Giving up picks to upgrade your franchise, weather F/O or Players, should never be considered a bad thing..
In Bargiani trade we gave up a 1st round pick to the raptors, that turned out to be the 9th pick Jakob Pöltl, after him, there isn't a single game changer in the rest of the draft.
Now im not saying it was a good trade, but the draft pick had more value when it was unknown. Jakob ended up getting thrown in the Kawhi deal a yr later as a cap filler..
Imagine if we would have traded the 8th pick (frank) prior to the draft, it would have had way more value then what we ended up getting.
If i can use my draft pick to get a player or someone I know is good as oppose to drafting someone i have no idea if he will ever be good..I'm going with the know vs the IDK
Your under the assumption that a player of know talent can one season to the next replicate (barring injury) a similar expectation the next. Depending on age how long after. Trading for players is one thing. Making the assumption for FO is another story. If you have figured it out this talent does not always carry over. Look at all the names that have come here and the variables that did not match there past could not assimilate to the future. Its common sense. Got any?
well I don't think we are going to do anything anyway.
I tell you what though, i'll bet any amount of money that the the next F/O will not be building through the draft like Phil and Mills have been doing for the past 6 yrs with horrible results.
So your saying they will build with good results, or make some trades along the way.
Maybe that was the plan. YOu cant keep everyone and we had little to trade over the last few years.
Your brilliance and foresight is a gift.
Logic that we fired the Pres, GM contract is tied to him, knicks are in a holding pattern regarding making a big move. Expectations for MOrris are field by fans desire, not reality. Logic stands to reason that much won’t get done. I think we trade Morris based on logic that we want big cap to have season after next, not tie up his salary. I’d offer him 25mm for one season based on his production. That was JJ Reddik money when he took a big one year deal, then about half subsequently with sizers.
He might be a 20pt per game player but he is a free agent and he is hanging those numbers on a **** team. He is a low 1st round pick in return. Let’s not get ahead.
Anything we get in return is a gift.
So if we get a bottom feed 1st rounder and do what with him, we are boarder line embarrassing when it comes to developing. Thats why most young players are on the trading block.
This vicious cycle has got to stop... trade willy for trash, trade kp for trash, trade melo for trash, waive Kanter, waive what ever vet you traded for so they can go to a contender, or let them finish the season and lose them for nothing (rose, DeAndre Jordan).
Hopefully that's in the past
