Impossible to predict what going to happen with the Knicks.

But I've got my preferences!

As I've said many a time, Randle and RJ should not be on the same team. I'm hoping the breakup happens this summer.

And I remain bullish on Grimes. I would not let that man go.

So, would sign off on a deal involving Julius and Zion?

I will ride with Jules.

Poop Scoops

Julius
IQ
Two First Rounders

For Zion

Hell of a roll of the dice.

A generational talent when healthy.

When healthy, would aid and abet Knicks getting out in transition.


And this strikes me as ridiculous.

That's an easy no.

Remember Cleanthony Early, now playing in Lebanon and more than likely eating well as a result.

Zion would wander into Elmhurst or Queensbridge never to be seen again. Big as he is, he would just get swallowed up.

For his sake, pass.

Naz is interesting.

Trade Jules to Charlotte for Gordy and number 27 and a future first top 5 protected. Sign Naz to as much as we can pay him with a bigger deal implied as soon as we can. Play Naz as our starting PF

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Naz Obi Roby
RJ Gordy Fournier
Grimes Hart Rose
Brunson IQ McBride

I like Julius, but I might like that team better.

"But it's an ending contract."

Uh huh, trading our second best player for the second coming of Evan Fournier. 

Undermining our talent and hard earned chemistry for a slug who has been on injured reserve more than on the court for 4 years.

Bailing out Charlotte with a franchise talent in place of a cap space anchor around their neck.

You wanted to get a rise our of me?

Mission fucking accomplished.

Games Missed Over Last 4 Years

GH

133

JR

44

Your trade is commensurate with the Beal Dump, upend hard earned 22-23 chemistry and empower an Eastern Rival.for no good reason.

Draft picks?

We have draft picks and no roster spots.

Keep Fournier and Rose?  Hello.  Now add Hayward?

Whose minutes does Hayward take?

Hart?  RJ?  Grimes?

Sounds like a plan.

Last words.

Peace, dude.

I might like Roby better anyway in terms of team needs and he is already here.

He is tasked with being a role player.

Obi, projected as a lead pony.

Wild deals indeed.

I suspect we don't stand pat with so much talent flying about.

I divide rumors into ones about players I like and players I don't like.

Are they players who could contribute to a championship team?

The latest rumor is about Paul George. I like Paul George.

Would I want to give up the store for a 33-year old oft-injured player?

No. But I'd give up some significant stuff, he's really good, and his game should age decently if his legs work.

And we should be clear about what the "store" is and not overvalue our players and picks nor get our panties in a bunch when we give some up.

Run it back? Well if running it back means watching tired players some with feeble minds and broken psyches grind out minutes on bad legs in a reductive system while Obi stands in the corner and forgotten shooters stay locked to the bench, zero interest.

If it means getting creative with our talent in ways we haven't seen yet, ok.

If Washington reups Kyle Kuzma?

Gafford, Kuzma, Avdija, Poole, Jones
has the makings of a decent starting five.  A good backcourt.

Bench?  Kispert. Barton, Gallinari, Davis, Morris, Wright.

So those decrying the state of the protected #1 they owe us.  All hope is not lost, just delayed.

Who is their coach again?

We shall see.

I hope we score some cheap talent on the back end tonight or make a highly beneficial deal or do nothing.

There is a whole lot of smoke in the air and actual pieces landing with a bang in unexpected spots. It is a nice fanfare to draft night.
