Assuming KP is a future center -- Outside of our potential draft pick we have virtually nothing at the 1-4.

We could use a great young guard and a young wing SF.

My post assumes Melo is gone this summer.

Its a good idea if we get a nice return, you can't play 2 lumbering bigs upfront anymore

this conversation is 4-5 years premature

Lumbering? KP one the skills contest, that is not a lumbering player.
I'd say not event the knicks might even know what to do with this kid. He has skills and fundamentals at 7'3 I don't think anyone has seen before.
A hybrid of Dirk/Pau but with a handle better than both. Both were super skinny at his age.
Lumbering?

Anyone remember when the Spurs traded a young up and coming big-PG named George Hill for an unknown draft pick named K-Leonard.

You can trade young assets -- just has to be for the right player/pick.

Again - I'm not saying we should do this I'm saying we should understand exactly what the market is for Willy because we already have 3 other centers on the roster outside of KP and Willy.
