Morris is going to be looking for a 4 year deal.   If a playoff team offers such,  and we lowball him with 3, he's likely gone (even if we match).   I guess we're counting on good teams not having cap space.

Looks like a real defensive battle with CLE . . .

Cleveland manned their backcourt with small children and an out of shape Mathew Dellavdova. Smallish grain of salt please. But yeah, that was good.

I’m fully behind keeping Miller. We need a coach to do just what this guy is doing and has consistently done for us even back in the GLeague.

I’d be happy if there are no trades, and I’m still waiting for a chance to see Wooten in the show.

That said, there are permutations of rumored deals I’d be down with.

Portis, Knox, Smith Jr., a Dallas first, and a second for Russell and Spellman. It means we don’t have to draft a guard and can look at some of this draft’s talented defensive bigs or wings.

DLo Payton Frank
Barrett Bullock Dotson

Gives you a nice backcourt going forward, a good talent base if everyone can keep making strides.

For that, GSW would be much better off keeping Tangelo.  Or finding a better deal.

The Wars aren't your standard bad team looking for prospects. Next year they'll have a core of Scurry-Klay-Dray.
They'll be looking to add defenders, shooters and consistent players around their high-level vets. Portis,  Knox,  Jr.  Smith are chumps for now in those regards.

GSW could use Morris,  Mitch,  Taj -- maybe Elf or Dot.  Morris,  Taj,  Elf could get you Tangelo and Spellman/Chriss.
I'd do it.  I think.   GSW gets a legit starter and two useful role players.  Knix get a scoring G,  who can hopefully become the PG we need. I would have liked WCS thrown in if they hadn't thrown him away already.

I believe Randle & Tangelo played one or two years together in Lakeland.  Tangelo - Dot - RJB - Randle - Mitch.
Franc - Trier - Knox.  + High draft pick.  + FA.
Okay,  not too great, but we'd double our count of legit starters.

They probably do want to move on from Monk...


Well, no - he is an asset.  Knicks brought up the interest.

Smith would be the point.  Randle the stud.

I think he stays if we match.  Leaves grudgingly if we don't.
If we want to be real safe we just give the 4.

Warriors want multiple #1s.  Would they take a protected Knicks 2021 #1, a Dallas 1, Payton and filler for Russell?  Don't know - but that would be closer to the price.

Payton will be a free agent and, despite his triple-double in Cleveland in which he attacked the paint with abandon, hasn’t done enough to warrant being the Knicks’ starter for years to come.



What?

Come on, NY Post.  Elfrid has a team option.

if Frank was putting up stat lines like Payton has been doing we'd be doing cartwheels.

I'd think GSW would prefer getting good players rather than picks.

But yeah if all you're offering is Portis and not much, they'd certainly want picks to even consider it.

People here wouldn't cash in Morris to get Tangelo?

I can't get past why Russell is called "Tangelo".

Jeez,  Payton shooting 22% on 3's and 49% FT.   People would be hanging Franc in effigy if he shot that poorly...

He just got a triple double.  Go try to find a single double for Frank. I'll wait.

Payton gets no respect
« Reply #10769 on: February 04, 2020, 09:52:53 AM »

I don't know what some of ya'll are watching.  Payton is a steady rudder.  Good orchestrator.  Gets into the paint. Gets assists.  Yeah he can't shoot but if he could he'd be the perfect pg.
