Some of us NY fans over rate our players. I remember when Landy Fields and Shump were untouchable. Give me

Anthony Davis
Boogie Cousins
Embid
Get the picture

Don't want an over rated Draymond Green or an over rated draft pick

The more I think about this, the more I warm to the idea of moving O'Quinn for a pick that has some legit chance of being top-20ish. If our season heads a bit south, the Knicks could be looking at a pick just outside the lottery or hell, maybe even in the lottery. With another pick, we could either package it with our own pick and move up if there's someone we really like or have two cracks at landing a real impact young talent.

He'll stop playing well soon. Bringing his value down. We can't have nice things.

No way we should trade Oak for a midrange pick. If we're lucky that pick will become Oak...in another 5 years so what's the point?

They can only take kyle if they take Noah too

He's finally playing how I was hoping he would last year. I had high hopes before last season, but after his father passed, his head just never seemed to be in the game. It's understandable, takes time after something like that happens.

This guy is a borderline starting C in the league who really wants to be in NYC and play for the Knicks. I mean the guy actually came here after we had a season with only 17 wins AND for a very team friendly deal.

Let teams call, unless the offer is for a lottery pick I am keeping KOQ. You need players like him on your team especially who have a passion for the city and are locked into a very team friendly deal.

Well said. It would be hard to know that a pick will be better than him unless that pick is a lotto pick - and nobody is going to trade us that for KOQ.

.... Unless we throw in a sweetener like Noah! and if you order in the next 5 minutes, we'll throw in a free Lance. Bwa ha ha!!!

O'Quinn for Nerlens Noel. Dude wants to leave philly, philly wants to trade him.

he can be a starter c, back up for noah or even a starting pf if we play KP as a center.

he's only 22 so here is your 1st round draft pick. cheap contract too.

I'd trade KO for a young talent worth taking a risk on like Noel or an early to mid first round pick. Anything else would mean we would basically be getting a role player in return, KO already is a very good role player on a very good contract at a young age. like the idea of Noel because he could help defensively, something this team is dying for.

The only point in moving KO would be to take a chance on a kid or pick that has a good chance of becoming a star.

Nope. Nerlens is an oft injured malcontent with a bad attitude. Thought he could've been as good as Theo Ratliff but I was wrong.

Philly isnt going to give away Nerlene Noel who is a restricted free agent.

How exactly is he a malcontent with a bad attitude? Only bad I've heard from him, was lack of playing time. He has too much talent not to be playing.

He should've had his agent address it behind closed doors. Publicly complaining and cussing makes him a malcontent with a bad attitude by definition.

Normally, I'd agree with you, but the situation in Philadelphia is so awful I side with Nerlens. I mean, all their bigs have potential, but they have three guys (Embiid, Okafor and Noel) capable of starting at center, and six guys (Okafor, Noel, Saric, Ilyasova, Covington and when healthy Ben Simmons) capable of starting at PF. All these guys are young and need playing time to develop. More to the point, without that playing time, they will not get the contracts they could earn (and rightfully feel they deserve). It's an explosive situation for a team with a historically bad record--I mean, it's not like these guys are sacrificing their careers for an opportunity to win a ring. Finally, the 76ers basically screwed up by loading up on traditional bigs in an era where rule changes have necessitated that the rest of the league has moved toward stretch bigs. Accordingly, most of these guys are likely untradeable. (If he were easily tradeable, Noel would already be gone.)

That's where we could come in! Noah for Noel (and, say, Ilyasova). We take the "oft-injured malcontent" off their hands, while they get more playing time for their other bigs, not to mention veteran (bench) leadership for their remaining players--a player-coach to lead them into the Embiid/Okafor era of greatness!

It's brilliant--wake up Phil!!! :lol:

(Don't wake me up, though, as I'm still dreaming! :wink:

In this draft? That's crazy talk. You absolutely move OQuinn for a mid first rounder if you can. He's not that special...

There's no way a team does it. A Portland, for example, would could really use KOQ wouldn't do it because their pick could still be quite high. Say, Dame gets injured tomorrow or they miss the playoffs and the lottery balls swing their way. Even if they felt like nobody in their range would be worth it. Draft night is a different story altogether because everyone knows who they get.

Midseason, teams trade players for the likes of KOQ. On that note - I would consider Aminu and Vonleh for KOQ and Lance.
