I gave a post about valuation on picks a ways back and I think you can discount the Detroit, Wash and Dallas picks based on their protections and likelihood to convey. Yes he only has one full year left after this on his contract, but his advanced stats are off the charts. Effort, efficiency, defense, low usage. I mean, he is a prototype of what this team needs. I don't think we need all the picks we have. I'd make that move for OG all day. You know I gonna spin wit it

Unless it is us 🤬Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: It was 100% us that offered the 3 protected 1sts we have and the Craptors said no (and that was the end of that)- from one of the podcasts and also backed up by the discords (won't specify anymore as the original person who revealed this a few days before the news came out did a bad job of concealing it and weren't meant to reveal it). Personally (and this isn't based on any intel) I think we'll revisit this before the deadline- wouldn't be surprised if we offer maybe one of our younger players or maybe one of our own picks. Think Raptors will still ultimately say no to what we offer. Wouldn't be surprised if a team like the Pelicans end up doing a deal for him (can offer picks and young players) |

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.

Would rather use that value, which seems enough to get OG, for moving up in the draft and picking someone that is highly rated, may provide the same and will offer much higher cap flexibility. Just do not see OG as a game changer. 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020

How Good is OG? He is basically what everyone wants Grimes to become. He is a developed (25 year old) Grimes (22).

They have no less than 4-5 guys who are gunning for their next contract over the next 2 years - Trent, FVV this coming summer and Siakam, OG next (not to mention Achiuwa, Flynn too) and you have Barnes who was the next big thing who wasn't traded for Durant needing and wanting the ball too. That whole starting lineup wants the ball MORE to show for their next contract. It's a recipe for disaster and they are managing their way thru it. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

I'm assuming Masai saw how Dallas handled Brunson and will act accordingly.
And the same for the Knicks Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

Unless it is us 🤬Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: We can argue over value a little bit, but the fact is that we got 3 protected picks for the 11 pick. This didn't include the Dallas pick, but the Dallas pick is arguably worse than anything included in the trade. So, yes, its possible that someone in the lottery will accept the same offer from us of three picks for 1 pick but I think the ease of moving up with late lotto picks was proven difficult when we had the 19 and 21. I'm not throwing them away, but Toronto turned down the 7 pick overall for OG Anonunby from Portland. OG has real value. He will be in the top 5 for DPOY. His low usage, eFG and length make him perfect for this team. He is everything I wanted Cam to be. If you could promise me any of those picks would become OG, I would hesitate, but in my grand scheme, I'm adding length, defense and eFG and hustel stats. He leads the league in steals despite missing time. I don't think people understand OG. I would give up all three picks all day every day and still doubt Toronto says yes. I would assume we fleeced them. You know I gonna spin wit it
