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

[taikibansei]

I think this trade deadline for us was pretty simple:
- Burks, Fournier and Walker were available to anyone willing to trade for an expiring. Nobody was willing to do that and wanted us to attached a first. We didn't think that was worth it, and rightfully so.
- Randle was available to a team willing to provide a return comensurate with something closer to who he was last season that who has been this season, and that wasn't out there. We were never dumping him for nothing.
- None of the combinations of our young players are really all that enticing when it comes to landing a star, especially with the lack of valuable salary fillers (our salary fillers are all underperforming their deals).

I agree with all of this. I think we tried to do deals, but the offers we got would have made us even worse. I'm glad the FO didn't panic. While I would have loved to see Randle gone--and wouldn't mind Fournier and Walker going with him--not even the trade rumors were particularly enticing. That said, I still don't get why we traded Knox and the CHA FRP for Cam Reddish if we didn't want Cam Reddish. That's my main issue with us at the deadline.

I really find it hard to believe that Alec Burks couldn't have been moved for an expiring contract.. or even Kemba.

Lillard will demand a trade this summer. Every pick is going out

Yeah, I agree, but I don't think the FO kept Burks and/or Kemba out of love. I think they also wanted them gone--particularly Kemba (who was benched earlier with FO approval)--but just couldn't find a decent deal.

I'm going to stick to this belief--admittedly without evidence--as it will help me sleep tonight.

OK, F this

Time for a break

Enjoy the rest of this miserable season if you can and don't murder each other

So you were saying about these contracts being easily moveable without assets attached …

Never said they were easily movable. I only hoped they could engineer a deal. I was quite vocal that Randle is now overpaid. I did think Burks was movable and possibly Evan. What I said is bad contracts get traded every season so there was still hope. Evidently not

I might watch just to see if Thibs has a stroke during a game

I’ve run out of reasons to watch. This is just bad. I’m getting really busy so this garbage is easy to cut out now. I’ll browse the board, but I’m not watching this team the rest of this season

Looking at these jersey numbers, Robert Randolph was right about 11:7. He just had the wrong team involved

If KD--at 33 with multiple serious injuries throughout his career--doesn't come back this time healthy and stay healthy, that team melts down big time in the playoffs. Couldn't happen to a better group.

You should off yourself if you do switch up and become a Nets fan.

[Oscirus]

the knicks traded for 2 million 2nds that they dont use, you telling me that they couldnt use those to entice teams?

[robillionaire]

The spurs were going to buy out dragic, hopefully the Knicks get involved in scooping him up off waivers. We can cut McBride to free up a roster spot

We can cut Noel and send Randle to the G League to make room for Dragic and Joe Ingles.

They should not let a Sonics fan sabotage the franchise with their bad roster suggestions!

Did the Sixers actually become the favorite to get to the finals out of the east? I think they might have.

How in the world did they actually turn the Simmons situation into Harden who may actually be the perfect player to pair with Embiid?

It's so mind boggling how other teams get things done while the Knicks just flounder around regime after regime. One decent season duped the FO into thinking they accomplished something and ruined it all just as quick.

I blame all of you...not Knicks fans... just you here on the forum, all of you.

a lot of people are saying the nets got much stronger with ben but i actually think its the sixers in this trade. they didnt even give up maxey or thybulle. they have a shot to go to the finals
