RJ out for the Knicks.

Green for GS

Knicks win 116-114 on the road.

Excellent games from Randle, Fournier, Reddish and Burks.

Go Figure

So lets go with it

Barrett is better trade bait than he is a leading man.

Reddish all day as we add a guard to tandem with IQ.

Your animus for R.J. Barrett is tiresome in the extreme. 

And your "plan" going forward is not rooted in reality. 

Take a look at the two teams in the NBA Finals. 

Just for giggles, make a head count of how many pivotal players on their roster were original Warriors and Celtics draft picks. 

They were patient moving forward. 

Yes, made bold moves, trade and free agent wise, but when they didn't play out, they remained committed to their core players, and their systems. 

R.J. is only 21, wants to be a Knick, has gotten better every year. 

So yes, Kiid says trade him. 

For what exactly...oh, nevermind.  Not even a remote chance Knicks will shop him.  They are looking for players to fit around him. 

Not a leading man?  K. 

But not a core piece moving forward? 

[Cough]

I suspect that minimally, the Knicks would need to dangle this year's #11, the 2023 Dallas pick, our 2024 #1 and a grab bag of #2 picks for the Kings #4 to get a chance at Ivey. 

Would they dangle Randle or Toppin or RJ or IQ or Fournier or Reddish or Grimes?  I doubt Nerlens or Burke gets it done.

Big Ten POY wants NY.  Nice.


Summer league opener 7-8 8 pm vs GSW

[facilitatorn]

Pass on Davis, thanks all the same.

[kidcarter8]

Sure.

[facilitatorn]

He is not Jimmer bad, but he is not worth a lottery pick this year.

[kiidcarter8]

Trusting Leon.  But Davis likely isn't our choice, you're right.  Though he may be a solid pro.

[kiidcarter8]

Holy smokes - only the Kings could FUCK up so bad.  Woj reports Sac will in fact deal the number 4 pick if it is Ivey that hasn't gone 1-3 (so if Holmgren Banchero and Jabari are gone)

Had better be a sweet deal.  Hell..just taking next best available after Ivey would work out well for them (as in leave Ivey for 5)

Now if the team dealing up is from 5 or 6 then yes - makes more sense.

I give Knicks about a 15 per cent chance at landing Ivey.  Really prefer Banchero. 

[kiidcarter8]

Beal turns down option

Hmm....

I keep thinking though that we do something smaller.  Maybe Thybulle?

[facilitatorn]

If we can get rid of Fournier, sure.

[kiidcarter8]

Reddish plus the 11 plus what for the number 5?

[kiidcarter8]

If we can get rid of Fournier, sure.

Two incredibly different players.

[kiidcarter8]

Knicks dealing to 5 for who?  AJ Griffin maybe?

[chipstern]

Having just watched how well Cam played in our unlikely 116-114 victory over the Warriors on February 10, I would hate to see him go...three point range, great finisher round the basket, excellent FT shooter, good defender and a legit 6'8" with serious wingspan who could give us coverage at SF-SG-PF.  What's not to like?  Hakws initially exchanged Luka for Trae & Cam.  Something to ponder.  Not his fault they had a log jam at SF and SG and PF. 

But I suspect that in any attempt to move up in the draft, he's a goner.

A Trevor Ariza scaled mistake, where the coach [Brown/Thibs] isn't sold on the player, and he goes on to...well...

Oh, NEVERMIND.

To Be A Knicks Fan Is To Suffer
