I hate to break it to you and this guy but odds are, that's the plan and it's not a bad one if you do some homework. If we are over the cap we'll need to send out equal value in any trade. Let's use Lillard for example:

If he starts the year with Portland and it goes badly, he's going to request a trade and he's not going to request a trade to a team that stinks. On paper, Fournier and Schroder makes this team better so you're doing what you need to do to remain an attractive destination. Now look at the trade itself... we are going to have to match salary which is about $40 mil. If you throw them Schroder (since they need a PG now) as the main piece salary-wise then you can build off that with complementary players and picks. It also makes it way easier to find a third team that might have an expiring deal they want to dump.

It's not my ideal scenario but it's certainly not LOL KNICKZ like so many want it to be.


Shhhh. You are getting in the way of the panic.


Dude Im telling you, Im STUNNED at some of the names I'm reading that are authoring these posts filled with pure panic and dread. Same dudes as 15 years ago. How?

It's actually a pretty mediocre plan that really will limit us going forward especially how many years tying up mediocre players for large sums of money.

It's a plan Steve Mills can do which is facts. Because they did the same things 2 years ago.


Now THAT'S a strawman argument.

Same thing two years ago? Really? When they signed too many PF's and 1 year guys that weren't good and didn't fit. Do tell.


Two years ago we signed an all-star and MIP and 2nd team all nba guy for a discount contract. It will be hard to top that.


Which two years ago. Man, I'm getting like Wingo. I was thinking the year Portis & Morris & Ellington & Elf & Bullocks got everything.
Which wasn't awful, it was bad roster balance.

I'm not trying to rationalize Fournier & Schröder, just that they at least fit the roster.

Buttah304 wrote:The thing is I really don’t mind Fournier. He’s a big time upgrade over Bullock. I understand that Fournier has had his struggles in the post season with Orlando but he was actually one of the better players on Boston who showed up vs BK. 16 PPG on 44% 3PT shooting on 6.5 attempts. You can literally pencil in EF for 18-3-3 on 40% 3PT on impressive volume and unlike Bullock he can actually create for himself and in the P&R and is a willing slasher/cutter.

It’s Dennis Schroder that’s causing me to have a mental breakdown. Again this is the same player since 2016. I legitimately can’t think of one area he’s gotten better at. I am willing to admit he’s gotten better defensively but there is no reason to give him the keys when he’s turning 28.

If this front office even thinks they have a 1% chance at Dame or the likes of signing LaVine Beal or Sexton how can Leon and Co be okay with Dennis at over $20 mill per year. That won’t be an easy contract to simply trade away.

The guy would be a dynamite 6th man. Why pay him like he’s a star PG. We don’t wanna be saddled with that.


How much do you think dynamite 6th men get paid these days? Star PGs dont cost 20 mil they cost 40+


Jordan Clarkson - the 6th man of the year just got 4/50.

You do realize that Schroder is asking for 4/100 right?

You don't see him as switchable 2/3 with RJ, where they both shoot, playmake, score, but Fournier better at it now as he's 7 years older and it gives RJ some time to grow into the role?

None of these moves are my favorite but I can kind of understand them.

Zach LaVine is looking for "respect" in his next contract.

Speaking at the Olympics, LaVine said "I outplayed my contract. I've been very loyal to Chicago. I like Chicago. I just want my respect. If that's now or later, it's something we've got to work out internally."

You’re purposely trying to kill me which I respect. LaVine is my dream 2 guard signing.

I think we sign Fournier (which I'm OK with) and then trade Robinson and picks for someone else.

Way too much smoke around this Fournier thing. Must be happening.

Oh well. I wanted Sexton/Ball, but that dream is dead.

Wait, hope springs eternal!

Sexton/Fournier!

Well....it's something.
