Would think the $12M MLE would be the convincing factor and Brunson/Hart wouldn’t hurt.

Another guy I like is Grant Williams.

Knicks in theory could move Obi for a wing shooter - ex Duarte type and sign G Williams as back-up 4/5 and a guy we can go to defensively when Julius is on skid row.

There are Malik Monk types every year.

Something interesting comparing Thibs and Spo.

Robinson was awful all season long never played. Similar to Fournier. Robinson actually hasn’t been that great in the playoffs either but Spo played him for spacing while Thibs wouldn’t even look fourniers way and played lineups where zone shut down the team because of a lack of spacing.

Obi is going to be traded for a shooter. I think it’s likely going to be for Hield. Maybe Rose, Obi and a second.

Good example of how Thibs was out coached.

Could see him come to us and basically be relegated to stand / watch offense that won’t help him.

No idea what Knicks plans are but DiVincenzo would seem to be on our list with the $12M MLE.

- can play point/sg and sf in pinch
- can start and come off bench and very competitive
- Nova, Brunson, Hart connection
- defends - good athlete who has played for 2 good teams and fit in
- good athlete who can handle/shoot 3 pretty well — we do need more guys who can put the ball on the floor and make good decisions

Say Knicks want to run it back with Dante the only move this summer and we start IQ.

Below gives us 2 ball handlers in starting and bench rotations…Brunson/IQ and Dante/J-Hart

Brunson, IQ, RJ, Randle, Mitch
Dante, Grimes, Hart, Obi, Hart

Without Butler drawing double teams and a bunch of other 3 point snipers I don’t know if Struss gets all those wide open looks

We can sign burks and/or watanabe this offseason to cheap 1-2 year deals with a team option

Not thrilled about running back Burke’s again.

Unless I’m wrong outside of vet min contracts we only have the lower level room exception starting around $4M and the mid starting at $12M. Burke’s is too good for the $4M and I hope we don’t give him the $12M.

Wantanabe might get the $4M type offer.

Burks on a 1 year $12 mil deal is reasonable
