2018/2019 NBA Trade/Wishing Well Thread (Cont.)

Yeah, HARD PASS on Wiggins. Long after Noah and his hair are just a distant memory, Wiggins will be making $30+ million a year to shoot 30% from three. Low efficiency, no defense, little (if any) growth after four seasons in the league.

Noah is gone after next season. Wiggins is locked up through 2022-23, with the last year at $33 million dollars. Noooo thank you. Suck it up and live with Noah.

I don't like Wiggins because of his shooting either but why is Noah gone after next year? He has two years left on his deal.

Ummmmmmmm huh? Am i in some kind of fantasy land right now?

The responses show that it’s a fake rumor account

In a perspective trade of:
Noah, Hardaway, Burke for Dieng, ColeWorld, Wiggins who says no first?

Wolves improve shooting/scoring with the Michigan back court, Thibs gets a toy back. Knicks get a younger big man who can play next to KP and obviously the partially guaranteed salary of Alderich. Wiggins and Dieng somewhat break the bank, but potentially fit better with KP.
Wolves line up:
KAT/Noahr
Gibs/Bjelca?
Butler/Troy Brown?
HardyTime/Rose/Jones
Teague/Burke

Knicks Tank:
Kanter/pick-a-plumlee
Dieng/UniKornet
Bridges/Lance
Wiggins/Dots/Lee
Frank/Mudiay/Aaron Holiday (somehow).

If I was MIN I would say hell no.

You’re right...the finals ended and I’m so anxious to get this off-season going I’ve already started considering 18-19 “this year” haha

Rockets are willing to dump picks to get rid of Anderson. We can also use this an opportunity to get rid of Hardaway since Adnerson's contract is a year shorter.

Is this implying that the Rox would give up way down the road future picks to add Hardaway? You know they want nothing but expirings, right?

Is there where we post trade scenarios where the Knicks get draft picks that never happen?

Is there where we post trade scenarios where the Knicks get draft picks that never happen?

For now yes. We are not going to be getting extra picks unless we are taking on unwanted salary. For example, could we trade Lee(solid player) and Lance Thomas (3rd year no entirely guaranteed) for Luol Deng and #25 this year? Sure (unless they traded away all 2019 firsts). But that doesn't really do much for us. Are we going to trade Lee and somehow get #14? Since Billy King isn't around I would say no.

"The Memphis Grizzlies have gauged the trade market on a package of Chandler Parsons and the No. 4 overall pick, league sources told The Athletic. Parsons, who has missed 94 combined games over the past two seasons, is owed $49.2 million guaranteed over the next two seasons."

Opportunities likes this are how you build a contender, we should be all over this trade. Our 9th pick is a good start for this trade.

Heck even trade for Ryan Anderson for some to get additional picks and use them and the 9th pick for this deal. Our front office needs to get creative. We're not going to get the talent we need in FA to become contenders. Plenty of other teams (2 in our own division) with way better cores. We need to hit the draft hard and take some chances.

That’s a lot of dough to eat, but it’s a legit shot at Doncic if they’re interested

We have Noah and Hardaway eating capspace anyway. Might as well go all in and by the time these contracts expire we will have cap space and probably a great core. It just makes sense, don't understand these NBA GMs...

So then you're a no go on signing Kyrie next off season then? I believe there is plenty of truth to him wanting to sign with us but if we take on Parsons then we can't sign Kyrie. I'm not sure a 1st round pick is worth losing Kyrie to me.

I think a) Why would he sign here when he can sing in Boston? 2) Do we really need to sign a guy with bad knees again after what we went through with Amare? Not to mention KP's injury also, wouldn't want to build a team around those two. Even if both are healthy, you will need a lot more to contend. So yes, I am fine with not getting Kyrie.

I am perfectly fine with not signing Kyrie. Our team isn't competing anyway and we need to get cheap young talent.

Lol so in this day and age of the stretch 4/3 point shooting 5, Noahs people are pimping this video of a slimmed down version of him, still living in the paint. Yeah, this doesn't help that contract look any more attractive.

I came here for this, though. Swapping 9 for 4 while taking on that Parsons contract has to have some sort of validity to it. In a year or two you guys will have Frank, Porzingis and one of this drafts top 4 players going into FA with money to spend.
