Its one of the few teams that can trade for Randle (they have a TPE) and they might need a PF.

I dont know if Randle fit their style and if they can develop chemistry until the playoffs...

Nevertheless, I doubt our front office will deal with Randle to make the team weaker. We would have to drop to less than 35% winning percentage to they consider trading our best player...

Vuc letting his prime years go down the toilet. Good offensive C who at the minimum could be the anchor offensively for a playoff team.

I think Olando wants to get rid of them. But no team wants to pay for them, Teams look for Centers that can block shots, PFs that can stretch and shooting wings that cost less...

I think you could get a late lottery pick for vuc at least. gordon could also net one because of his versatility on D

Also, Ainge lowballs everyone. They'd probably offer a 2nd or ask us to throw a 1st in or something

In what universe are you guys living where the Knicks don't consider themselves BUYERS right now? Because from where I'm sitting the plan sure seems to be to drive down Obi's value as much as possible before shipping him out for even moar vets in the next season or three.

Knicks aren't moving Randle. If anything, Leon's trolling for a blockbuster sending out Mitch & RJ.

Stretch 5’s are valued highly as well. Totally open up the offense. We got RoLo bombing away

But almost every team has a rim protection shot-blocker center. Few teams play with a weak defender starter center like Denver (Jokic), Wolves (Towns), Toronto (Baynes/Boucher) ans OKC (Hoford). Only the first one is competitive.

don't like their trade assets.

if we're trading Randle, I'd try to get a potential lottery pick so we can boost our chances at top 4. Kings, maybe? Bagley has been a bust and there was that thing w/ his dad saying they should trade him

A snapshot of the NBA standings 30% of the way in doesnt mean that he couldn’t be the starting C on a better team. ORL has made the playoffs the last few seasons with him at C. It depends on the roster.

really like John Collins. he's everything I wanted Obi to be (and only 6 months older)

The Hawks spent all that money on role players, and they're not much better than us :lol:

Hawks haven't been fully healthy. Hunter and Bogdanovic are big pieces that are out, Gallo was out too earlier

They should have trusted the young guys more and saved the space for someone else.
