Offseason Thread Continued - Atlanta Got Crabbes and We're Panicking

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

So Griffin has pretty much set the bar for a package that no one team which is being rumored even has the all star and what team with an all star is going to be the third wheel in the trade that gives up their star but not get AD?

looking at it another way, one might think of it as Griffin having set the upper limit of what he wants. It's a pretty ambitious upper limit, but "all-star potential" is essentially meaningless, and what they mean by all-star (unless it is exactly Beal) is unclear.

We should facilitate a trade by helping LA get AD. We could pick up Lonzo who still has a lot orb growing to do. We need a floor general that can grow with all the Youngblood talent we have. Lonzo to Robinson’s ! Let’s Gooooooo

Only for the fact that he is an incredible player that I don't want to see the Knicks just bow out of this nonsense but at the same time I don't want to see them give up the massive package it would take to get him.

If the Knicks hadn't traded KP they might have the best package without giving up the farm but then they'd still be stuck in cap hell with Timmy still around.

Perry just needs to stick around in the conversation so it drives up the price for any potential eastern conference teams who might make the trade.

Plus they want a deal done before the draft, which is before Free Agency starts, and I would not want to give all our assets up for AD if they don't get KD or some other big FA.

We could agree in principle to a deal and rock it like that

So Durant is playing.

He orchestrated coming back mid series after his team fell behind, wins the series, and proves to the world that the Warriors needed him. And then he leaves to go join the Knicks.

I did not expect this. I thought maybe GSW would have won without KD forcing him to leave. Or they lose without KD, forcing him to return next season and proving to the world that they needed him.

Now,returning mid-series, he gets the best of both worlds.

Well Done, Mr. Durant, Well Done...

I can imagine Perry with the other GMs sitting around the table like a game of poker and Perry's poker face is legit. He's not showing his hand while the other teams are basically sweating but no one's leaving the table without that ace up their sleeve.

Start creating realistic Beal trade offers. I wonder what it would take to get him. There's no doubt that we have the assets. His contract is pretty friendly in today's NBA and he's a very good player. Perhaps, we attempt to get Beal to pair with KD and potentially Kyrie. Beal's contract is good enough where the Knicks would retain max cap room even if they acquired him before the draft.

I'm all about trading for B.Beal but i'd get a big man that can be a PF/C combo because we'll need to give that help to M.Robinson down low. I mean unless D.Jordan is gonna re-sign to play with KD on the cheap then give me the Beal trade, K.Durant and then get J.Randle or even N.Vucevic who i think is very underrated and if we put him at PF to play with a guy like M.Robinson or D.Jordan who bring the defense then Vucevic would be a great get to play PF and/or C.

PG--DSJ/K.Allen/Frank
SG--B.Beal
SF--K.Durant
PF--N.Vucevic/J.Randle
C--M.Robinson/D.Jordan

That's a team that would do great in the east fo sho.

I continue to think you simply say No to inclusion of Mitch, and then see what happens. AD is unsigned.

Knox showed plenty of potential. GTFO with that crap about LeVert, who is injury prone, and Allen, who is an overrated young player at this point.

Knox, RJ and the Dallas picks. 4 picks and 2 might be high. Knox has third scorer potential behind Zion and RJ. Gimme a break

It's a very good offer. Otherwise kick rocks.

I suggest you just join the “Don’t trade for AD” club because that offer won’t do it & I don’t want you mad when the offer that comes out starts with Mitch & RJ.

Watch on YouTube

says no team has a package that griffin wants out of the known suitors. says kawhi & kd's decision will not be based on winning, it will be based on comfort, marketplace, etc.
