Sign and trade for ayton coming in the off-season

[DowNY]

You're a better man than me dude. Still don't want him. Knicks have bigger fish to fry, unfortunately.

So you say all of that to say the Knicks should just draft a point guard at pick number 11 & hope they’re better than Jalen Brunson….hope they’re better than Dennis Smith Jr for that matter ?
Because you’re not signing another PG unless Colin Sexton takes below market value and we finesse the system. Rather trade the lot of “assets” for Dame and have an even more depleted team?

I'm definitely anti-Dame and always have been. You should be able to tell, my biggest reservation is shelling out big money, so trading for Dame's contract is definitely the last thing I want. That being said, a couple of you have scolded me so much for being wrong about Brunson, I went and watched a bunch of his highlights. Dude is nice lmao. I'm just scared, ok? The Knicks make me scared. Forgive me.

Lmaoooo aye. At least you took time to inform yourself on said player and even admitted to thinking he’s nice. Big move as a person. I don’t blame you for being scared but at this point, I’m personally numb.

If the Knicks FO can get a Toronto FRP and the Lakers 2027 FRP in this trade, then I'll regain respect for them

[SelbyCobra]

Evidence of SAC's mindset. They are trying to win now, they don't want any picks/prospects in deals, they want players for right now.

We are going to get fleeced by the raptors again. They actually have smart people running their organization.

But the Lakers don't, so it may even out

The Lakers won a championship in 2020 and the Raptors won in 2019 and we won 50 years ago. I’ll let you guess which team will be getting Eiffel Towered here

And then they traded for Westbrook and here we are, with the Lakers needing us

Sign and trade for ayton coming in the off-season

Would be a Knicks move.

Poor guard play and overall terribly balanced roster? Just sign another low post big.

If Knicks were smart (lol) they would dump Randle on them for Barnes and a pick.

Not surprised they want to move Cam, it seems like they dont think he's good. I mean Atl already gave up on him so we cant use the cmgw excuse that Dolan, Thibs and all the Knicks vets drained away his talent by trying to win games. lol

Burks is still a solid role player to me, he just looks so much worse not only as a starter but the starting pg. He'll go to another team and contribute nicely at the right position he should have been here.

[mpharris36]

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

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

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

thats true. For example tonight since Rose isn't back yet. Duece would probably be the defacto backup PG until Rose comes back.

Sign and trade for ayton coming in the off-season

I wish.

Building around RJ & Ayton would make all the patience worth it.

[Spree2Houston]

We're creating cap space to resign Mitch and bring back Kevin Knox. Reunite the Fortnite Brodies

[dakomish23]

Trading away Burks and Noel would be a start. Not trading them would be worse.

I agree.

I'm just saying it's not enough. I guess they can address the bigger issues during the offseason. Maybe. Maybe not.

Oh, but we’re still fcked bc the FO is a mess.

Just put a Knicks logo on the guy

[DowNY]

Cam Reddish really a broken player? Lol

So it’s going to look like we traded Burks, Noel, Knox & Charlotte’s pick? I guess Cam has more value than Knox and that pick, which helps the move. Just kinda wild. Especially cause it’s RJ’s homie.
Lakers have better vets to push Cam tho. Lebron specifically.

I don't want to hear anyone say Leon operates in silence...we know this team wants to clear the decks for Brunson and probably to resign Mitch.

They are so obvious. I have heard from someone too before and PM'd somewhere here that the Knicks have tried desperately to get Brunson...and if they can't get him now since DAL wont trade him they will now pivot to signing him outright in offseason.

Do you know how a Rokas' signing would work? I.e. we may need cap for him too?

my guess if we are operating as a below the cap team.

Mitch's cap hold is small.

So we would sign Brunson first
Mitch would go next and we could sign him going over the cap.

then

Rokas they probably would fit in the room exception (since we would be operating as a below the cap team again).

Or he just signs as a minimum player.

I'll be surprised if we pry Brunson from the Mavs.

[Br00kLyn]

The way we treated Cam is such a bad look around the league, definitely does not help in our pursuit of good players

It's because Thibs doesn't like him, the same guy who traded away LaVine for a rental and drafted Kris Dunn, we're trusting his eye for talent.

Why waste my time? This team is dumb af. Probably think Cam trash in limited minutes. And we get a old ass point guard and some trash pick.
