I would not be bid out by Lakers for a player his caliber. You take on Hill no problem. You can waive and stretch him if you need space.

True, if you know he's committed to here then you take Solomon Hill. Can still find a way for 1 max this offseason to pair next to him.

AD is making 28 next year. If you waive and stretch Hill, he counts for another 4.5. That is less than the max for Kyrie. So you still have the other spot for AD.

Question - If we get the #1 pick, does Zion's caphold eat into the money we can spend ( I believe the #1 pick carries a 9mil caphold) or only after he's been signed.

Am I the only who couldn't care less about the press conference going on talking about & to our FORMER player... and wondering why it's being mentioned in the FA/Trade Rumor thread? When there's already another 5 or so threads dedicated to this former player. Lol.

We aren’t out on AD until we start buying out/trading our big money expiring vets

Kevin Knox, Dennis Smith Jr, Mitchell Robinson, 2019 First Round Pick, 2021 NYK First Round Pick.

Knowing he’ll commit.

Kyrie Irving obviously comes here, along with Kevin Durant. We still have Ntilikina, Trier, 2020 First, 2021 First (Mavs). I do it the more I think about it. The Knicks will still suck, maybe win a few more games but will likely be a top 5 pick. NO should consider.

Knox should hold higher value as he’s what 4 years younger.

Robinson is one of the most interesting prospects in basketball, could be dominate.

And DSJr is more dominate than Ball.

The Knicks 2019 pick >>>>> Lakers Picks.
21 pick will be a high 20’s pick. So not much of a loss for us.

To me this does beat the Lakers' offer. Gun to head I think I take Knox over Ingram.

Agreed except I'm not sold on Kuzma > Knox. Kuz is about to be 23 years old and Knox is the second youngest dude in the league. If I'm rebuilding I'd rather have Knox. You know what Kuzma is and it ain't all that great.

The big question is how much they value our draft pick. It would have to be #1 unprotected. We also wouldn't be able to offer both Kyrie and Durant the max. However, I think they have to go with AD now and figure out the FA part later.

2019 1st Rnd Pick (unprotected)
2020 Right-to-Swap (Top 5-8 Protected)
2021 - 1st Rnd Pick (Lower of 2021 NYK or 2021 Dallas Pick - Top 5-8 Protected)
Knox
Frank or Mudiay
Dotson or Trier
Kanter
LFT

It would take some crazy ish like that... A huge price tag. LA could offer more than us but what the hell do the Clippers or bucks have to offer?

It eats into our money until we sign him to a deal (which is why it’s likely we would sign him first & wait the 30 days like Cavs did Wiggins).
