Sign & Trade to Minny for Donte?

Allows the Knicks to stay flexible with an expiring at lower cost, brings Donte back home.
Gives Minny a needed 3&D playoff performer.

Package Deuce, Pacome & #24 to Hornets for Tidjane Salaun & #18.

If you over the second apron, you cannot do S&T. No idea if Knicks could do it.

DDV tore his achilles just a month ago. He is not playing next season one would gather. Tatum came back about 11 months from his and was not 100%. That was an anomaly.

DDV played all 82 games, a first for him and was having a great season (his career includes torn ACL and other injuries. He did play 81 games for us!)

I cry for him and so wish he was part of this with is 'Nova mates.
Maybe Leon cries also?

Sentiment aside, and our new found love for Shamet one might want to consider what going over the 2nd apron does for the team.
WE running it back after a chip or need to get better to win one? The East will improve next year.

Detroit has cap space.
Indy has a center and Hali.
Clev could trade Mobley for Giannis.
Orlando reboots some with new coach. (it worked for us!)
ATL will make moves and improve.

With Mitch in limbo and other aspects as much as I love Shamet and Deuce they both have considerations to ponder about their futures.
Knicks have to consider the realities beyond the emotional attachments.

We don't. The outcome of the finals will determine Leons path.

2 year deals make it manageable. 4 year deals are tough as injuries or fall off in play could make those deals harder to get out of when the tax starts kicking our ass. And teams will know Knicks are desperate to get out of it will .

Staying in the 2nd apron for only the financial punishment, and low level penalties for a year or 2 works.

Can't forget about MO.

knicks win a chip, its logical to run it back for the fans. The road attendance would be high, the ratings would be nice, and its a victory lap that odds are does not repeat.

Knicks don't win you have to get better becusse other teams will be also, To lose this series when up 2-0 will be ugly.
How that happens flavor the decisons. Did Mitch get hurt? Did Shamet go ice cold? Did SAS just utterly outplay us or did we collapse?
Fan sentiment will change.

I expect SAS to not go away tonite. They will come in with an air of confidence if not to simply hold thier heads up high. They will attempt to intimidate. They will try a schemiatic that knicks did not see coming?

A win tonite will be great! One game at a time!

NBA has made a big push to make Wemby the face of the league. Had me thinking Brunson and KAT are ideal players & personalities to have as faces of the league has the refs ****ting on them.

I dissagree. KAT has not been in foul trouble and having a great post season.
Brunson is tearing it up. Who hit the winning foul shot game 2?
Wemby is not getting to the line as much as he could.
Yes, there have been some ****ty calls on knicks.

Lets be real, KAT was a whiney complainer for much of the season leading the league in Fouls. Many offensive. DId he really deserve to be made the Face of the league? Jalen was left off the olympic team and denied in his first season his allstar nod. He kept earniing it and likley like Melo and Ewing get one on the back end on reputation. They are earning it and if they will will be promoted as such going forward.

Wemby is a curiosity to the causual fan and NBA, an entertainment business will promote him as they have many in the past. Jalen is getting endorsements, isn league promos, etc. He is stoic, not very personable, and keeps his personal side private. Not like Ant Edwards! LOL. Brunson was a 2nd round pick and undervalued/underestimated his professional career.
