The Knicks have registered interest with Golden State about trading for D'Angelo Russell, league sources confirm.

It's unclear how far along talks have gone, but Bobby Portis is one name that came up in the conversations, per SNY sources.

Per SNY sources, Frank Ntilikina's name has also come up in conversations between the Knicks and Warriors around Russell.

Some people around Russell said over the summer that he was open to the possibility of signing with New York because he liked the city and he was intrigued by the idea of competing so closely with the Nets -- the team that decided to sign Kyrie Irving instead of bringing him back.

I like him next to RJ, and if they want Portis, Frank and Payton, that's a good deal. Plus they will have a top draft pick, upgrade the back up pg. Think frank around curry and klay would be good for him

Oh yeah, Russell would fuel that knicks nets rivalry.

You think we can obtain a young all star player for Portis, Frank and Payton? Portis and payton are free agents.
That's it? or we gonna "Throw in one of the Dallas picks" cuz its so easy?
Of course I do that all day long. Im thinking its not a good return for Warriors. Your going to have to give an up an unprotected pick. I don't let any pick out the door that's not at least a top 3-5 protection.
Maybe I do this year. Russell is a nice piece but you can't trade for potential franchise player, so you have to protect the pick. This year is not so great.
Warriors will be back in win now mode next year. Maybe they want to trade their pick???

Russell's impact is not the highest.

Russell/Payton
Haliburton/Bullock
Barrett/Knox
Morris(resign)/Randle
Gibson/Mitch

Question is: Does GSW go for it...prolly not idk.

Russell just signed a 4 yr deal this yr

That's a very good point and one that is answered when you know where your drafting. It makes sense for both teams to not make that deal until after the season. Im for sure down with the "Simple" 1248 trade idea if there is any shred of that being something available but it seems likely to be light in my amateur estimate.

Russell is signed for 4 years and $117mm.

GS trades him for expiring contracts because they realize that deal is stupid and likely isnt getting better offers in the offseason when EVERY team is going to know they are desperate to trade him with Curry/Klay coming back.

Best bet with DRuss is expiring deals and a guy like Dotson.

Don't know. It's a known secret that Minnesota desperately wants D-Lo. There is definitely going to be a bidding war if we continue pursuit.
