And KOQ is not young and good himself?

True but you really think he's going to get much better than this? I don't. Odds are he has reached his ceiling.

There's a time to bank on potential and there's a time to lock in on sustainable value. KOQ at his current level is actually excellent and I'm tired of fantasy trades vs. supporting what is actually verifiably good quality chit in our midst. And KOQ is playing REAL BALL. He is becoming a solid piece in the MIDDLE. For me that's big. This franchise has been weak as hell in the paint and at PG for so long I'm not going to jinx our big when they are playing like this by wishing them gone as soon as they excel. I actually think it makes us look like chit fans to do that. Not directed at you in particular, but my feeling about this whole vibe that you trade him now. Based on this kind of mood this board would have lobbied to trade Oak or Mase too just because they were showing value. Value is here. Use it!

The 90s were very different... Ironically Oakley was acquired by trading Cartwright who was a draft pick and was fairly well liked and Mason was traded for Larry Johnson.

Eh, to be honest, if they're willing to pay a big amount...yah, I'd consider. As Knicks fans, we've had a habit of over-valuing our players in the past, and then trading them for shat when they start sucking. Would be better to the do the opposite for once...

If I can move into the top half...maybe 20 of the draft, he's gone in a heartbeat.

Yes, I would trade O'Quinn in a package deal for one good player. Maybe a good PF, so the Knicks can move KP to center.

Hard to see a match. He's young, good, and cheap. Only way it works for me is if we get a good player and they take Lance.

o quinn is still very limited and nothing more than a 15-18 mpg player off the bench.

a role player, and if they can get a first rounder it's a great deal.

I don't know, if it looks to be a late first-rounder, how many late first-rounders even become a solid 15-18mpg roleplayer? KOQ looks to have mastered that mid-range jump-shot, is running the floor better, and gives us much needed physicality--all on a cheap deal. I just don't see a ton of upside in swapping for a late-round pick.

PJax isnt going to mess chemistry up right now, trust.

He'll probably slow down a bit, but he's to valuable for us this season as try to make the playoffs.

Once the season is over, were going to be looking for cap space and he will be the easiest to move. I would look for the best 2018 pick we can get (probably a late first round pick).

Ideally we can just move Noah for smaller contracts and keep KOQ.

true, you're right. i'm talking about a top 20. of course if it's a pick towards the end it's not worth it.

Just quickly perusing rosters, players like Dante Exum and Trey Lyles on the Jazz, Stanley Johnson in DET, Bobby Portis on the Bulls, or the injured Cam Payne in OKC. If any of those teams wanted a veteran player on a great contract with good production NOW, then that's the kind of move I'd say we'd see.

But considering the Knicks are in contention themselves, I don't see any reason to make that move with KOQ out here contributing and locked down for next year on the super cheap. Right now the Knicks are exactly the type of team that would be looking to acquire a player like KOQ.

Yes, a young stud, I'm all over any of those guys except maybe Portis.

I guess if the Knicks see WillieB as ready for more and can bring what KOQ does (basically the defense, as I think they are equal enough otherwise) then I think you move him for a similarly low prices swing SF/PF - like Chandler, but maybe a younger guy?

ozwizard8 · Post #200 » by **ozwizard8** » Fri Dec 16, 2016 1:20 pm

KOQ's contract is team-friendly. I wouldnt trade him unless we get an young asset as compensation.

We dont need to trade KOQ to just get backup for another position.
Jennings-Holiday-LFT-Kuz-Willy... They wont offer better player than those.
