Pascal obviously will be an UFA this offseason but apparently he and Hali have been on the phone and are pumped to play together.

For reference, the Knicks own 2024 picks #17 and #21.

Yet people say our protected picks are worth so little.

goes to show you what a few 1sts can get you. Siakam obviously didnt fit here but we could have easily matched that package and barely touched our picks after this year.

Raptors were not up to maxing out Siakam, probably the same situation with Randle and Knicks, something to look out for.

I can't tell if this is another adult trade or if Raps were just in a spot and that's the best they could have gotten.

Gobert trade and some others have really skewed things for some teams. It's no wonder Atlanta is trying to drum up market for Dejounte.

The MIL '25 pick is also looking better and better... Lillard went to a team where you'd think his efficiency would skyrocket not having to do it all anymore. Instead his scoring is down over 7ppg but he's shooting under 43% and well below league average from 3.

He'll be 34 next season, Middletown 33, Lopez 37...

Not saying that's going to be a lotto pick but it may very well be in the low 20's instead of the high 20's. and if Giannis misses time forget about it.

So you have that '25 1st in a draft where ATL doesn't have picks, and they don't have picks in '27 either. Give them the '25 and the better of ours or DET in '27 and call it a day.

Given the Siakam trade, what's your take on Murray trade value with Knicks? What's your adult trade?

Those 2 picks and Grimes/Fournier?

Yea those 2 picks and Grimes/Evan.

Maybe the WSH pick as well since that might turn into two seconds.

That's a very solid offer. Essentially Grimes + 2-3 firsts.

And the Knicks would STILL keep both their 2024 picks.

yea and I think ATL prefers it that way since they already have two picks in '24 and this is perceived a weaker draft.

we could probably use 1 of the picks and kick another one down the line for future use.

I'd prefer it if they used a pick this year since the roster could use young, cheap talent. But I'm expecting Brock to have the team set with protected picks thru 2036.

Yeah, really weird

Pacers needed IQ for roster balancing. Siakam's impending FA also knocked down the amount of suitors.
