Can we get in on a Horford to PHI, Butler to MIA, pieces to BOS sign and trade? Even Hassan Whiteside’s expiring would be a good piece.

We can always find comfort in the fact that we're not the Knicks. LOL what a garbage franchise.

Good to hear your voice zoya. Still scraping body parts & goo off my walls, ceilings, floors, etc.
Glad I missed all the Horford action. I wouldn't have been able to handle it in real time. My meltdown would be nothing this board had ever seen.
To be honest, I imagine a meltdown from you would have probably been quite measured, polite and non-confrontational.

Ed Davis off the bin. Forget where. Utah I think.

I was thinking about it more and the problem is we either a) renounce Al to sign Kemba into space, or b) we need to take Kemba back for Al in the S&T. We don't have any more room to absorb anything. Would need to be a 4th team, and at that point, we become the 4th team in a 3 team trade.

Ed davis went to utah this afternoon on a total bargain contract, 2 years for 10 mil. Best values so far were him, robin lopez, thomas bryant, and Aminu. All guys we wouldve loved to have signed (less so with Aminu, but nice price).

Whitesside will come with huge character concerns, dude thinks he's much better than who he is(who he's been)..
Good assessment:

For depth purposes we need to deal Yasbule with pick to get a big. Len is still a possibility

My Knicks friends are in utter turmoil which is basically zero change from how they normally are

His expiring could conceivably be coupled with Jaylen at the deadline in order to acquire Paul George, or whomever.
But it's moot, such a trade wouldn't work (unless we decided not to sign Kemba, or somethin).

Yeah I literally passed out on the couch, woke up, saw the graphic of him on Facebook before even checking my phone which was blowing up, and thought I was in a dream

Can someone tell me what the hell the Warriors are doing? Seeing if starting four guards Villanova style can work in the NBA?

Knicks need to use that cap space on someone fast. Maybe James Young or Vitor Faverani. Anyone.
If Philly and Miami can't find a third team, it will be good for us. I don't know how yet, but IT WILL!

I’m aware, but a contract year fresh start and an expiring contract to trade with Jaylen, the MEM pick etc. could be useful ..

I expect OKC to look to blow it up in at least 1 year. They want the money from the playoffs. So this will have to wait for a while.

In May they were rumored to have interest in Mook.
