Also, Andre has almost $ 29 million this season, and we don’t have that much space on the cap and someone has to go in the opposite direction as well. Who would that be?

If we’re already chasing the playoffs at all costs, the biggest needs of this team are passing PG and shooting, and we brought Rose in and now trying to bring in Drummond. It doesn't seem very logical to me.

It would give us offensive force at teh basket and many second chance opportunities with his rebounding. Also he ha all star type attributes. Hes no perfect player but if we want a pop in the arm and stabilization for the rest of the year--I think he would give it. This is a cash deal No assets accept younger players who have no future here

except that it doesnt. Drummond is not an offensive force. He's simply bad. You cant seeem to get past the biceps and look at him as an actual basketball player which he is not very good at.

Do you know how bad Drummond is? He's shooting .545 from 0-3 feet this, also known as "at the rim."

By comparison
Elfrid is shooting .563 from 0-3 feet

In fact of everyone on the whole Knicks roster only Burks and Rose are worse from 0-3 feet than Drummond. He's worse from farther out. He doesnt hit FTs and he doesnt protect the rim. He thinks he's a star.

At least Kanter is gets buckets around the basket. Drummond is so bad. Adds zero value.

oh god, he's worse than RJ at the rim and ain't nobody worse than him

its like strangely bad. Like how can anyone be that bad kind of bad. But Briggs loves him so there's that

Yeah, you can't $h*t on Cousins and then get wowed by Drummond's offense. They're both bad, it's just Andre got more minutes. There are whispers that Andre might not have the same lift and that's why he's struggling at the rim. Don't know. Don't really care. Want no part of it.

Yikes. Add in his terrible FT % and TO to assist ratio and you realize why he doesn’t help your team win

Don't forget lack of switch ability on defense.

Drummond makes $28M this season with about half the games left, give or take.

Do you think the Knicks TEAM is willing to pay $14M and give up MORE assets to have a half season looksy for a player that has been in the league for 8+ seasons?

$14M? To see what you already KNOW and has many many downsides?

I think trying Skal from the G league, giving Obi more time and maybe trying to trade for a low cost guy that mirrors the guys we lost (Bamba?) Would be more prudent.
