They need a defensive anchor. Kemba, Fournier, Barrett and Randle will likely be the 1-4 for the foreseeable future and you live and die with the offense/defense trade-off. If you can’t control the paint than you waste these big Kemba games. Turner can control the paint and then on offense be a perimeter threat and let Randle have the space to operate downlow where he doesn’t have to worry about turning into a double team every time. Our centers are liabilities on offense and don’t bring it consistently enough on defense. I’m happy to bring back Mitch as a backup where he can be a great lob threat and run with the young guys. Turner makes way too much sense on both ends with the way this team is currently structured. Offer Obi, Noel and picks. Whatever gets you there within reason. He’s only 25 so the long term fit is there too. We aren’t talking about just a quick fix. There is rarely a player so perfect and gettable for this team as Turner is now.

We need Randle to play like 2020 Randle. Or we’re going no where.

What has Turner ever did for Indiana? He's a loser.

Turner is not Mutombo. Nobody can anchor a lineup featuring Randle, Kemba and Fournier. We are taking about 3 of the absolute worst defensive players in the league.

It won’t cost IQ or RJ. Indiana knows it’s not realistic.

Knicks need 2 way players. Offense alone don’t cut it. We replaced 2 way players for 1 way players

Oh yeah? Well what if they score like 40+ points?

That’s formidable.

Bullock and Payton are not 2-way players. Payton is a no way player.

Sure….keep believing that. Just look at the record and defensive efficiency. Stats cut through this extra talk

Maybe this team was just better when they didn’t have to worry about a crowd or opponents circling MSG on their calendars? I was a huge Bullock fan but just look at Payton and Bullock right now. They aren’t the difference makers here. I thought that was sort of the consensus.

“The key culprit in the Knicks' undoing has been their rapid decline on defense after Tom Thibodeau's side surprised many on that end last season.

Buoyed by a top-four defense but sunk by a lackluster offense that dried up in the playoffs, the Knicks essentially sacrificed guards Reggie Bullock and Elfrid Payton for the more offensively capable Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier in the offseason.”

It’s so obvious it’s too funny to argue. So I’ll just reply with clippings from a recent article on why the collapse this year.

We all realize the backcourt is not as good defensively, not even close. Which is why I will go back to the original topic, get Myles Turner to anchor your defense and you can at least fix some of the defensive concerns to some extent.

Randle and EF couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn from 3 point range yesterday. That killed our spacing, Washington Bullets were able to stay comfortably in the zone the entire game

Make 3’s and passing lanes will start to open up

Google Myles Turner trades and there’s a million of them. Most involve a young player of less value than them and a future first. Essentially Obi and a first seems to be about the consensus going value. Also don’t forget he only has 1 year remaining on his contract which lowers his value.

The pacers aren’t trading Turner for similar value. they got back Sabonis and Oladipo for PG3

Knicks are the 10th worst team in the league. They should be trading their vets for picks.
