what he does.

To me that’s a clear signal they want to end the experiment with KAT at the 5

They can do that with Mitch but Kessler on a rookie contract is worth more. With that said I think the Lakers can pull a better deal and low-key this might have been why they axed the Mark Robinson deal since they could use that pick to trade for Kessler.

I also think it depends on the matchup. Against a guy like Bam, KAT works better because you can slide OG around and KAT can focus on offense. Against other teams we got to put Mitch back there.

I don't understand though how we could possibly have the assets for Kessler. The guy is having a formidable season. We have no picks and nothing left.

Only possible scenario I could see would be Mitch and Deuce for Kessler and Clarkson. Works salarywise and adresses some of our needs.
