Nice to see Knicks were willing to move on from Frank and Kevin
Both have underperformed and barely holding down a backup role.   So of course the Knix explore the Sell Low route...


Iggy seems a weird move for MIA.  Go all in on a 36 year old.  Lose Winslow to do so.   Justise is oft-hobbled and not as good as hoped.   But a good haul for Memf.  (they also got a 1st from GSW for taking on Iggy) .  Couldn't NYK have taken on Iggy, gotten a 1st and moved Ig for Winslow or sth else?
So we wouldn't have Portis,  Duke Ell,  or Bullock.  Hmm.

Knix chose not to take on a bad contract and get a pick,  instead loading up on a bunch of journeymen who won't be here next year ...

Dedmon walking to ATL with two 2nd's.  Sacto gets Bavaria and Len.   Pretty good dump for Vlade.   He gets to look at Jabari half a year.  Maybe free up enough $$ to resign Bog.

Not sure why ATL wanted Deadman since they just added Capela.   I guess they wanted the 2nds and still have over $30M to spend this Summer.  Better hope those 2nds are good,  because otherwise its a pretty questionable maneuver.

Sounds like we’re getting ready to starphuck our way out of Mike Miller. Gee, I wonder how that will turn out...

So ... Knicks are moving on from both Miller and Morris?

Just when one thought things couldn't get much worse?

Likely see Dedmon move again tomorrow

Well, that would make sense.  But that's assuming Deadman has value and somebody wants a pricey backup C.


Caldwell Pope Jones = Courtly.   He's been shooting well with the open looks Levi generates,  but would revert yo passivity on Los Knickeroos.

The two second-rounders Sacramento sends to Atlanta in this Dewayne Dedmon deal came from Houston (2020) and Miami (2021). Kings get Jabari Parker and Alex Len

So those 2nds are likely 45 down.   Meaning low value. I don't get this move by ATL.

The Kings signed Trevor Ariza and Dewayne Dedmon in free agency and traded both of them before the All-Star break.

Sure makes it seem Vlade just trying stuff.  At least he's willing to move on from his mistakes.  But those seemed like bad moves at the time.

Per Sources: the New York Knicks prefer Landry Shamet to Kyle Kuzma in any potential deal for Marcus Morris.

a) Clippers don’t want to give up Shamet, b) it’s really difficult for the Lakers to make the salaries work.

A shooter would be nice...

Othersowise,  how about Randle + Jr. Smith for Rozier + Monk.   And Portis + Mitch for Tangelo.  Then Knix resign Morris.


Rozier - Tangelo - RJB - Morris - Taj

Bench = some of Franc/Elf/Dot/Monk/Knox

A bit patchwork.  We'd cash in some Bigs for G's, and finally have a dynamic backcourt.  Lose Mitch, but have to give to get, and Mitch would be more useful on GSW than he would for us.  We'd have shooters and need to fill in with some defenders.  Pick up a defensive C.   Easiest position to fill.

3 second rd picks to GSW for Alec Burks and Glen Robinson III

Maybe now GSW has some picks to send us for an IsoZo.

In six games without Doncic, Porzingis is averaging 27.2 points, while shooting 48 percent from the field.

In 27 games alongside the MVP candidate, Porzingis is averaging 16 points, while shooting 39 percent.
