Saves us 26m in salary we would have given to a high profile pg and draft picks.

Use that money to extend some guy who perform well in the playoffs

Maybe if we throw in 25% of the board and the rights Al Trautwig.

My trade and offer is legitimate

2 first this year
1 Early second this year
1 late second this year

1st 2022

Kevin Knox

To move up 10 spots

Not saying this is the move it’s just A move

Matter of fact just insert whatever player you think can help us battle in the the playoffs from pick 8-12

My trade offer is legitimate too. I think Al Trautwig can help a team more than Kevin Knox, unless their assembling player for Fortnite.

Anyone answering like this Is say you haven’t watched the Suns. Not only is he 1/3 of the price of lonzo ball— he’s actually better.

Briggs, you know that I have a lot of love in my heart for you and no one here loves this team and wants it to win more than you do, but a practical cap sheet will only have about 2 middle class contracts, you've listed five of them. Because of RJ Barrett still on his rookie deal and MRob still on a value contract and Randle trapped in that team option, the Knicks actually have some options with their raw cap space, but it's usually better to rent out the space in a trade in this situation.

Noel and Burks have incentive to be signed to two year deals because that still makes them tradeable. One year deals wouldn't do that and give them veto rights.

If the Knicks renounce Frank N, he's gone. His agent will push him to a new team for a fresh start, but also to reset his Bird Rights clock on a team where that might mean something at some point.

Rose decided to just not show up for a game in the past during his first Knicks stint. Some here will cite some excuse or another. Reality is he did it and thus does not deserve more than a one year "Prove It" deal. And that's forever. If he wants to be Knick, he should sign one year Prove It deals forever. That's the price of not showing up. You do **** like that and it means you cannot be trusted ever again.

Gibson will come back on the Veteran's Minimum Exception. It's just more flexible. If Gibson gets hurt, the Knicks can give him an injury settlement and replace him on the roster quickly. More than the vet's minimum and the Knicks then actually have to make cap sheet moves to get him off the roster if they need someone else. Gibson is a situation where he will take the minimum and if there's more to be earned, it will be cash under the table.

Bullock is interesting as he's the candidate on that list most likely to get a MCC. I wouldn't give him more than a 1 plus 1, i.e. the 2nd year as a team option.

Knicks are in a funny spot given the quality of the FA class.

Its one thing to add a Leonard or Harden or center of gravity star of that quality and impact. But I'd question whether one of Lonzo Ball Or Dennis Schroder (for example) would be more valuable than a Bullock-Burke or Rose-Bullock combo.

We absolutely need a pg if for anything just to finally get Elf out of this rotation

Absolutely. Knicks might have even already signed one.

But I believe there is a whole range of options to either PG 1 or PG 1a or 1b (with Rose) ranging from Conley and Lowry to Schroder and Ball to Payne and McConnell to trade options like Rozier.

Sign Payne 3 yrs 27 mm
Offer our 20 draft pick and the choice of Knox for max Reid
Offer Mitch and out other pick to move up for boughknight
Lastly hope Jeremiah Robin

Obviously it takes two to tango but this is where I’d go

2 younger vets at 5 and 1 with two good rookies

Question, why doesn't the team who is trading a lower pick for Robinson not just try to trade for Reid if he's available and superior?

Beauty in eye of beholder

Minnesota— towns is there C and it’s not changing. So Reid could possible become available in a good draft for a 1 pick with a sweetener of Knox

I think to get boughknight it will take enough juice to use our 18 pick plus Robinson to move up to 12-14.

I’m pretty big on Jeremiah Robinson for the Knicks. I’d love for him to fall to 32 but I’m also willing to take him in the 20s if we keep the picks.

So my off-season best case scenario sans a Leonard wanting to come here
Would be
Payne 6-3 pg
Reid 6-9 c
Robinson 6-9 F
Boughknight 6-5 G
With most of our core guys back
