Feeling shaken isn't the same as thinking of them as a maryr. For example, there are some families where a person commits a crime and goes away for a long time. The family still loves them and misses them, even if they understand that what they did merited the punishment.

Since we can't know what exactly happened, it's a little harder on us, but I have to say at least hearing from the mods so we know there were reasons is better than not hearing anything. So thanks for that, MPH and JVG.


I'd comment on the situation but I know the mods are itching to ban me too, so I'll just have to enjoy the new chilling effect the forum has now.

We need a third team that is under the salary cap to do the trade and I cannot find one

Also, Deuce would have to be in the trade to make the numbers work.



No way… Deuce should be as close to untradeable as it gets on that contract. We could still make the salaries work in other ways, but the Wolves won’t trade Donte back to us for what we have to offer.. he’s too valuable to them. We’ll just have to wait until he expires unless they don’t wanna lose him for nothing next year..

McBride is a definite keeper. As good as Donte is, to get where the Knicks would want to go by getting Donte, it would be to add Donte to a squad that has Deuce.

Deuce is very close to that "leave him open, he's a knock down 3 shooter", probably the closest on the Knicks. Absolutely the best off the bench.
He's the best point of attack defender, especially of quicker guards

He's really clutch. In a LOT of games, nearly all, it's Deuce making the 3 that ends another team's run. Maybe not Novak level, but it's getting there.

The Knicks just don't have the sized contracts to trade for Donte (assuming the Wolves accept any trade) other than Mitch or Hart and either of those guys is too important to the Knicks.

IF Hukporti was more Mitch than Kyle O'Quinn, then MAYBE Mitch could be expendable, not that the Wolves need him, so pretend 3 team trade.
But again, Huk seems like he'll be decent, but KOQ decent, not the rebounder/intimidator that Mitch is. If the Knicks want to move Mitch they should have found a Mitch replacement and Huk isn't it.

Knicks aren't making any trades this year unless it's bundling Kolek and Dadit and that isn't fetching much.

My guy, I am literally on Spotrac every day using the trade machine, lol. If someone thinks they could still make the salaries work in other ways, someone please use the Spotrac trade machine and pull off a Donte trade without using any of our core guys among Jalen, Mikal, OG, KAT, Mitch, Josh, Deuce!

https://www.spotrac.com/nba/trade-machine

On the realgm trade checker, I can pull off a trade for Donte without using any of the core guys.

However, Spotrac takes into account apron rules. So I don't know who has it right anymore.

One of the ways is trading Mitch… I like the guy but he never plays and when he does he’s likely going to get hurt to some extent. Plus he’s due for another contract, and given our cap situation, I honestly don’t see a world where giving him any kind of money is a good idea unless it’s like 5m per year.

The Wolves likely won’t have interest in him tho, so we’d have to find a 3rd team that would be willing to part with something for him that the Wolves would even want… pretty much not happening.

I dunno the specifics on the roster spot rules, but another possible option is packaging Clarkson, Yabu, Kolek, and Dadiet for Donte. Need a 3rd team for that too since I doubt the Wolves want all that, but salary wise it works and saves us 1M.

It’s a 4 for 1, so maybe we’d have to guarantee some of those Two-Way deals and sign a vet or 2 to get to the minimum 14 roster spots that need to be filled. Dunno what the options would be on that tho, but also just totally unlikely… but I guess it’s technically possible salary wise.

RealGm Trade Checker allows me to trade all of our guys

Spotrac Trade Machine limits me to using only one minimum salary player in a trade

I don't know who has it right

Otherwise, I obviously would want to trade for Donte without giving up any core guys and that includes Mitch

I would have traded Mitch for Walker Kessler but now Kessler is out for the season

It's fine, I might have figured out which teams we can use as a 3rd team in a Donte trade. Sacramento Kings are one of them.

id rather have zion cause he is awesome when healthy and his off court sht is wildly hilarious and im here for entertainment. And rj is boring as sht and while I can not confirm or deny because im not watch the raptors im sure he is still a sht defender.
