I've warmed to the idea of Tyler Bey in the late first (he's been suggested here plenty.) He's a better shooter than i realized and obviously a very good defender. I think bring Crowder for a year and having Bey (and Knox) play behind him for a year would to wonders for their development and Bey could become the stretch 4 of the future for us. Knox could as well, but he may end up being more of a 6th man type. Randle moves to 6th man for the season and plays minutes between the 4 and 5. Bringing in Bey at 27 and targeting an elite shooting wing and PG with 8 and 38 would be a step in the right direction.

Taller, much better defender and can be cheaper.

Yeah, Jae is really too inconsistent to count on. Nice if your roster is deep enough to weather is cold streaks, brutal if you're the Knicks and have to rely on him as a consistent outside threat. We mind as well just keep Harkless.

I think Crowder is a better defender and better shooter than Harkless. I'm not opposed to retaining Harkless, i just don't think he provides enough offense or 3pt shooting. A lineup of VanVleet, Barrett, Vassell, Crowder, and Robinson with a bench rotation of Randle (PF/C), Knox (SF/PF) Bullock (SG), Ntilikina (PG/SG) is a much improved defensive team and 3pt shooting team. VanVleet, Crowder, and Vassell all compliment RJ and Mitch well to help them grow. Crowder would just be a defensive presence and spot up shooter. The offense would run through Barrett and VanVleet.

I wouldn't rule it out. And for those suggesting retaining Harkless, it can't be ruled out either because he seems like a thibs guy too. But he needs to play PF if he's here. He's not a SF.

No stop gaps unless 2# 1 picks are attached

He has a great perception to his game, but once you see it for a long time, you see he is worse than advertised.

Fair enough.

They will ask for the moon for him as they will blame boylen for the bad season of lauri, not unless the new coach wants to move a new direction or they draft another frontcourt player

agreed. but how about trying to buy low on jonathon issac from orlando, sit him out for a year as he is injured and next year he and mitch might be good together.

I really don't think we can afford another guy who can't shoot, especially one with so many injuries.

been reading about his three point shot developing and his defense etc. i guess we throw the bag at ingraham , i dunno.
