I know there is some acrimony between both organizations that began during the Steve Mills era but doubt it should have any major impact in negotiations. I think Fournier, $5M cash and some 2nd round picks should get the deal done.

He only has one gauranteed year left and they could use his services both on and off the court, now that they've got Victor Wembenyama. They are both Frenchmen and I think Fournier has the right personality to be a good mentor and ease Victor's transition into American culture having lived here for more than a decade. On the court, I think he can play a very similar role to the one Doug McDermott excelled at as a guy still capable of hitting 40% from deep. Fournier also has the added wrinkle of being a capable playmaker, particularly in a secondary pick-and-roll, which the Spurs lack at the moment.

I don't think we really need to dump him. They have a ton of cap space and need for vets. Im thinking EF is cap fodder as part of a big deal but perhaps he gets rerouted? In fact they can send us a second round pick!

There it is!
Embiid can ask to NY, only leverage he’d have is waive his trade kicker if he has one.
Otherwise Morey and Philly ownership might have a say to where he goes.
He’d go to highest bidder and I’d think Utah, Por and OKC might have a package for Sixers too!

I don't think Mitchell has butter fingers at all. His first few years his hands were great. I think the issue is that they never ever throw it to him anymore even for lobs so he's caught by surprise.

Come on Chandler - you can’t seriously believe Mitch has good hands.

He literally fumbles 50% of the balls thrown to him - add in fact he can’t score outside 1” or do anything outside of hand the ball,off on the perimeter and you have a legit NON option on offense.

For me, I think Mitch has OK hands for a center. His lack of awareness of anticipating *getting* the ball is very low and contributes to the hands thing IMO

So you trade everyone and everything except Brunson for Emblid or whomever - does a team of Brunson, Emblid or whomever plus I don’t know - McBride,I hart, and a bunch of 10 day contracts get us further? Just seems ridiculous to me. And tell me what assets we get to keep in such a trade without daydreaming.

Right. That's why I think the Knicks will most likely make trades around the edges for the next year or so unless something utterly wild happens and becomes available

Knicks just had a huge internal development year that turned out well (especially and obviously with the addition of Brunson). Wouldn't be surprised of more of the same.

No need to go back to the quick fix philosophy which destroyed us for decades.
