All these trade discussions are great but I’ll be ecstatic with adding two picks in the teens to take Okobo and Musa along with Mikal at 9

Frank Okobo

Musa

Was expecting some posters to recognize that both have two years of dead money a mental error?

Thinking that contracts that are $10mil per year different are on the same level certainly was one.

Thinking that an expiring deal and two years of dead weight are on the same level is a 100x worse

Thinking that anyone did except you is the worst.

Clearly, they have been talking to Memphis and are very confident they can move up if necessary. Obviously, the target is Doncic.

Meeting with Bamba is simply them doing last minute due diligence in the event that Doncic is not on the board, but they want to know if they should still consider moving up at that point.

It's due diligence, nothing more.

Also, Bamba is overrated. He processes the game slowly, is a slow leaper, and his shooting is grossly overrated just because of his size. No thanks.

Knicks are confident we can move up? What makes u say that?

No way you give up 9 and eat 50 million over the next 2 years to move up 5 spots.

We traded his rights years ago to Phoenix

Yes, him and Lampe (GOAT) went in the Marbs deal.

No team will ever give away a top pick (Top 5) just to dump salary. Period. I knew some of you all were slow but I didn't think this slow. Geeeeessssh SMH

prospects saying knicks told them they were trying to trade up...

brendan brown saying memphis has a deal lined up...

begely saykng knicks met with bamba...

givony saying knicks have talked with memphis about a deal...

seems like a whole lot of smoke

Here's the thing...I think it's a no brainer for Doncic but do you take Bomba over JJJ or even Porter?

The Knicks have no chance to sign ANY top free agents because guys like Kawhi, Lebron, Durant only move IF you have the nucleus of a top contender in place.

Therefore you USE cap space to take bad contracts and move up in the draft.

In the last 17 seasons the Knicks have drafted poorly more often than not especially standing pat in the lower half of the top 10.

Don't settle. There is ALWAYS a better move. By moving up, the Knicks are more assured to get the best talent available. Take Mo Bamba. He compliments KP by working inside...and If he continues to develop range then he's definitely the PERFECT 3rd piece to the puzzle.

Also he's from New York...so he can TAKE IT.

What you mean "or even Porter?"

I wouldn't take Porter unless Jesus himself came down and told me Porter's back wasn't gonna be an issue

And even then, he'd be like 7th on my board
