Tobias Harris . Where does he go. What does he get.
Good player. Skilled vet. I think I have always been down on him because he seems to always be overpaid, but he’s a positive impact guy.

I was listening to a golf podcast a few months ago and they had an entire section on Tobais somehow having a flawless $300m career, just cruising under the radar. It really is impressive, but I wouldn't want him.

Hauser is a better player than Simons and cheaper than $14M.

He's probably one of the best players we could sign with the MLE we have available. It's just a bad fit for what we need.

If we moved Jaylen for like Kessler or Duren or some other big man while keeping Queta than maybe Harris fits as part of the scoring replacement plan though. But that's why it would be nice to have some resolution on Jaylen soon with a definitive plan to either keep him or bite the bullet and execute a deal. That way you can build around what you get appropriately.

Yeah, you're right that is all Hauser is good at. And it's the only thing Simons is good at too, he's bad at everything else. And Hauser is a better defender and standalone shooting is more valuable in a 6'8" body than a 6'2" or whatever Simons is.

If we move Jaylen for kessler brad should be axed

Simons can create shots way better and make a layup or midrange at least , hauser is not a good defender

How much is he realistically going to cost?

Do we have the money to sign him?

NotAKnicksFan · Post #33 » by **NotAKnicksFan** » Wed Jul 1, 2026 1:01 pm

Btw vucevic should not ever be an option

That’s a lot, however he has shown flashes of being worth that imo. Shame he missed most of the season last year as he was looking brilliant in the few games he played.

I think he’s a full midlevel guy…15 million.
We can do that. Will we?

If you’re looking at a league where the max in the next 2 years is 70 million that’s not terrible.

GSW will use the cap space to sign Lebron.

KP is better than guys like Myles Turner and Mitchell Robinson.

I think it's worth it.

Oh I’d take KP back in a heartbeat. If you’re keeping JB then bringing his buddy KP back is a good bridge.

TheOGJabroni · Post #38 » by **TheOGJabroni** » Wed Jul 1, 2026 1:08 pm

Duren & Thompson for Brown & Queta. Then Murphy (TPE) for picks. Is this possible? Would this be worth exploring?

Feel like we may get priced out and even then, do we want to be signing Robinson to the full MLE for probably 3-4 years? Ehhh

I like KP, though 20 million is maybe a tough fit.
Bigs who can play are getting paid.

Bigs are back!
