Basketball / You had to be prepared for this

At least we were sellers at the deadline and have added another FRP to use or deal.

Try to console yourself with the idea that you can re-sign Marcus Morris next season.

On hiring Rose:

Cons:

- Never an NBA exec which can lead to several problems. One, especially, is knowing as a leader how to run an NBA team well when we've had such an awful way of running things for decades


Well as an agent he's worked with plenty of NBA execs. Good ones and bad ones.  So he should have a first hand education on the best practices.

Knix hire a GM on trade deadline day.   And this for a terrible team loaded with expiring contracts.  Classic Knickdom.

Word around league is these guys have the cred where players will now come more willingly to NY

That was the theory behind Isaiah & Phil as well ...

There's a difference. 

With Zeke we expected younger players to want to play for him.  But we had no cap space anyway.
With PHIL there wasn't really any young players that wanted to play for him if he wasn't going to coach.

We’re gonna swing deals with all these picks. I don’t see it all used for players to keep

The "disaffected superstar who wants out" strategy.   

Minnesota hurt that strategy by getting KAT's choice DLO.

What if Embiid and Simmons relationship fractures?

Embiid is/was a Rose client.

Hmmm.....

Sad to lose Morris, but pleased the powers that be, have been, and will be, (Dolan/Perry/Rose) chose a direction, and executed a strategy that -- on PAPER -- moves the Knicks rebuild forward, and strengthens our position going forward with player transactions.

Welcome home, Queens own, Moe Harkless.

Meanwhile, the Knicks have acquired several assets for a player in Morris who was set to be a free agent. Knicks set to have seven-plus first-rounders in next four years in their rebuilding process.

With team president Steve Mills fired on Tuesday, teams were under the impression that a deal for Morris could be done. Prior to the firing, any deal for Morris had to blow away the Knicks to get done, with both sides having mutual interest in negotiating a deal in free agency this summer.

Sounds a lot like our front office fiasco cost us, and we wound up with 2 days to get a deal together. We sure didn't get much.   

We got a 2020 1st and a 2021 2nd.  That's not nothing.

Knicks have a GM.  Perry.  He can handle this.  They hired a President of Ops.  One who has been watching events unfurl probably since the Fiz press conference after ten games at 2-8.

Months to look for a Morris deal,  the guy is having a locked-in career year,  and that's all the Knix can manage.  Geez.

Knicks told Lakers its Kuzma or no deal.   Lakers paused.

Clippers and Knicks are seriously engaged in talks that would send Marcus Morris to the Clippers, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Two young players potentially involved to New York: Clippers' Mfiondu Kabengele and Terrence Mann.

Funny how Memphis added Jae Crowder to the deal along with Igoudala to Miami.

Not even his own team wanted Crowder anymore.
