Horford is in year 1 of a horrible 4 year deal.

it would take multiple 1st round picks to move him.

Only Shumpert couldn't make a layup and became more preoccupied with his hair, rapping, fashion, and reality tv than actually working on his game. The difference between the development between a player like Shump and a player like Jimmy Butler is work ethic and dedication.

Okoro can make a layup and is one of the most efficient finishers in the draft. That combined with his work ethic tells me his floor is higher than Shumpert.

Okoro's floor is probably OG Anunoby's first couple of years before he became an efficient 3pt shooter this season.
so his floor is not cracking 10 ppg till his 3rd season? Nah I’ll pass on that lol

Al Hoford: 34 years old, 3 more years left, plays the NBA's least useful position.

Tobias Harris: 28 years old, 4 years left, stretch 4, can function as a 3

I mean, the answer is neither, but at least Harris is in his prime, his contract MIGHT catch a year off his prime, but 90% peak Tobias, and he plays stretch 4, the en vogue NBA position.

I'd ask for a pick in this year's draft and another years draft for having to carry his contract. Otherwise, the 76'ers can luxuriate in carrying those two contracts on the cap.

BTW, I think it's impressive that the 76'ers managed to tie up roughly 50% of the cap in their 3rd and 4th options.

I mean, stuff like that used to be the Knicks speciality.

Those are both horrific deals, however Horford's is only partially guaranteed in the last year. For them to move either one of those guys they'd need to be giving us 2 first rounders, and even then I don't think I'd do it.

When you look at nbadraft.net picks past our 2nd 1st rounder... this might be the best possible year to find our own PG version of a Michael Redd type steal... still available here... Malachi Flynn, Riller, Tre Jones, Cassius Winston... This whole draft has that kinda vibe. Top heavy: No. Still solid mid 2nd: Yes. Someone picked way later is likely gonna be the steal of the draft. That we have two picks in the late first/early 2nd range = win

A late 1st is not worth tying up all that cap for that length of time. If there was another 1st or some pick swaps in future years then it would be more of a possibility.

I said the same. I will need 2 unprotected FRP and I want it for 2024 and 2026 and this year’s FRP And that’s still a reach.

I would do it for a pick 2020 swap (#27 for #21) and their 2021 FRP.

I think they move Horford & J-Rich for CP3, it makes too much sense for both teams and neither has to throw in a pick. I can't seem them moving Harris since Doc got the best season of his career out of him.

Mikal Bridges is two years in and hasn't cracked 10ppg yet either. Would you consider him a bad pick as well? Last I checked everyone around here is butthurt we took Knox over him.

If Okoro's floor is Anunoby then I feel good picking him.

I said to take Mikal over Knox before that draft. Now I'm saying take Vassell over Okoro.

Now what? :lol:

Seriously, Mikal is a glue guy on what is a talented young team. We already have RJ. We need some shooting now.

Mikal is a decent player but he is the last guy Knicks fans should be butthurt about missing out on. SGA is the guy we should’ve picked.
