Maybe we can get him for 20 million? I’m meh mostly cause I don’t know what he will be in the future. He can’t stay healthy so he hasn’t been able to work on his game. But he is still young and maybe the FO thinks that with the right coach and environment he can have a career resurgence like Randle did.

He has talent but his drive scares me. Does he even care?

What are the alternatives, are you fine with going into next season with Payton still starting?
Outside of trying to trade for Sexton, I don't see any avenues to getting much better at PG. We're not going to start a rookie point guard next season and IQ is not a PG. Nobody we get is going to be this perfect player some of you are holding out for and the 2022 free agent pool of PGs isn't that great either.

Every point guard in the league is better than payton. Buy cutting him & running with quickley Rose and Luka Vildoza would be better. Seriously we dont need to rush to sign someone. Addition by subtraction. I say we go after chris paul. Screw it throw him huge money for a front loaded 2 year contract 40 million. 30 million year one 10 millions year two. Resign Rose.

CP is owed 40 mil i n one season. He's on a winning team in a low income tax state. LOL at him leaving all that money on the table.
Schroeder is the obvious choice.

Vildoza hasn't played a single minute yet, and IQ is not a PG. You say we don't need to rush, but we do need to find a long term solution at PG before Randle gets paid, and before RJ & Mitch get their extensions as well. You can't just keep punting on caproom, eventually your own players will start to eat into it.
The Suns are going to resign CP3, he has no reason to leave there and they have no reason to let him walk, they have absolutely nothing to replace him with.

Randle is like Zion
RJ isn't really like Ingram
Ball is like Ball.
If the Pels are kinda/sorta having some issues with a Ball/Ingram/Zion lineup where Ingram is a more advanced "get his own shot" guy vs RJ right now, why would the Knicks be that much better with a similar set of players, only RJ isn't as good as Ingram - yet.
Other than RJ is a more team oriented player than Ingram, but I don't think that changes the equation.
Again, I'd be fine with the Knicks getting him. It depends who the other wing is for next 2 years of RJ's development.
Zion is the worst defending pf in the league. point blank period.
Ingram is a trash defender

My point is, you add Lonzo and at best you duplicate a lesser version of the Pels offense, which while it plays at tempo, isn't THAT great. And that's with Ingram being much better in the role of creative wing than RJ is now and for the next probably two seasons after that.
And that's if the Knicks decided to play at tempo, which Thibs doesn't seem to do.
This isn't knocking Lonzo or RJ. It's more, that if the Knicks DO decide to get Lonzo (and I sort of doubt they'll pursue him) then it doesn't make sense unless there's a creative wing added that's better at it than current RJ.
I want to emphasize I say "Current RJ" because I think RJ will become a wing who can get his shot anytime from anywhere but that that player is three seasons away. Where RJ will be the super old age of 23.
See my other posts on this.
If Lonzo starts, there is only Randle who is capable of getting his shot off at will. Rose stays on the bench.
If Rose starts and Lonzo starts, then Bullocks goes to the bench, and is Lonzo really, in totality, better than Bullocks, but he'll cost at least 2X more.
Lonzo at PG with RJ and another wing who can create, while retaining Rose & Bullocks for the bench, now THAT makes sense.
Also, the Knicks could acquire Lonzo and kind of juggle the lineup the way they do now with Payton, where Lonzo plays 18 mpg at PG, Rose gets more minutes at PG, and then Lonzo gets moved over to Bullocks spot for his other 15-18 minutes, while waiting to get that other wing
