Imma have to give this one a thumbs 👎.
https://empiresportsmedia.com/new-york-knicks/report-knicks-not-desperate-to-trade-evan-fournier/ Russell was Gersson Rosas’s biggest coup during his ill-fated stint as Timberwolves president. Now that Rossas is with the Knicks as a team consultant, will he go after Russell to make up for the foiled Donovan Mitchell trade?  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.

I'm happy with our collection of PGs. It's RJ that needs some upgrade as far as shooting.

I remember how he led the NJ Nets(yeah, I refuse to acknowledge them as a representation of anything NY). But he doesn't really push the pace or get to the rim or play defense. Is he really that big of an upgrade over Fournier? Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.

On record, I would veto any Kuzma trade. Another volume guy. Money stats on a bad team. I don't really see any deeper advanced stats to show true value. Just another usage shooter that isn't that great at it despite a few high scoring games. Doesn't make us better, imo. As a consolidation play, it might make sense as as a backup to Randle. Not really willing to do much more than consolidate unused players though.
https://www.nba.com/stats/players/hustle-leaders The fact that Tari Eason up there is impressive but not unexpected. Feel like we dropped the ball on that guy. Would look at Javonte Green tonight. Can't say I have seen much. Chicago can't really tank since Orlando owns their pick (1-4 protected). Jordan Goodwin, Darius Bazley are also guys I would watch. Their FT% draws the 3pt percentage into question, but they are getting out to the perimeter to contest threes. I wouldnt give up much for these guys, but I think the deflections and contested threes are a good sign of the players we should be looking at. You know I gonna spin wit it

Unless they signed him to another 3yr/$75M deal. I don't think they would, but I'd rather eliminate the temptation altogether. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more.
