Will the FO pivot or is this the team that will fight next season? I wish they find a way to unload Randle and Fournier. I will be pissed if Fournier will see major minutes and be a started relagating Grimes to the bench. They wouldn't let go of grimes in a trade but wont let him have a major role? I hope there are still some minor moves to come. What could that be?

Lakers get: Fourier, Randle, Rose, Cam.
Knicks get: Westbrook, Nunn, pick?

Lakers have no internet in Randle. I think baest landing spot for Randle is the Hornets for Oubre, Plumlee and maybe PJ Washington?

If they can somehow send Fournier and Cam to the Lakers, that may be ok. But what will you get from the lakers? Nunn will complicate the rotation once more

Westbrook isn't the player he was and never was that good from 3 or on d. Let him end his career somewhere else.

We need to stop with the melo trade narrative. The Knicks gave up hardly anything. A 1st round pick, a pick swap and a couple of players who didn’t amount to much. It was everything that followed that was the issue. That deal was a steal compared to todays price of a star. But that being said the Knicks have a lot of pressure now to deliver with their young guys. This was a major miss regardless of price because it was there for the taking. Now the Knicks must prove they held onto these guys for a reason.

Yoots not that good but we win the last two games that moves us out of the lottery.
The rookies that play well for two games are then considered future stars and untradable.
After ****ing up the tank we get the 12th pick.
Briggs posts a million "my can't miss pick" threads.
We draft another unproven kid that nobody wanted.
NY media claims every high level FA is coming.
NY fans say they all suck and are overpriced.
No big name comes here and we overpay for average players.
Knicks fans overhype their unproven players.

Knicks groundhog day.

I miss Frankie

No one wants Randle

The narrative around the Melo trade is so ignorant. We gave up an ok wing player in Gallo, picks and two scrubs Mozgov and Wilson Chandler

And it all worked out so great in the aftermath?
DOn’t forget the pick that became Murray. But don’t let details ever get in the way for painting others ignorant when your doing just fine on your own.
Clean made a good point that you have to look at the moment. Like Melo had an opt out, was wallking into a strike summer and needed minor knee surgery. He had a sense of urgency and leverage. He could have walked for nothing.
He also stated he wanted new york. PhilC, why not try to digest that instead of repeating the same stupid ****.
Previous Regime? Phil Jax had just two of 4 picks to work with.

Naturally had we just drafted DM all this would be different. But it don’t work that way.

He wouldn’t get the Knicks over the bar as a contender, but he would be a upgrade over Fournier defensively. The Knicks wings would be RJ, Kuzma, Grimes, and Reddish… Four good to very good defenders to throw at everybody.

I don’t think the wizards would be open to it now. They re-signed Beal and will at least make an attempt to be good this year. However if they struggle I could see them going tank mode and cutting Kuzma quick.
