Knicks keep making clever conservative moves. What is going on?

Not sure why Charlotte didn't get on this, they need bigs as Zeller is the only one experienced on the roster. Good for NYK

Oh wowww... Knicks making smart trades instead of signing useless players?

Are the Knicks also in this trade, or just the Jazz?

Ok now you guys can use the LOL PF LOL joke.

(like the deal, Knicks have now four second rounders in 2023, think that's gonna be a sick year with the HS kids right)

Ed Davis was a Tar Heel, MJ was one too. That seemed like a match made in heaven.

Good complimentary guy to Mitchell Robinson. What did we trade though?

EDIT: apparently is was just cap space. Are we... are we making smart front office decisions??!?!

Knicks are finally smart by using their salary cap space to absorb contracts and get draft picks.

Nothing. Absorb him into CAP space. Great move by the Knicks. Especially when Houston paid 4.6M yesterday for 1 2nd rounder.

Isn’t he a backup C at this point?

Honestly I wish the guy good luck and hope he does well. He didn't fit at all in Utah, but was a true professional about it. Sometimes things just don't work.

It feels a bit lopsided since the Knicks didn't trade anyone on their part according to the tweet. First great move!

He's not even that. He couldn't even beat out someone like Tony Bradley for the backup C job last year and ended up getting buried deep on the bench most of the season. Speaks volumes when the Jazz were willing to add picks just to get out from under him.

NYK can save some more cash if Davis is willing to be bought out and give back a coupla mil.

I think in this market he can easily get vet min deal somewhere of his choosing.

I'm pretty sure you have to send at least something in return. Cash or a top-55 protected pick.

He makes like nothing in terms of modern day salary cap

2 2nd round picks for like 4-5 mill aint bad, he aint a 15 mill contract
