Can’t blame him, we paid him to be the man. He didn’t improve so we look dumb. If he accepts the bench role he’ll be fine I think.

I hope we can trade him without given away assets outside Dennis or Knox for:
1) Directly absorbed into Charlotte, Detroit, or Atlanta Cap Space.
2) Dennis Shroeder 15,5M expiring contract
3) Otto Porter 28.5M expiring contract. It could include 7,5M Felicio or Thaddeus 13,5M 2 year contract as well (Bulls love to save money).
4) CP3 2 year contract
5) Rudy Gay 14,5M expiring contract
6) Terry Rozier 18,9M 2 year contract (makes sense but it's not ideal).
Batum + pick #32 for Randle
Saves Char money and gives them some production.
Free's up $4mil next year for us and we add a decent pick.
I don't know if Charlotte want to save money giving away a pick.
They only have a 90M payroll. They dont need to dump salary except if they are willing to sign great deals for FA agents, what I dont believe. Small market tanking teams tend to overpay to grab good players.
And #32 pick + 4M saving in 2021 to get a 27M useless player is too little.

makes you wonder tho why did it take them so long to figure it out? knicks fans were calling all season for Mitch to start with another stretch 4 and for RJ to be surrounded with shooters and players that dont like to dribble the air out of the ball like Payton and randle.
I would be surprised if they trade Randle. What realistic trade is out there where Knicks get anything worthwhile? Probably just better off letting his money come off.

CP3 for Randle as I am sure OKC will want to save money. salary dump is fine too then we can sign a 4 that actually fits this team like marcus Morris, Christian Wood or Gallinari and also sign another PG like Van Fleet. I just want Randle gone so he can stop impeding the development of Mitch and RJ.
I will even settle for Randle to come off the bench, but because of his contract and politics I am afraid thibs will still start him if we dont move him.

Does thunder want to get rid of CP3 though? It’s not like they are a free agency destination anyway.

They hate paying the luxury tax though, especially in these Covid times with depressed revenues.

we still are going to be suffering for another 2 seasons because of the joakim noah blunder that we could have just rode out. meanwhile he's probably going to win a ring on the clippers and we will still be paying because they got impatient

Rodimus921 wrote:Orlando get
Julius Randle
Dennis Smith Jr
Knicks get
Aaron Gordon
Khem Birch (filler)
Why for Knicks ?
Aaron Gordon is only 24 years old and has improved on his shot this season. They have him as a power forward but I think he would be more effective as a full time small forward. Currently averaging 15 ppg, 9.6 rebs 6.8 assist 1 block 1 steal for the last ten games.
