How do knicks feel about a Porzingis and top 5 for Bradley Beal? He is hot now but he has had knee problems in the past and wiza trds could use some size at the powerforward.

It's been striking how slashing and constant off the ball movement have made this team successful. Who comes to mind?

[spree2kawhi]

What about KCP? Some around the Lakers feel like he wasn't a good investment. I think he fits right in here. Him in some package for Willy might be something they'd consider...

[NYKHardKnock]

If we trade Kanter and Lee could we sign Paul George in the off season?

Then deal LT and Willy to Dallas for Nerlens Noel

Sign Noel 2 years 6m per, Dougie 2 years 8 per, Lin 1 year 6m, Booker 2 years 7m per

PG13 and KP6 would be an awesome duo

PG: Frank Ntilikina -- Jeremy Lin -- Ron Baker
SG: Tim Hardaway Jr. -- Mikal Bridges
SF: Paul George -- Doug McDermontt
PF: Kristaps Porzingis -- Trevor Booker
C: Nerlens Noel -- Kyle O'Quinn -- Joakim Noah

You think Noel is going to settle for 6?

Now GTFO. And don't come back here with this kind of stupid BS again.

[dakomish23]

Was anybody here high on Denzel Valentine?

He hasn’t been great so far, but I’m not sure CHI is using him correctly. He’s had some decent outings this year. Can shoot from deep, can create for others. Two more years in that rookie deal.

We happen to have something CHI probably wants back. Is that too much to give up for him or is it a no brainer if this was a possibility.

He's not playing, and has attitude issues, he needs to settle for something cheap to prove himself.

you could send 3 1st round picks with beal and I would still laugh at that offer for KP...this wasn't serious right?

I didn't like Denzel coming out of college. He was non-athletic, only a decent shooter at best and also somewhat undersized for a wing. That spelled disaster for me at the NBA level... I thought Bembry was a better prospect way later in that draft with a similar skillset and better measurables (slightly biased here I'll admit being a St. Joe's grad). Neither has really panned out but Bembry has had some injuries and a glut of wings to deal with in Atlanta last year. I thought Valentine's stock was artificially high because he was the best player on Michigan St. instead of a different non big name school.

[HarthorneWingo]

I liked both Bembry and Valentine, tho Bembry better. Neither is really doing much. Meh

Brain damaged guy or just trolling?

New York Knicks Receive: PG/SG Jerryd Bayless, SG/SF Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, 2018 top-18 protected first-round pick

Philadelphia 76ers Receive: PG Jarrett Jack, SG/SF Courtney Lee, 2019 second-round pick (via Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets or Orlando Magic)

Don't beat that "The Philadelphia 76ers aren't compromising their financial flexibility for Courtney friggin' Lee" drum just yet. Multiple teams have phoned the New York Knicks about Lee's availability, according to Ian Begley—far-flung interest that should come as no surprise. He's been that good.

Lee is putting down a career-high 43.2 percent of his triples and showcasing supplementary handles that render him less predictable. He's shooting almost 58 percent on drives, and a noticeably larger share of his field-goal attempts are coming around the rim compared to last season.

His defense remains steady. The Knicks liberally throw him on pick-and-roll ball-handlers, and he's a nuisance when rotating into space.

The Sixers can use everything he does off their bench, which remains thin on proven wings. And the front office has already shown it'll make moves to boost the present-day ceiling. Giving the Brooklyn Nets Jahlil Okafor, Nik Stauskas and a second-round pick for Trevor Booker proved as much.

Ending the Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot experience now, not two years into his career, isn't a pain-free decision. But he hasn't looked comfortable while taking more of his shots from the outside and remains a raw finisher around the basket. Coughing up a first-round pick with top-18 conditions hardly stings. The Sixers house enough prospects, and they'll have ended a half-decade playoff drought if it conveys.

Landing Jarrett Jack and trimming Jerryd Bayless' salary from next year's bottom line are small-time coups. The Knicks score like a top-five offense with Jack running the show, making him a nice plug-in point guard for Philly as Markelle Fultz heals up, even after acknowledging how much time he enjoys beside Kristaps Porzingis.

Lee costs around $4 million more than Bayless in 2018-19, but the Sixers retain a clear path to $20-something million in cap space with him on board, and it won't take a first-round sweetener to dump him if LeBron James wants to join the party in free agency.

Meanwhile, in New York, the Knicks load up on two first-round flyers while improving this year's lottery odds. Any rebuilding squad worth its salt calls that a win.

Ron Baker, 6'5" (SG) for Mario Hezonja, 6'8" (SG)

Hezonja is healthy and posted 17 points(6/11),9 rebs,4 assists,3 blocks,1 stl in 35 minutes last night against the Clippers. Hezonja is only 22 and needs a fresh start away from Orlando. He's cheap and can be had with still loads of talent ,just needs the right team.

Willy for Randle makes SOME sense. On both sides there are reasons for/against it. Lakers need a future at the 5 with Lonzo/Ingram/Kuzma core solidified and Randle with an expiration date.

However, we'd have to pay Randle in RFA, which will be crazy expensive. I'd consider it to be honest. Esp with how he plays defense now.

Would be interesting to say the least.
