A wonderful player. For sure.
But once again, I am forced to upchuck at the suggestion that we trade #1 picks.
NONONONONO
No.
And Scott Perry agrees with me, thank goodness, as he rejects the idea of trading our most valuable assets for players who we might be able to get in free agency without gutting our team.
Melo and Marbury anyone?
Hell, EDDY CURRY for fuck's sake.
As for free agency, we will have plenty of free agents of our own come the spring/summer of 2019.
Based on how our "busts" and "bust-outs" do, we will have some serious decisions to make about talent, and the decision making process will be very revealing of how this team proceeds going forward.
That is to say, do we gut our own squad of our own free agents in order to create MAXIMUM SPACE, or TWO MAXIMUM SPACES.
My own vote would be no, but it is too early to make any such determinations.
On September 24 everyone, players, management, coaches, go ON THE CLOCK.
WHO WANTS TO BE A KNICK.
WHO WANTS TO REMAIN A KNICK.
PS: But Chip, are you saying that under no circumstances would you trade any of our #1 picks? YES, that is exactly what I am saying. No short cuts. No instant gratification. THAT IS WHAT I AM SAYING.
