No team really has all this. Don’t be cute and outbid yourself

Boston has all of it and i think even the Lakers have it with Kuzma or Ball being looked at as the could be all star player. The Knicks are the team that doesn't have the all star player so we'd have to find a 3rd team to help us.

I think he wants an established all star. The Celts can oblige. Give them Hayward.

Carris Lavert and Allen future all stars?

I've read it all now.

Unfortunately Lavert has shown more than any player we have. Maybe not DSJr.

Levert is nice, but the way people talk about him is how they think he'll be rather than what he is. People jumping on Barrett but Levert is prob less efficient.

Multi team scenarios has the Knicks all over it..
I trust that Mills and Perry have scoured the league to determine the value of each of their assets as they have done all along. I think there was a report during the combine that the Knicks were looking at these options...

Basically what’s the best player you can trade Knox and DSJ for?

#3, both Dallas picks and whatever salaries to match

We dont need to match salaries if the trade will be done by the draft (or in july). But we can forget the dream of 2 Max Fa Agents. We would have to absorb the 27M AD salary into the 2019/20 Cap Space and that will reduce our 70M Cap Space.

Exactly right. AD would be one of our "FAs"

So the gap is "Young Knicks suck" but Lavert a future all star?

[thebuzzardman]

So, it's Tatum, Brown and all their picks for AD (plus whatever filler)?

Yes, if we've got an abundance of anything right now it's flexibility

That's exactly how I read that too. Griffin is basically saying "match the Celtics offer".

[god shammgod]

it says in the article that boston isn't even engaging with them right now

[taj2133]

Griffin has offered teams no firm timetable on needing a completed deal, but he has indicated that he prefers the acquisition of 2019 draft picks be completed days prior to the June 20 event in Brooklyn, league sources said. This gives the Pelicans a chance to meet and more closely examine draft candidates slotted in the vicinity of picks potentially traded to New Orleans.

I wonder if announcing they want it before the draft is just another form of leverage - making teams offer to overpay if they hold the trade until after FA. Might get a team to cough up another asset or two. Just a thought.

Damn, you beat me to this.

Forget about RJ, Knox alone has higher ceiling than either of those two.

Or even the other way around - ie" IF they want RJ, but don't want to deal with the Lakers. If we pass on him they're screwed.

Just for AD to leave a year later Learn nothing from the Kyrie deal.

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

That rumoured NOP demand seems completely unrealistic to me. Maybe the Bucks would do Middleton + Brogdan - although I don't know what their pick situation is. But is Giannis+AD as good a fit as Giannis+Middleton+Brogdan? I assume Irving is gone from Boston and they have no other all-stars anyway. Could the Raptors do Lowry+OG? Maybe someone can sign&trade DWade or Dirk?

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

I suppose the point is that they would prefer not to end up with trade filler and would like some other team with an all-star to cope with dealing with the likes of John Jenkins etc. Good luck with that.

It's better for us to make the deal before the draft if we're gonna go for AD. It's also better to get a 3rd team involved. Let's go PILLS get AD here.....

This will show the big dog FA that were serious about contending immediately
