Who exactly would the knicks give up? Sixers use Randle off the bench? don't see a match especially what sixers are asking for

Both Ben and Kyrie have refused to take the vaccine, which would be required of them in order to play home games in NYC.

The only way the KNICKS would/could trade for Ben is if he decided to take the vaccine (or the team was okay with him only playing away games). The only way Kyrie could suit up for the New Jersey Nets is the same.

Where have you seen Simmons won't get vaccinated? he's refusing to see sixers medical team, but haven't hear about vaccine..think you might be wrong on that

At this point we should just trade for them anyway and tank and maybe by next year the waiver will be gone

I fear the Front Office tries to build a team with Simmons, Randle, and Mitch Robinson. Can you imagine the spacing and the power of this team in the clutch?

I don't get it...

It's probably gonna be a 3 team trade, with us giving up something like RJ, Obi, Grimes, picks, etc and getting Simmons back

Simmons
Burks
Fournier
Randle
Noel

Gross.

Unless the Sixers actively want Randle or RJ I imagine it would be a 3 team construct where the Knicks send out salaries and a few of our excess picks and the Sixers use those to flip for the star player they actually want...

Fournier
Walker
Knox

gets there money wise. Maybe we send out Mitch, Obi or IQ also as a sweetener and then probably like 2 or 3 picks with that. With at least 1 or 2 being unprotected. :dontknow:

I don't think there is any way if they take in a major salary that they hold onto Fournier

There's no way the knicks can have 3 lefties in their starting lineup..2 is too much...

I mean I don't have a lot of confidence in this regime but even they can't be this dumb.

Rj is probably gone now and then they’ll trade Randle when he’s eligible!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are overthinking this. A trade for Simmons only works if we send them Randle I doubt they do it for Fournier since they want a all star.

It would probably be Randle and Burks for Simmons since Burks played for them before.

Post #19 » by **mpharris36** » Mon Dec 13, 2021 3:34 pm

even a Randle for Simmons type deal doesn't make sense.

SImmons can't shoot
Obi still can't shoot
and since neither can play center we would be playing a center that can't shoot.

You can get away with lineups with 1 guy that can't shoot...maybe at times 2 guys that can't shoot. But 3 guys that can't shoot? What are we trying to set basketball back 50 years?

It's more than likely that this will be a multi-team trade to get Simmons shipped to the Blazers. Who can the Knicks give up to obtain SImmons in a 1v1 trade?
