Knicks gleaned excellent rotation pieces with consecutive #25 draft picks, Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes.
In 2023, with our own #1, and potentially both The Dallas AND Washington #1, picks I will be in no rush to pony up #1 picks, unprotected or protected, leading up to February 9th, for marginal players.
OG is admittedly very tempting, but at what price?
Hey
Kyrie Irving
Russell Westbrook
James Harden
Rudy Gobert
Donovan Mitchell
Donovan has worked out quite nicely for Cleveland, but every other all in deal has been underwhelming or a disaster.
And after the Nyets mortgaged their future to make Durant and Irving happy by going all in on Haden, Philly got to pick up THE BEARD for Simmons, Seth Curry the earthly remains of Andre Drummond and two #1 picks, after the Nyets gave up Seven #1 picks [4 swaps. 3 unprotected], a future all star in Jarrett Allen, a solid wing in Carris LaVert, and I forget what else.
