I like this trade. Was surprised that Obi wasnt involved. Makes me wonder how Thibs is planning to use Hart.

This wasnt a swing for the fences, when the team doesnt need one. We'll see how the young players finish the season. Thats going to play a role in the FO's next move.

I'm not sure why we even needed to create another thread. lol

It will be interesting to see the new rotation.

Looks like the FO really hates the idea of adding rookies to the roster.
And fixated on getting into the playoffs this season by any means necessary, future be damned.
Might as well kill the double-draft thread now.

Knicks still positive 3 picks. Not sure how much of the Knox pick you can put on the current office. I think they see a window as long as they don't meet Milwaukee in the playoffs.

We will have the Dallas pick and Rokas likely incoming.

We're getting a player who is currently averaging 33 mpg and where exactly is he going to play? One of the best parts of this season were the young guys like Grimes and Deuce being a part of it. Deuce especially was starting to come around and started hitting shots and now he's going to be buried. And for what?

Dumb trade imho.

Actually - as I think about - no more Evan Fournier sightings.

No more Derek Rose.

RJ probably is going to lose minutes.

And McBride - but as much of a fan as I am of McBride and the energy he brings, Josh Hart has to be a positive upgrade.

Is this a franchise altering, championship move? No.

But we probably have enough picks this off season - Dallas and Washington might yet make the play offs.

And I think it moves the needle in that some of these close games that turned to collapses we'd have one if we had a guy that Thibs could rely on.

If you're worrying about someone's long term role and future with the team from acquiring Hart, I think it's RJ.

Knicks are 7th... Wizards are 1/2 game out of the last play in. Imagine a scenario where the Wizards knocked us out of the playoffs/play in resulting in their pick conveying and Knicks keeping theirs as its a lottery pick (which we of course win and draft Wemby)
