Deadline Discussion Thread - Thursday 2/10 3pm - Part 2

[F N 11]

my prediction by 3pm for the knicks:

1)trade Burks
2) buyout Kemba
3) Rose and crew don't speak

Solid prediction

[robillionaire]

He’d never suit up here

He'd play 30-35mpg for us.

Fine with me. It’s that or Brickemba it doesn’t matter

[god shammgod]

i told you guys, you need to make me a green arrow sig. i have the power to save the world.

tell me what you're envisioning and i'll try my best to make our dreams a reality

maybe like the spiderman meme but green arrow and satan are pointing at each other

That money is going to Mitch and Brunson

I am fully on board with this.

[Fury]

Dragic with the Knicks

39 mpg 14.5 ppg 6.2 rpg 4.9 apg 35% from the field

[god shammgod]

this trade lets us see a little more of some kids too. no cam, burks or noel in the rotation means minutes for guys.

[mpharris36]

i don't care if they waive dragic after

I think it's almost certain they would. There's no reason to keep him.

Dragic hasn't played all year. I assume it would just be a buyout situation and he lands with a playoff team as insurance..

Thibs doesn't like to play guys that aren't in shape...

Your probably looking at a 9 man rotation after this trade:

Kemba/Rose
Fournier/Grimes
RJ/Grimes
Randle/Obi
Mitch/Taj

maybe you get a sprinkle of Duece in there. But taking away some ingredients from Thibs is a good thing.

Would love to move Fournier and Randle too...but that isn't likely.

They probably just want to reply the offseason with Brunson at PG and the same unit above.

[Reign23]

these idiots will clear cap for Brunson only to watch him stay with the Mavs.

would be still better then watching burks and noel next season.

[mpharris36]

I think only Grimes gets an uptick.

Once Rose comes back he takes the Burks role and Taj takes the Noel role.

And Cam wasn't really playing at all

[Spree2Houston]

So Knicks' FO plan is

Brunson
Grimes
RJ
Mitch
Randle

mehhh

[mpharris36]

So Knicks' FO plan is

Brunson
Grimes
RJ
Mitch
Randle

mehhh

basically. And then maybe hopefully upping Fournier/Randle's value + draft picks to trade for a big salary big name.

[thebuzzardman]

I'm going to put down the crack pipe that is the Knicks to me for a while (no, not an announcement of quitting the board) for a few hours, and then see what mess the Knicks did or didn't get into.

Otherwise this deadline stuff has me hitting F5 like a tweaker. See you all in couple of hours. Maybe. *scratches self all over*

[snadler]

Harden gets traded to Philly the nba world goes haywire, in NY however Burks and fillers for the corpse of Dragic will be the only thing NYers will be talking about..lol

[dakomish23]

they won't get brunson anyway. if you're against that.

But but but the connections?!

1. Where did IQ go?

2. I don't think Thibs actually wants to play Kemba and I don't think he will be forced to after the deadline.

yeah but guys get hurt. changes who's next in line too. you might see some more duece minutes here and there. sims minutes.

[DowNY]

Lol board went from saying Cam was better than RJ to acquiring him and wanting to see him play with RJ & maybe even take his spot to being ok with trading him in a salary dump and giving up on him in less than a month.

[Reign23]

jesus, some of you guys are down on really EVERYTHING.

[HarthorneWingo]

It’s all good we have this guy leading the way……………

GOD HELP US ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the JD & The Sling Shots listening experience in real time:

Spoiler:

https://youtu.be/cLQox8e9688

For a minute I thought he was ripping off the melody of Two of Us by The Beatles.

Listened closely a few times because even comparing Dolan's music to a Beatles song well outside their top 20 is disgusting.

Turns out I was wrong. The song is just terrible on its own. It's a hodgepodge of music he likes, a full band, and embarrassing lyrics.

Sell the Knicks Jim!! You can go feeel the air blow your hair you don't caree

I wonder what the musicians JD hires to be in his band say behind his back about his music. I just can’t imagine any real musician sincerely saying to him, “Hey, Mr. Dolan, that last number really rocks, man”

[Chanel Bomber]

The problem with building around this core of Randle and RJ is that the Knicks made a lot of moves on the periphery that are akin to space debris orbiting the Earth.

So now they're working hard to undo some of those moves but that leaves them without the time, the assets or the brain power to address the fundamental issues of this team (now the Randle-RJ-Fournier trio of mediocrity). So they're gonna shed Burks and Noel and then sit out of some misplaced sense of accomplishment. And then probably try it again.

Meh.
