What will you feel if our great acquisitions are Schroder, Oubre, Chris Duarte, and Isaiah Jackson?
They would replace Payton, Burks, Rivers, and Noel in the roster.

That's not bad. It's a consistent 4/5 seed. Could pass up Philadelphia.thebuzzardman wrote:prophet_of_rage wrote:Whoever you hate ends up being good so let's go Oubre! Reading in the post today that if they lose Bullock they may resign Fra0nk. And Thibs wants Powell.

Other than the cap implications moving forward, which I don't think would be good
Powell and Frank "in" while Bullocks and Burks out seems like a wash. If not a step backwards overall.
I did reach and assume Burks won't be back.
What are your thoughts if Knicks do this:
Trade for Sexton. Let's assume the Knicks somehow maintain #19 or 21, and Obi is gone.
Sign Powell.
Kind of locks the team in with the following, unless another trade can be made. Meaning, as discussed, getting Sexton but no one else (Powell or Ball -for the Ball fans) means Knicks can fit in a pretty large contract before signing Sexton and Randle.
Sexton/Rose
Powell/IQ
RJ/? (Vildoza?)
Randle/? (vet PF to replace Obi)
Mitch/? (vet C, preferable with some offensive ability)
Draft a 3&D wing at 19 or 21,

One wildcard: The Cleveland Cavaliers and the No. 3 pick. There has been some debate about what direction the Cavaliers will go on draft night. Mobley has been largely discussed there, as well as the potential of Green and even Suggs. The Cavs are also engaging teams in trade discussions surrounding guard Collin Sexton and hope to move Kevin Love and his remaining $60 million elsewhere, per sources.

Powell would be a nice pickup, but Portland is gonna match unless they decide to totally rebuild.

If Oubre was willing to take 10-15 million for 2 years with the fact he knows he's a 6th\7th man kind of player, and maybe keeps the contract brief so he can "prove it" and still get a big pay day when he's 26/27, then MAYBE.
But all your points are what he seems to be. So he'll want too much money, may try to pump his stats, and seems like he could easily wind up disgruntled. No thanks.
And I kind of like him as a player, but there seems to be those kind of red flags there.
Also, I wouldn't even want him on the Knicks until they solved, at minimum, attacking guard.
Not even sure he'd be a choice even after that is solved.

Not putting this anywhere near the trade board, but I can see Oubre wanting to do what Jerami Grant did. If Pistons move Grant, I could see them doing the same thing with KO.
Real question would be: Would we trade Knox for KO at 4/80?

Oubre on a 1 year deal would be SuperCool Beas all over again.
