Man I hope the Knicks don’t do think trade.

Feels like there's a countdown until Mitchell goes from 3x All Star to Disgruntled 3x All Star.
Drag out the trade talks and be willing to walk away. Utah's only going to lose leverage - a quick deal doesn't do us any good. |

I'm still iffy on the trade, but I will say that Leon's regime has never gone over their perceived set value on the FA or trade market. I'm confident that Brock Aller won't get Timberwolved. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Up until now Rose has always had his price and while he's slightly offered beyond it, he still has a bottom line even if it means losing out (eg Gordon Hayward)- that's what I'm clinging to. But, he's never been tested like this- not only the prospect of getting a star but also one he has so many personal connections to, plus all the pressure from the media and Dolan and fans. Of course Ainge may just be playing his usual games, or another team may swoop in. Who knows- I am preparing for/ talking myself into all possible outcomes! |

Spida's value will drop after the Jazz miss the playoffs next season and then he will have 2 yrs left on his deal(as he will surely exercise his player option). They will want to move him before he has 1 yr left and he can scare teams off of moving anything significant as a 1 yr rental. Rose should stick to the offer he is comfortable with and just allow Ainge leverage to gradually decline. Purse OG from Toronto, keep winning, create more leverage. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Im hoping that signing Brunson, will be enough to fight the temptation for an overpay. If the Knicks had gone through free agency, empty handed. There might be more of a temptation to sign Mitchell.
The FO can walk away knowing that they made a significant move at PG this summer. No need to chase another FA to the point of giving away the store. Edit: Mitchell isnt an FA yet, but same point |

i'm not sold on the trade but waiting until the trade deadline has its costs and risks too, e.g., what if we come out slow? there will be all the more pressure to move and Ainge will know it, and then if we do move midseason trades are risky -- it takes time for the new group to acclimate of course the flip side is if the guys come out rolling we may question how much Donovan adds (5)(7)

This thread is on pace to dwarf the Tony Wroten thread.

Mitchell is really good. He's not generational. He's Booker. Legit all star. You know what tho, Curry is their PG and Finals MVP. We have Brunson. Similar defense. However GS has Clay Thompson with the automatic 3 and super D to cover for Curry. We have Grimes who could be pretty much all that in a couple of years. Something Mitchell will never become. Just need to develop the youth. Grimes and Brunson are perfect together, just add water. Mitchell and Brunson not so much Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair
