Isn’t he injured in some fundamental, concerning way?

I’m focused more on charlotte. They got that center last year w the long name starts with K, and I think they like him. But also have Diabate who I’d like to snag

Diabate should be #1 target. Hornets probably view Knicks as desperate though and will look to drive up the price. Lively could possibly be used as leverage.

Would you trade Deuce for him? I think thats the question.

He turned down 21mm per, right?

He opted into an 8 million player option. I'm sure most of these guys know what offers are out there before making those choices. Biggest problem I see is that he doesn't seem to have a motor.

Ayton was probably my biggest mistake in prediction. When the Suns played the Bucks I thought he was pretty clearly the best player in Phoenix. Suns actually had a positive point differentiatial during his Finals minutes, he just didn't have the stamina to play as much as Giannis. Since then it's been all downhill.

I mean heck, I really like Ben Simmons too. It would be interesting to see how those guys would perform on the Knicks now that we have one of, if not the, strongest organizations in the league.
