Is Randle any part of the deal? If not, I pass.

I'd trade for him as an expiring contract, but not to keep. I think the finals was a fluke- his post all star stretch before the finals was horrific and everyone was joking about how bad he'd been and, let's be honest, he only ended up in the all star game because of that K-pop group's tweet. His FT shooting numbers a re poor, so how does that work with RJ and Mitch if they don't improve their FT's? How does Wiggins fit next to RJ in general? Plus him doing the interview in the offseason to say he regretted having the covid vaccine puts me off too.

Hope this is just BS!

Lonzo has significant knee issues. We dodged a bullet with that guy

Mitchell also has a documented concussion problem. Rose May end looking like Neo from the Matrix

When looking at Wiggins, he goes from a 33% 3 point shooter to a 38 or 39% 3 point shooter simply by moving from MIN to GSW. If you look at his shot charts from each and compare to his career, nothing really stands out as dramatically different. That 5% change is evident in both years in GSW and not on a small sample set. He took a lot of 3s. Over 300 attempts in each season presented here. Nearly 400 in 21-22 at 39%. So, what changes here? I think the simplest answer is that GSW makes players better with their passing and spread floor. Worth noting that Thibs was his coach in Minnesota and Kerr his coach in GSW.

Probably gets more open looks behind these other guys. Doubt he gets as many open looks here. I would expect him to regress a bit on stats. I'm still in favor though, if a deal makes sense, to the extent that he slots in well next to Barrett and Randle.

You caught me by surprise at the end of your post. 95% of your post is pointing out how he will regress once he leaves GS but at the end you are still for getting him even though he will be paid a ton of money and wont live up to his contract with us.

A few years in between coaches given is more than just Thibs to Kerr. He was a kid with Thibs.
Playing with a few HOFers really does matter.
One does not pay for the past performance. its about what can he do here in the future.

I didn't post everything because I could make the point with only a couple shot charts. Exclude the 12 games Wiggins had with GSW to end the 19-20 season and his 3pt percentage just jumps 50 bps for the last 2 seasons with GSW. I think its more about open looks and the attention Curry draws than anything else. But, maybe they fixed something in his shot.

I don't know that he puts us over the top, any more than the upside potential of RJ, Mitch, Randle, Grimes, IQ or Grimes.

I don’t think he does. He is a nice piece, but isn’t a star. The knicks may be able to replicate his level of production by trading for someone else who would be cheaper.

I just don’t see this trade unless the Knicks thought the cost to get him would be minimal. Getting a wing upgrade for Fournier would be ideal but the cost shouldn’t be exorbitant.

Maybe if the Knicks can get him cheap. With the way their cap is grabbing a player from a team looking to cut salary Longterm might be the move.

I will keep saying I don’t think the Knicks move Randle unless they get great value for him. However if the Warriors were open to trading him for Derrick Rose, Fournier, and minimal draft asset (aka other teams picks) I could see the Knicks doing it.

They should be looking for a cost effective Fournier upgrade that gives them a players bird rights. This summer is IQ/Obi’s extension and Reddish RFA summer. It would be nice to have another piece they can sign long term pre New TV deal to make the deal better long term.
