1.) According to Hahn, Payton cannot be traded because he was signed after not being signed - in essence making his contract no-trade. According to Hahn all the Knicks can do is waive him if they go that route.

2.) if you intend to trade a 2021 first-rounder, make it the Knicks pick and not the Mavs.

Or you can just blanket say you will trade the worst of the 2 picks

Honestly I want to keep both. Going to be a deep class and there is a possibility both could be high especially with the new lottery rules

Same

They're saying Thibs is high on Markkanen. Also mentions interest around the league in trading for Randle. Links provided.

We would have to get a good deal for Randle. We did well on the Morris trade. Might do even better with Randle.

Markkanen concerns me. His injury history. We dodged a bullet with KP. The FO could be stepping right back in front of one, with Markkanen.

This article proposes 4 1st rounders plus Randle, Frank, Knox, Bullock, for Beal.

Seems steep, even for Beal. Id offer 3, the way Randle is playing.

Here's another article suggesting that Randle would be a great fit in Boston. Dont know if Rose would trade Randle to a division rival.

Dont know who Rose would want on the Celts, who they would be willing to part with. Guessing it would be mostly about picks.

Not sure how this trade will work with just picks. The knicks are already more than 10M below the minimum salary threshold, if the celtics absorbe Randle what will happem?

Randle has finally emerged as a knick starting PF making it easy for fans to forget Porzingis. The knicks have finally found an answer for the starting PF i would rather anoint him as untouchable. Unless behind the scenes Thibs and the coaching staff have seen enough of Obi to know that he can match what Randle is doing now.

If that is the case i can consider trading randle only if we get Jaylen brown and if they are generous throw prichard also. Maybe we can send a 1st rounder with Randle, the draft after the cade draft.

You only trade 3 first rounders for a player that elevates your team into serious championship contention, or at least makes you a virtual lock to make conference finals. The Knicks with Beal will not be there, not even close.

Unless some team offers in an insane return that we can’t turn down then no. Also I don’t think we have to rush to resign him either. He does Theoretically have another Year in his contract so no rush

Yeah, there's no need to rush into anything now. But you still need to contemplate what you're going to do with Randle in the future. Max him? Trade him and replace him with Obi? Randle is having a career year and he's going to get a max deal if he continues into next season. Let's be real....this team is likely a .500 team if Randle is your best player. It might not be worth building around him.

Why?? This makes no sense. Lonzo has been crap discounting the past few games and is a RFA? Why would you want to pay him when he is so unproven. Also, I’d want back much more than Lonzo for Randle. It’d have to be their pick this year and mebbe Nickell Walker or something. Besides they got Zion.
