McDermott has raised his game as a defender.

I never perceived Fournier to be less than professional. Or out of shape.

His problem was in impacting the game as something other than a shooter.

Leon accommodated Obi for not being petulant and airing his frustrations.

I would expect likewise regarding the team's approach to Evan.

PS: Lonnie Walker to the Nets.  Eric Gordon to Phoenix.

That was McDermotts problem till Indy. He got stronger, faster and more energetic. It helped his D, fifty-fifty balls, scoring off cuts and on the break. He had all the problems Evan has but he addressed them and that is why he gets minutes in rotations.

The Walker and Gordon deals put our signing in perspective in this market. Hard to say Donte is three or four times as good as either of those guys.

Three Or Four Times Better?
« Reply #26836 on: July 02, 2023, 08:43:41 PM »
Not so hard to gauge.

Impact DD & LW had on Warriors and Lakers may be readily gauged.

Gordon is 33 and better suited to a veteran squad.

DD's all around game and chemistry with Jalen and Josh speaks to a fundamental level of chemistry.

WINNING Chemistry.

We disagree on DD.

Remember how so many Knicks fans were having hissy fits over the signing of Jalen and the trade for Josh.  Jalen was wildly overpaid.  Between the Knox-Cam deal and the Portland trade, Josh cost us two #1 picks.  Outrageous. 

Walker and Gordon are solid citizens.

Donnie is more in tune with Knicks chemistry and eiolving culture.

Three or four times better?

How about...

Better FIT

We will never know about the comparative fit.

They seem pretty comparable in ability, output and defensive redundancy on our Knicks.

None are checking Tatum, Butler, Bridges, Brown, OG, Siakam, Cade or any guys like that. None of the three recent signees mentioned are making those guys sweat on the other end either.

On to the next.

The 33 year old Green is now a Warrior.

Saric still out there.  Who would he bump?  Sims?  Roby?  You were pretty enthusiastic about the Roby.move when we made it this.past spring.

Saric pre injury.was an effective stretch 4. 

Oh well.  There's still Gordon Hayward

Work your magic, Facil

PS: You are proscribed from including Julius.

PPS: You are proscribed from trading for Gordon Hayward

PPPS: Elephant, this one is for you.  RJ & IQ for OG Abunoby.  Or sub out draft capital for IQ.

AS YOU WERE, Trader Vics of The Knicks.

Either Bol or Williams would be a great addition, giving us coverage at the 5/4 or 4/3.

We have a trade exception and second rounders from the Toppin trade, as well as the second lower mid-level.

Boston wants a #1 to facilitate a Williams sign and trade.

Williams to Dallas, 4 x $53
Bullock to Spurs
Multiple #2s all around.

Would love Bol Bol but I suspect.he is not on Knicks' radar.
