Conley
Afflalo
Carmelo
KP

Not exactly what I am proposing. I would like to hear your ideas.

As I say, why don't you start with yours.

Knicks have 14 players and 2018 and beyond first rounders to trade. Not a lot of variables.

What do you think is a package the Grizzzlies will consider?

To manufacture a trade for a stud like Conley, we will have to find a couple of trade partners.

Calderon, Early, and Seraphin would be my starting point. By midseason a lot of teams might be looking to trade a viable chip in attempt to rebuild; that will be the time to make a move I suppose. Let us all hope that Memphis lose a lot of games to force them to push the restart button

I agree with you fishmime. Strange of things have happened in this league. I am just Hoping and praying that we can get lucky

Actually, if we could sign Whiteside, we could use Lopez and change to get a pretty good player and upgrade our team. Not sure we move Lopez so quick after the trade though, might not sit over well with players, be it depends on what we turn into.
We have to bring in some really good players still.

I don't think Riley will ever let go of Whiteside. He is grooming this kid to become the next Alonzo Morning

He will be a completely unrestricted free agent. Riley is not the head of a huge Costra Nostra family, lol.
We can sign Whiteside free and clear and build something dominant.

he will get close to a max contract next yr. very underrated PG

I think it'll just go unfulfilled. Conley doesn't want out and the Grizz ain't trading him. Plus the Knicks don't have the assets. Kind of end of story?

Martin,who do you think the Knicks should go after as a PG? We need one desperately.

This is not the year to worry about making headway in the playoffs, it's about maxing out KP and Grant and Gallo potential. It's about seeing what they have in Seraphin, DWill, Thomas, Rolo. It's about making the Triangle work much better than it has.

There is no doubt that the Knicks are desperate for a PG, but they aren't desperate enough to give away future assets willy-nilly. If a no-brainer deal comes up, then yes.

Seems like you are in panic mode even though the Knicks are outpacing any realistic goal, they are 8-7 while playing the 5th toughest schedule in the league.

This is a grow year, not a must-win year.
