If you're dumping picks, this would be the reason to do so. That's a lot of picks, but that's for two elite two-way players.

If healthy, they're getting two titles out of this.

Please do not trade for Westbrook

Or if not healthy their franchise is ruined until 2027

It’s a gamble

Staggering is indeed the word.

The NBA has gone nuts. I hate free agency. I never thought that I would say this, but I've come to hate it.

I would only trade for Westbrook if we had someone else to pair him with, I like his game and mentality I think he’s made for the city and having Westbrook and KD on opposing teams in the same city would be a fun story

It is. It's a gamble worth taking however.

at this point if your OKC move RW for Dragic and Ryan Anderson from Miami and call it a day. In one day you completely rebuilt and have RW poor contract off your books. If your Miami you go for it with RW and JB.

Anyone who wants to trade for westbrook should be jettisoned to Barclays

Westbrook’s contract is really bad, but hasn’t this summer proven that cap space is kind of meaningless, if a player wants to
Play for your team sign and trades will get done, the Knicks had 70 mil in space and didn’t get them much in the first place and as we’ve seen these superstars are soft, they only want to play with other stars, so you have to have one first to get another

So the clippers will probably start

Beverly/Shamat/Kawhi/PG13/Zubac

with Lou Williams/Harrell off the bench.

Probably need to get a couple ring chasing vets but overall the roster is extremely well built in terms of having a little of everything.

Not to mention at the top of there game Kawhi and PG13 are two of the best if not best two ways players

Agreed he made for NY but his contract is atrocious. Ill rather try to develop DSJ into baby westbrook on that cheap rookie contract lol

Ujiri should definitely trade for Westbrook.

He was never coming to NY!

Front office doesn't look so dumb for passing on that meeting now.

Also - if you're talking about bringing Westbrook here, go get another cup of coffee.

Me personally MIS- I never thought they were dumb- thats why I avoided that fire mills and perry thread...
It's just not our time-thats what some of these people need to realize and we are going to have to build this
to put ourselves in position to get the next kawhi plus....BUT yes, clearly some of us
didnt think it was the FO's fault when he didnt come or when they decided to forego meeting with him...

They probably told him can you get a guy like PG? If not -it aint happening...

People seem to believe the Knicks are going to do what the Nets did after Carmelo was traded to the Knicks.
