Haha wow...and we said yes to that? Good God.

An unprotected and top 10 protected pick, DSjr, and a ton of cap space is a nice outcome. Can’t recall two firsts being moved recently for any player. Butler, Kawhi, Kyrie. Has there been a trade where a team got that much draft equity?

very rarely do you get two unprotected first round picks even for better players who arent injured. Look obviously you think we got **** back but being fair getting back two first(one unprotected and one only top 10 protected) for a player who has had one all star year and has injury issues isnt bad

It is bad, for a franchise player type of talent. One pick that you know for sure won't be top 10 and the other that's in this Doncic window or could be delayed even more if the Mavs get a top 5 pick this year 100% is ****ty value. That and an underwhelming 2nd year player. Let's look at it for what it really is...a salary dump. To get rid of contracts that Mills himself was stupid enough to give out.

If the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist...Mills pulling credit for getting rid of the trash he compiled is a super close 2nd.

Its 2 picks,DSjr and CAP SAPCE for a max FA. Include that player when you evaluate the deal.

You don't know that we're getting a max FA. But I don't see how that changes the value part of this specific deal. It didn't mean we needed to deal a franchise type talent for a small assortment of mediocre at best assets. We literally didn't get one top shelf asset for Porzingis, which was probably almost impossible to do. Somehow, the did.

Honestly dude what the **** did you expect to get? 3 unprotected firsts and a top young player lol. I liked KP but he only haf one real good season before suffering a major injury. We got realistic value

Something half decent. At least something towards next year or yeah, at least a couple of unprotected picks. If we don't get a max FA, getting nothing for next year stings hard because we'll have that much less to build on.

Be honest...if you even wanted a KP trade, were you sitting there last night or today saying, "man, I hope if we deal KP it's for a dime a dozen underwhelming 2nd year guard, an unprotected 1st in 2021 at the earliest but possibly delayed for a team that has a really bright young star and most likely KP to partner with, a protected pick in 2023 but also possibly delayed and if KP doesn't stay and Doncic leaves could actually turn into a 2nd, and cap space. That would really move my needle!"

I never thought he would be traded so I have to process it on its own merit. I think the Knicks got more draft equity for KP then any other team trading a star recently. I think DSjr is going to be really good at the point for a long time. I am so glad that I don’t have to watch Tim and Trey play poorly anymore. Getting that much cap space with this free agent class coming up and the rumors about KD and Kyrie could be a huge deal or just turn into a ton of flexibility to make more moves. Also, I don’t want anyone on the Knicks that doesn’t want to be there. KP has reportedly told the mags he is only signing the qualifying offer next summer. Don’t want that guy on the team I root for. This was a boss move. The Knicks played this one right.

You are absolutely right. DSjr is that lead guard for us that we havent had since hmmm... i want to say Marbury. We lucked into him. Dallas only gave up on him because of Doncic. DSjr changes our backcourt in a drastic way. Him and Trier, him and Frank, him and Dotson, him and Mudiay now thats some flexibility. KP is good but flawed and we got great value back

We have 3 starters from a team with a 23-27 record, and if Jordan and Matthews are expiring, or looking to get traded to a playoff team at the deadline (Can they be traded again?), so they will play hard, and diminish our chance to get into the top 3. You lose them after this year, which helps our cap, but I don't see why free agents are going to see the Knicks as an attractive landing point, other than the fact we have the cap space.

I don't see Fizdale as a "franchise" coaching talent right now, and he has not shown he's special enough to attract FAs. I expect to see a lot of 1/1 ISO ball the rest of the year, with Jordan getting a lot of pick and roll opportunities.

If the basketball Gods smile on us, the first pick is amazing. If Dallas finishes inside the top ten - that's our pick. If not we have a second chance at a top ten pick the next time around - that like getting three chances at two high picks.

Sign that trade paper before Dallas blinks.

I don't think you get how this works...

The only way Dallas gets its own pick in 2019 is to have lady luck give them 1-5. Otherwise, 6-30 goes to Atlanta. Dallas traded 1-5 to us if that happens otherwise we do it all over next time (unprotected).

Huh? I don't think that's right.

If Dallas gets 1-5 this year, it doesn't convey to the Knicks. And if Dallas DOES get that pick in the 1-5 range, that means the 2020 pick goes to Atlanta and we can't get a Dallas pick until 2020.
