this is what's wrong w/ the organization. alway trying to star-phuck. what star is coming here/even available? focus on what you have 1st and if the opportunity presents itself, and if the price is right go for it (but dont mortgage entire future for a semi-star who gets us no better than an 8 seed)

I don't claim to know much about him. Would Chris Boucher be a good fit? seems to be playing great tonight and in final year of his contract. Also has insane measurements. 6'10" with a 7'4" wingspan

just remember who Joel's agent was. And that agent is the Knicks president and he aint tied to any of these players on our roster including our personal favorite Money Mitch.

Im just saying.

I'd be all over Joel Embid. He's 26 and was universally ranked as a top 15-20 player in the league. His stock could be low now due the 76ers getting spanked. The only issue is that I can not see Philly trading Embid without moving at least one of Horford and Harris. With those those 2 contracts they can not rebuild for years. The good thing about this is that having to take one of those deals would dramatically reduce the price you'd normally pay for a young all-star big man. If we were willing to take on Harris we could probably do the deal without giving up any draft picks especially because with our cap space we'd be giving them a traded player exception which they can then use to sign a player which could be looked at as very valuable for a team that is over the cap. We'd basically be trading cap space.

Would they do Embid & Harris for Randle, Knox and Cap Space? If we had to include Mitch or the Clippers pick, I'd still do it (I like Mitch but he is overrated on this board). Also, Harris is another young player whose stock is very low right now but it wasn't too long ago that many thought much higher of him.

How are we "well-positioned"? What Randle is the only player we pay any real money to and what team is going to want him? Maybe the FO is thinking about trading RJ and the pick?

You think a team of

Burke
RJ
THJ
Randle
Mitch

is going to get the job done against the Clippers? Or are there other factors in play?

We also have a ton of cap space which can be used in a trade to create a traded player exception for the other team. We can essentially trade our cap space as an asset so an over the cap team could sign a high priced freeagent.

Assuming this player is available, what are you willing to trade for him?

Lol watch us trade for Luke Kennard (CAA client) and say we got our star lol

This FO on one.

We just need to be bad enough next year. So we can package our picks for Cade.

So, Begley, on a slow Knicks news day, takes a generalized quote...

It's almost as if role players aren't that important as long as they are decent, but having a star that creates is!

Which is why smart teams keep their picks, keep trying to hit on the picks, and keep those quality spare parts ready and then hopefully draft a star or get in FA or a trade

Sounds like Lauri.

Not sure.

He's provide some stretch 4 action, but I feel like there are cheaper options available that are better all around players.

I guess a team would have to feel strongly he's going to progress, which he very well could.

But he'll cost picks etc, and THEN be due his extension.

Why not sign someone like Jerami Grant? Better defender. Probably provides 3/5th's the offense at 1/4 the cost in assets and cap space

When you look at just the data, you can draw a conclusion without past biases.

I mean - you have to take a run at Embiid if he’s available, but there’s no way Philly takes that package. Realistically, we’re including our lottery pick and next year’s pick at a minimum. That makes us a worse team than this year’s Philly and probably demotivates Embiid by being further away from contender status, but yes, we would have to take a run.

If true, then we will probably be drafting a wing, which for means Deni, Okoro, or Vassell in that order for me

But let's be serious here. Even if he's stabbing in the dark, it's a really good stab. lol
