Dominoes falling falling, trade rumor dreaming

This is tea leaves reading time. 

After signing Noel and Randle its natural to wonder what will happen with Mitch and Obi.

Both are still under contract.  Nothing has to happen yet. 

The roster is set but a trade could happen at anytime. 

Here's one I like that could happen if the Knicks ante up.


Trade: Mitch + Obi + Knox + "fill in the blank"
Receive Myles Turner

Money works.  Knicks do it to thin out a bit of the roster glut and because Turner is a cost controlled excellent starter in a conference where you must get by an Embiid or a Capella or the Milwaukee frontline. (18mil next year, 18mil the year after).  Means the Knicks don't have to pay for Robinson (Jarrett Allen got 100mil!!) and they can find Obi a landing spot since he is now blocked by Randle.  Knox makes the salary work.

Question is.... do the Pacers ask for picks also?  That's where my appetite for the deal begins to breaks down.   
Maybe the Charlotte pick could be the sweetener but I draw the line there.

Mitch, Obi, Knox, the charlotte pick for Myles Turner.

Hmmmm.....

Fred Katz: Sources: The Wizards are rescinding Garrison Mathews’ qualifying offer, which will make Mathews an unrestricted free agent. The 24-year-old Mathews shot 38 percent from 3-point range last year and started 24 games as a two-way player. – via Twitter FredKatz

Nah. Keep Toppin.

I don’t hate the Miles Turner idea, I just don’t want us to do it.

Like Turner.

But we have four #1 picks over the next two years, and a Sexton like Easter Basket with picks plus Mitchell and Obi and Kevin is simply profligate.

That's a Lillard package not fucking Turner. 

Catch your breath dude.

We have a team for 2021-2022.

If we go as constructed, no one should see more than 32-33 minutes a game in the regular season.

The guys who could make a case for 30 or more are RJ, Randle, and Fournier, and possibly Mitch if he takes a step.

I could see Thibs using a 9 man rotation of Mitch Noel Randle Toppin Fournier Burks Barrett Rose Walker with the rest, Quickley, Taj, the three rooks, and Vildoza being “situational”, though Quick might get some minor burn.

I would hope Walker and Rose are slotted for 20.

Julius, RJ and Evan for 30. 

If we project Obi as a rotation player, let alone an asset, he needs 18-20 at PF and Center [A la Taj]

Speaking of former Grizzlies, Grayson Allen to the Bucks for a couple of second rounders.

Would be interesting to revisit last year's discussion on minutes, see how those projections panned out

I would think Fornier has to really earn his 30.

Figuring Walker for 50 games and 1100 minutes.

Yikes.

More snipers.

George Hill and now Allen.

Great additions.
