Amir Hinton is pretty interesting for an undrafted player. Has some Allonzo potential in terms of being able to make the team.

Iggy seems to have a great chance to make the team, although at some point we're talking about too many young players.

Have you guys heard about the sign-wait-and-trade for KD? Obviously not ideal for the Knicks, and involves a lot of collusion. But better than not getting him.

As for RJ - if his performance on draft day is any indication, his poise and maturity at such a young age is awfully auspicious.

So how does that work? He gets $57 million extra buckaroos while spending a pleasant year easymoneysniping little instagram followers.

The Warriors get a couple of our PorzingaPicks?

No thanks — let him rehab his eggshell-ego'd broken-down A#$ on somebody else's dime...

I think it would be more like we sign players the Warriors need/want (let's say Jeremy Lamb and Trevor Ariza), and then we throw in one other asset we can live without (a future pick, or Ntilikina or Mudiay), and send that over to the Warriors. They get players they couldn't otherwise, KD gets his five years.

Knicks? They get KD. Obviously better to sign him outright.

If you're anti KD, as you appear to be, then this doesn't make sense. But for the rest of us, it's a legit Plan B, given the circumstances.

Kris Wilkes too! He, like Brazdeikas, was a late first on some mocks.

Knicks can't keep all these guys, but at least they get a lot of kicks at the can.

A maxed out KD with a built-in rehab year only to get him at 32 and for an extra year on the down slope of his career?

No.  That isn't at all better than not getting him.

Does anyone actually use his given name Rowan?  Does he?

I'm leaning towards RJ JR.

Maybe if we could turn around and trade him somewhere for players. 

I wouldn't want to help GS, have KD signed on a 5 year mega-contract, or really even have a super-expensive KD rehabbing a year on a 4 or 5 year deal.

Trading a young all-star on his rookie contract to use the space for an injured maxed out guy with a short shelf-life would be everything the Knicks have done wrong in microcosm for the last 20 years.

Are Kam and I the only ones sane enough to throw everything at KD?

KD as a free signing, bringing us up to the salary floor while he rehabs is fine if that’s what KD wants. I’m not sending GS shit at this juncture, thanks all the same.
