See, Chip -
sooner or later we are at the point where INCREMENTAL improvements become necessary.
Happens with every emerging team
Mitchell for Barrett is just that.
Understand, but do not see the Knicks doing it.
RJ and Donovan is the hook up, talent wise, and spirit wise.
The Knicks are NOT GOING TO PONY UP RJ.
On REAL GM, Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro for Donovan gets it done.
But Miami does NOT have the draft capital, and no way are they givng up Bam or Jimmy.
I do believe if the Knicks ponied up Fournier & Rose, their 2023 and 2025 and 2027 #1 picks, the Mavs 2023 #1, and perhaps a couple of #2s, and even the rights to our Euro Stash, Rokas Jokubaitis, that might get it done.
With Brunson and McBride, Mitchell and Quickley and Grimes, the Knicks have enough depth in the way of point guards and combo guards who can play on and off the ball and facilitate, that a prosepct as gifted at our #34 pick, might help sweeten the pot. I would like to bring Jokubaitis acorss the pond in 2023-24, but to get Mitchell WITHOUT surrendering RJ, Obi or IQ?
Well...
BUT THERE IS NO WAY THE KNICKS GIVE UP RJ. He is one of our foundational pieces, and in the company of Brunson AND Mitchell, it would free him up to be altogether more dangerous, as would presumably, psyche willing, the earthly remains of Julius Randle.
