Our five best 3 point shooters so far are Vonleh, Kornet, Knox, Dotson, and Trier. With Dot shouldering more set the play and floor balance responsibility, this may be a viable unit, especially if Iso Zo can learn to save his isos for the later half of the clock. You have three smart play makers and two scorers, which we’ve seen can work.

This may have to be tabled for a while since Trier seems to still be limited and not all the way back with his burst or confidence.

Maybe it's this good Sensimilla but ... <toke>  cough cough... i think a Conley - KP - Knox trio could provided a very attractive landing spot for a KD.


And if he don't come we still have a respectable playoff worthy outfit.

Also add a top draft pick this year to that mix.

Here's the catch - I don't believe we'll have enough cap space for Durant if we do that deal, even if we include Trier. We're likely going to be short now, especially if we draft high, and we need to shed one of Courtly or Timmy.

But you could trade that package for Conley and sign, say, Khris Middleton, for example.

Lots of options.  If we can become known for developing young players that would be quite a feather in the cap.

Some of those we develop we must move.

Might have to move Vonleh and find the next Vonleh.

Keep Vonleh and find the other part of the bruising PF tandem assuming Zion doesn’t fall in our laps. Even if we sign a pricy forward I think Vonleh might still come back for the MLE.


As we're under the cap, we can only sign Vonleh to the room exception (about half the MLE). I have to think someone else will offer more. Otherwise, we have to dip into our cap space.

So, unless Timmy or Courtly are moved, it's a choice between Vonleh and signing a max free agent. Can't really do both.

I love Vonleh. So I'd like to move Timmy or Courtly to make room for him as a third big. But if someone's offering a first round pick, you have to consider it.

The Conley idea is interesting.
But Memphis would have to be fairly high on Muddy.
Would they see him as long-term starting PG?

The 21-year-old Dennis Smith Jr was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, but the Mavericks have apparently already decided that he doesn't fit with the direction the team is headed. Primarily, there are concerns about whether Smith can be a long-term fit next to the Mavericks' face of the future, Luka Doncic.

DAL reportedly giving up on Smith Jr already.
Would anyone swap Franc for Smith Jr.?
(I'm not advocating such, just taking a survey).

Frank is 11th on the Knicks  in 3 point percentage (.297)

Guess where he ranks on 2 pointers.

No to D Smith. Frank will come along. 

Kanter and Burke for Kufos, Randolph and a 2nd Rounder.

Kornet Robinson Kufos
Vonleh Randolph KP
Knox Mario Thomas
Hardaway Dotson Lee
Mudiay Frank Trier

Vonleh and Kornet need help while KP is mending and Mitch is raw. Zach and Kufos give you that in capable but non spectacular ways.

You have one vet in every role except PG.

No one on the roster would be shorter than 6’4”.

I don’t think it would move the needle, but it would support the development of our youth and give us a more fun team to watch. The embryonic pg play will keep us squarely in the tank, or some one will take several more steps and that will wind up cheaper than Conley or Kemba.

There's a Hero Member kiidcarter8 with 1,638 posts at this time.

There's also a Jr. Member kidcarter8, currently at 69 posts.

Both of them are fans of Jimmer Fredette, the Great White Hope of China.

Are they the same person, or does the double-i vs. single-i make them two similar but different individuals?
