2019-2020 College/Draft thread 13: One week to go

[Traveyknicks23]

Let’s take Russell Westbrook and without giving up any assets. We make the playoff this year and shoot for an all star during FA in 2021. We can always move Westbrook later with future draft picks if needed.

Let’s make the playoffs this year.

Does sound fine in theory but you gotta think of that doesn’t work we are stuck will this contract so I get why everyone is worried

This is the only way I can accept this!!!!!

Are you signing WB to attract stars?

Nobody wants to play with him!!!

Even you know that's not true. Westbrook for all his faults still actually produces and hasn't had a losing season in like 10 years. Wall and WIggins are way worse.

I'm not saying it's a good deal but this is your MO when the Knicks are rumored to do something you don't like. You go off the rails

it is worse becaues it does exactly that...makes us just good enough to never get a pick worth a damn and never good enough to win anything important.

Wiggins would still potentially land us Cade

You still holding on to that hope huh? Just like we were supposed to get Zion... Doncic... Playing and hoping for something that at best has a 12.5% chance of happening is the dumbest thing we can do and no it does not make Westbrook the worst contract in the game. That logic doesn't make any sense.

I'm not advocating for Russ but at least the mfer is productive and there's a world (albeit small) where he rehabs his value and makes himself more attractive to a real contender with us. He still was an engine on a team that was on pace to win over 50 games in the west last year.. He's not a bad player. He's just flawed. If Houston is going to compensate us to take him I can see why Leon and co. would be interested.

they have nothing to compensate us with.

Here's the thing if Westbrook was a FA today

would you sign him to a 3 years 133 million dollar contract?

If the answer is no, which it should be. Then its not even worth discussing beyond that point.

Let’s make the playoffs this year.

Why THIS year?

There aren't gonna be any crowds. No MSG excitement. Top-heavy draft class.

If there was ever a year NOT to be good and make the playoffs, it'd be this one.

No I get it right. What am I saying is let’s say hypothetically Greek Freak wants to come to the Knicks, then we can send him packing for 2024 and 2026 FRP or something like that.

The rumor is they don’t even want to give up Knox.... so I am hopeful the main things we are offering is taking the contract off their hands, Randle, and maybe a 2023 Mavs pick.

No picks

NO WB

Don’t see how making the plays is bad for any of our young guys including the one we are about to draft who the hell cares about crowds

Mitch has been here in NY for so long but didn’t make a playoff and RJ will be in Year 3. If you don’t make playoff, then let’s just sit these young guys who we plan to keep, stay at home due to COVID.

how are you affording another superstar next year with westbrook and noah dead cap space making over $50 MM by themselves?

And who wants to play with Westbrook?

I dont think we can get into the playoffs with Russ. The team will be near unplayable.

We would have to trade RJ and Frank to get better shooters.

Stop quoting me.

When you're done cleaning the bathroom make me a sandwich.

No idea what that means, brother.

Are you supposed to be insulting women? Are you calling me a woman and telling me to go cook and clean?

Either way you're corny - and you never answered a simple question. Do better.

[Guano]

some of you are okay with ruining draft position in a loaded draft just to get swept by the Nets or Heat or Boston - ffs what's wrong with you all.

It's only 72 games in 5 months. It's fast. We won't suffer too much with losses and bad play...

Tanking is better than trying to win with WB...

Did you get the underside of the toilet seat? Don't miss that....

Are you suggesting that cleaning and making a sandwich is woman's work? That's sexist, you should examine your biases.

Hostility all in the air... this is wonderful! <3

Bruh we couldn’t even land top 5 with with a bad roster and no shooters wtf makes you think this wouldn’t happen again next year?

[HarthorneWingo]

If Leon makes this Westbrook trade, we storm MSG.
