Is tonight going to be total chaos and frenetic with a ton of trades? Superstars, stars and role players?

trading a 1st for Terrence Ross....?

does this FO have any pulse on where the team is at? that's a move a contender makes, not a team that is still rebuilding

We're not a rebuilding team.

We're looking to take a step forward as a playoff team.

Yes, and Knicks will be involved in none of it

OKC in the middle of it

we still kinda are rebuilding. one playoff appearance doesn't guarantee anything for next season

+ in terms of Ross, trading away 1sts for role players is something you do when you're a legit contender, Knicks are not. we got smacked in the playoffs and quite frankly didn't look like we belonged

Why are you bashing the FO? Weird

Is it because in the article Begley typed out a question “Would the Knicks or Nets have interest in Ross?” How does Begley asking that speculative question impact the front office?

When any speculation is made or random rumor comes about we are holding that against the front office?

Playoff teams aren't rebuilding. We're just building towards contention. We have a semblance of a foundation.

It's a trade you make if you think Ross will be better than whoever you can get with that late 1st. The article never says we're trading a 1st for him though.

if the rumors are true that the Knicks are going after older, more ready now draft players + trading picks for middling role players, than yeah, I'd question the direction of the team

I just don't think it's a guarantee we make the playoffs next season

no, but there have been reports of Knicks looking to trade out of their picks for vets, and this is one of the few names we've heard. KOC also mentioned Ross in regards to the Knicks

god shammgod · Post #675 » by **god shammgod** » Thu Jul 29, 2021 3:18 pm

he's shorter and thinner than noel though. so he's probably not built to be an nba center.

I could see Ross as some kind of cheap Obi replacement IF Obi got dealt for Sexton.
You know, as a BUDGET FA SIGNING.

I swear, if the Knicks burn a pick on this tattooed dbag, I'm going to be upset.
Well, more than usual.

This front office has been nothing short of solid and has placed us (Knicks) 1 year ahead of schedule. Why not take advantage of the progress and shoot for the second round or more.

IMO, we need shooters, hopefully Reggie comes back in an off the bench capacity/starter fill-in, a backup center and point.
Ross would be solid, TJ Warren solid, a few other vets would be great. The Bucks without Bobby Portis' contributions probably would have had a different outcome.

Also, to be honest Duarte would not be a bad pick, becuase he can shoot the fkn rock and he's a dam tough. New York will love his grit.

Ross is 30 and only has 1 yr left on his deal. maybe I'd trade Knox + a couple 2nds, but definitely wouldn't part w/ a 1st for him. doesn't fit the timeline of this team
