Doubt indy would give up a first for an expiring contract.

They might if you make it lotto protected. JJ is a great player to add at the deadline.

Rivers turns into Lincoln Hawk in the playoffs.

we would probably get both in the trade. Knicks aren't taking back crawfords contract.

But Rivers is not garbage. He has gotten a lot better since he came into the league. He defends a bit and shots over 40% from 3. He is getting better and better and only 24.

JJ I would ship off the another team like Milwaukee for another 1st rounder. Plus I want there 2020 and 2022 picks

Rivers is definitely not garbage, kid plays with the chip on his shoulders because ppl making fun of him, he has heart and ppl who says he's garbage clearly talked out of their arses.

He was one of top performers on the Clips playoffs run last season.

Dont want Crawfull sorry. Rather have a dude that has really good insight about the game of basketball in JJ.

Did Rivers progress a lot? Last time I saw him he was a borderline NBA player. Isn't he more of two guard?

best asset that we're gonna gain is our own 2017 pick ending up higher in the lottery

It's a very underrated part of doing the move

He can shoot, defend, and create. He's been getting a lot better at finishing as well. He's impressed me this year.

Can someone start the Courtney Lee trade thread?

My offer was a top 8 protected pick this year with Jeff Green for salary cap purposes.

I was going to draft him, but like Clarkson more. Want to see a little bit more, but the fact that I even THOUGHT about it means he has been playing kinda solid.

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin possibly being free agents this summer has to be more important to Doc. His son is still going to collect his checks.

Not like he is cutting his son from the NBA lol he is sending him to a very bright situation for a young player who needs the spotlight at this stage in his career

And by the looks of it rose and jennings aren't going to be here for long, Austin may actually end up being the starting Point Guard. :lol:

Indy might do that. If they would we should absolutely pull the trigger

What the Knicks need is a true point guard to complement Melo and Porzingis and some defenses pieces around them. Along with a defensive scheme and coach that works.

Much easier to find a scapegoat instead of addressing the real issues with this roster

the real issue being they built a team around a player who's not a leader and doesn't care about winning.

The lies. We never built a team around him. We failed. Pray for KP.
