Could be in time, as the game slows down and he learns to play more under control, tremendous upside.


I think Quicks is close to a finished product

Why?

Perceived skillset.

[kidcarter8]

There are some flashes of self-creation and he has the potential to be more than just a shooter. This is a nice combo to create space for the pull-up, but to do this consistently at the next level Quickley will have to improve his ball handling tremendously:



Great shooter -a s they say here

Has already been......GREAT at this.

Thus the "finished product" label.

WAS not a point,  IS not a point.  WONT BE a point.

Shooter

And plenty NBA viable.

[kidcarter8]

Cant say a "finished product" at 17+ PER is a bad thing, especially as a #25 overall

Not sure what the alarm is.

Knicks seeking a third team for Eric Bledsoe in talks for Lonzo Ball

Mike Mazzeo: In potential talks about pending Pelicans RFA PG Lonzo Ball, Knicks have been trying to find a third team to take Eric Bledsoe’s remaining deal, source says. Unclear if anything occurs before Thursday’s deadline. JJ Redick has also been linked to Knicks (w/ Nets buyout possible) – via Twitter MazzNYC


Eric Bledsoe   $16,875,000   $18,125,000   $19,375,000

Bledsoe is 31. 

Would seem the chances of finding a sutor are pretty remote. 

Bledsoe was part of a very complex four team trade. 

NOVEMBER 24, 2020

The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that the team has completed a four-team trade with the Denver Nuggets, Milwaukee Bucks, and Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pelicans have acquired Steven Adams (via Oklahoma City) and Eric Bledsoe (via Milwaukee), as well as two future first round draft picks from Milwaukee and the right two swap two additional first round picks with the Bucks. In exchange, Milwaukee has acquired Jrue Holiday and the draft rights to Sam Merrill, the 60th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft (via New Orleans); Denver has acquired the draft rights to R.J. Hampton, the 24th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft (via Milwaukee); and Oklahoma City has acquired a future first round draft pick (via Denver), George Hill (via Milwaukee), Zylan Cheatham, Josh Gray, Darius Miller and Kenrich Williams (via New Orleans) as well as two second round draft picks from the Pelicans (2023 via Washington, 2024 via Charlotte).

So....

As part of the Holiday Trade, the Pelicans copped two #1 draft picks as the price for taking on Bledsoe's contract.

Might not be a matter of just taking on Bledsoe deal

Pels may be offered a player with $$ left but one they like better than Eric

Knicks give
Draft compensation, maybe a player
Pels give
Ball, Bledsoe, receive picks, better player than Bledsoe
Third team
Get Bledsoe, maybe a pick.  Give up rotation player under contract, maybe not totally earning check.

[kidcarter8]

Good news though that we are involved

This signifies that we will be making a bid should Ball not be dealt and extended

[kidcarter8]

No

Knicks won't have Bledsoe on their roster in '21-'22.

A guy from my second round list makes good

Liking Cedi Osman for the Knicks, who could use some (off) color.

[kidcarter8]

AINGE about to cash in two number 1 picks for Aaron Gordon

One suspects this was not the big move Bankshot and Boston faithful awaited.

[kidcarter8]

DERRICK ROSE cleared to play but unavailable

[facilitatorn]

Derrick has to build himself back up and play himself back in. Give him a minute.

Meanwhile Elf was back and the big three of Barrett, Burks, and Randle carried us through behind a monster Randle night and a vintage Mitch night and key contributions from Reggie and IQ.

These guys won’t be feeling friendly when we see them again. The trick will be beating them without it rising to the level of a brawl.

[kidcarter8]

I see you guys5 min) got a long look at AVDIJA tonight - and a short (5 min) one of Cassius Winston.

[elephant]

Our big men playing just great. Barrett shooting better than he ever has. Burks showing consistent potency on the offensive end; Bullock on the D. The cunning young Quickley. And then there's Julius fucking Randall.

I've got no complaints. It's a good team. They play hard. They will get better.

There's no trade I'm dreaming about.
