No, because this stuff should have been done yesterday. We are the armchair experts after all. You can always count on us to come through

Haha. I think some of these posts were created yesterday too!

Fingers crossed we can nab Dallas's pick.

Mikal Bridges maybe should be top target.

Try to find our Butler- our older vet with something left in the tank that can help during the season and then the playoffs when things slow and the mind struggles with the weight of the moment.

First, decline Rose's option to save money. If he's amenable, sign him to a very minimum contract to keep the locker room strong and throw the fans a bone during blowouts.

Second, resign Hart to a reasonable deal. Hopefully he agrees to a team friendly contract to stay next to his idol Jalen Brunson.

Third, try to extend Obi and IQ. Those two might want to test RFA next season and land bigger contracts with more prominent roles. Maybe negotiate 4 year deals with the last year as a player option. Both of them are one catastrophic injury away from a "could of, should of" life. Hopefully they remember Nerlens Noel's story.

Doing those 3 (or 4) moves guarantees franchise stability over the next few.seasons.

Asset wise the Knicks have Fournier's contract to pair with the MLE and draft picks I'm not 100% sold on Jericho Sims as the 3rd string center and have no idea what Keels and Roby have to offer going forward. Knicks have been solid using the summer league to develop young guys, so maybe those 3 guys get featured and the organization can have a better idea of what they have.

I'm kinda iffy of packaging Fournier with draft picks for an upgrade. It seems like most teams that make all in deals (Phoenix Atlanta Minnesota) later end up regretting it. I don't think LaVine gets moved but maybe Beal or Lillard hit the market because their teams are sorely in need of a reset. KAT is interesting as well. A lot of the effort complaints about him mirror those of Wiggins who became the second best guy on a championship squad. Maybe KAT follows the same path. It just seems like on a risk/ reward basis get contracts + draft picks + prospects deals often fall apart before the first pick converts. I don't see Fournier having much trade value, maybe whoever nabs Wembanyama would trade a couple of future second round picks and a trade exemption to have a veteran French presence.

So in brief, run it back again. The team still has plenty of room for internal improvement. If RJ IQ Grimes and Obi can continue their improvement, Knicks should be in line for a top 4 record in the East next season.

“No, I want those players who toyed with my tender emotions gone I say, gone and off with them!
Good riddance and only wish ill upon them as their success would prove me incorrect!!!!
Its all about the fan and being right!!! I have so little say in life or control, but to make a prediction and it be true, well then I will be respected and celebrated with my online friends! Indeed, I do have control of my life then! Blame others and not own some truths. Knicks are never beaten, they only lose due to some players being inept. I want them traded for better ones who shall offer me hope before any reality starts again!”

Sincerely yours
Knicks fan
