Just looking to the general temperature. Do you think Phil will make a trade before the trade deadline in three-four weeks?

Bonus question - what would the move be?

Yes, the Knicks will make a trade.
No, they'll stand pat and wait for the summer.

These guys have a lifestyle that they have to be able to afford and the younger ones are looking to improve their lifestyles and have enough money in the bank to pay for their lifestyles after their playing days are over. D.Williams and L.Thomas are playing their ways into much bigger contracts than they're on now. You don't think teams would love to have A DW that has crazy athleticism and brings what he brings with his driving to the basket and getting to the foul line and his rebounding has picked up lately as well?? How about L.Thomas who can guard pretty much every position and guards the best player on the other team and has improved with his offense with his shot and driving to the basket and both guys can hit free throws?? Both of them are gonna get a lot of interest from multiple teams and will be offered bigger contracts from multiple teams. If Phil's plan is to sign a max player in the off season then unless he finds a way to get rid of Calderon's contract he won't be able to sign these two along with a max player. I love lance and have been his biggest supporter since we got him last year and if i had to choose one of those two it's easily Lance for me but even though we all love what we're getting from guys like LT, DW, Gallo, AA Phil must listen to offers for all of them just to see what the offers are. I wish we could keep all of them and add a significant player in the off season but it's just not possible.

dwills contract is player option next year... he is not a passing player right now and unless he shows significant improvement on that front...he's showing iso melo tendencies in a faster body. if he doesn't come back at the same price... let him walk

lance thomas...keep him keep him keep him. To me, he could end up being more value than any other player on our roster (minus rooks) at the price.


gallo...yes he can be clutch on offense in the 4th, but he STILL defers to melo and kp and affalo in the 4th instead of looking for his shot. (that plus fisher never calls any plays for him obviously). we have a team option on him next year so he's still cheap.

coming to the trade question thread title... schroeder is unhappy about coming off the bench. give them calderon who won't mind coming off the bench for atlanta. this gives them a PG who can create for their bench and make them appear better than they are.

to make salaries match...we also get sefolosha with 2 years @ 4 mill left on the contract (half of calderon's) and give them cleanthony and/or gallo.

they get a disgruntled pg out of their locker room (schroeder). we get a contract thats much more tradable (sefolosha), and we get schroeder at super cheap for at least 2 years in the role he wants.


Yes i know DW has an opt out and he's going to use it. Why just let a player with his talents walk away if you can get a draft pick or picks or a young player for him instead of letting him walk for nothing??

I want Lance to be a Knick for his entire playing career if it were up to me but he's gonna get some really good offers from other teams in the off season so i hope Phil finds a way to keep him without hurting our chances at adding a significant player in the off season.

Gallo i'm meh on but i really hope we keep him cause he does bring some good things off the bench and the kid can hit some clutch shots at big times.

You say Schroeder is unhappy with coming off the bench and you come up with a trade offer for him that Atlanta would laugh at cause the kid can play and when they trade Teague Schroeder won't be unhappy any more right? This is probably the reason why they're trying to trade Teague so Schroeder won't be unhappy.

i guess the biggest question for them is do they keep a disgruntled player in the locker room or help him find a better home to keep chemistry intact? teague is happy and it will be difficult to find suitors for him at his salary.

I see Atlanta Hawks games bro and Teague is a sulkier. Last season when Schroder got minutes over him down the stretch, you could usually find him with a towel over his head and in a pouting mood. Yes, Schroder has made his intentions clear that he wants to be a starting PG but it hasn't interfered with his play or approach to the game. And now, it is becoming progressively clear that Schroder is the better player (when you consider contract, potential and present play). As this article articles, Teague's play, on the other hand, is stagnating:

http://hoopshabit.com/2016/01/21/atlanta-hawks-jeff-teague-has-regressed-to-ordinary/

Needless to say, I think it is far more likely that the Hawks jettison Teague than Schroder. Rumors had it that he was not a favorite of Danny Ferry and only stuck around because they couldn't find an amicable trade. As much as Ferry is no longer there, I'd have to think that much of his staff is, so I wouldn't be surprised if they felt similarly.

I like Asik and think he'd be a better backup big than KOQ or Seraphin and Cole can play defense and get to the basket but why would the pelicans make that trade??

I threw up a little in my mouth. Asik is tempermental and locked into a long-term despite being unable to catch an entry pass. I'd let the Pelicans live that mistake down. I would gamble on Holiday and/or Gordon though.

They need a vet like Calderon to help young Davis

And if we can get them to give us a second pick, it will be even sweeter

How would Calderon help A.Davis?? He's already a beast and is beyond needing help especially from a point guard. This one confuses me.

he can teach him how to slow down and not get injured. Like to not take it to the hoop?

Thumpo is shooting 21.3% from 3 and 50.2% from the field and 67% from the FT line. 50.2 from the field isn't that bad but obviously needs to improve from 3 and FT line.
