Looks like our front office isn't sold on the long term future of a non-offensive rim runner if we're trying to get Turner. I wonder which of us thought like that a year ago

Knicks aren't getting Turner, not after the Pacers hired Rick C. as coach.

But I can see the interest. Turner has some ability to function as a 4 instead of a pure 5.

In fact, he'd kind of be cool backing up both Mitch and Randle if Obi was traded.

Otherwise, don't see this happening, and kind of don't want it to, as whatever offense Turner brings, offset by his lesser defense, since obviously Mitch would be going out in the trade.

This is where the never ending FO volatility really kills the Knicks as a franchise. Even when we hit on draft picks, the regime gets sh*tcanned and the next one moves on. This with the Drummond rumors are just too much smoke for Mitch not to get fired.

Mitch gets injured just by merely playing and he takes a long time to recover
best ability is availability

Honestly Frank will be an ideal 2 on the lakers. Great defense and can’t hit the 3

Continuity wouldn't have made a team who hired a coach to get them winning more trade their 3rd or 2nd best player.

The volatility is bad on it's own though.

Love Mitch but Turner makes us better, he can at minimum spread the floor and hit free throws. With Carlisle, they not in a rush to break it up. So annoying…

Rose and crew keep every single thought, move, plan in complete silence..I don’t believe this turner move at all. Nobody has any clue what Rose and crew are thinking planning or doing while free agency begins tomorrow

Of course you can be mad.

Mediocre players will give you a mediocre team.

We're the New Orlando Magic.

Get used to that reality.

We'll lose our time on a meaningless treadmill for the next 3-4 years until a new FO takes over and promises Dolan that THIS TIME we will get free agents.

Meanwhile the Old Orlando Magic blew it up by trading Vucevic and 5 months later got Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner.

I hate being a Knicks fan.

not saying Fournier is a bad player. He is not. But they better not peddle Fournier as a key move. He is a role player we will have to overpay.

That is not what this FO was brought in here to accomplish.

I’d rather pay Gary Trent a decent amount more than Fournier. Fournier is uninspiring. He’s a solid scorer and ok shooter while being meh defender.

Fact is this is the Knicks reality. No stars want out and the Knicks don’t have the assets to acquire them without having nothing left on there team
At the same time they have all this cap and no real great players to add to it. And soon they gotta max Randle and rj.
The move should be sending out a few picks and finding a young player like a Sexton or SGA.
So if they ball out this year you entice Beal or lavine or someone to come to the Knicks

Lay some chips down on the table for SGA or Sexton or fox


But giving Fournier 15+ and following it up with overpaying Schroeder or Reggie Jackson or cam Payne is going to be disgusting to watch. And that is brutal
