Financially rookie contracts make a lot of sense and carry value.
Im basically for NOT trading picks but from a fans perspective the unknown is always better than the known.
Im not a studant on Andrew Wiggins but for sure he has not carried the Franchise as once thought and as some point he gets paid.
At some point one has to judge or risk losing him and his potential. Likewise another team has to pay him as well, and the perspective of value and his potential has to be judged.
"can he rise to the level of Westbrook, Harden, Kobe, or the like? Im not putting him in potential Lebron-Jordan range.
He has been vetted to some extent at the NBA level which would give some tangible knowledge than a kid performing at the college level. Nobody is standing head above another in this draft. Its deep, full of risk, which gives it great opportunity. Someone can walk away with a gem at the 8th pick while the second might be a bust.
Rose gives teams the ability to have scoring now. For instance (Just a concept), Rose and our pick for Dragic and Justise Winslow. If Knicks thought Winslow at his very young age has a ton of potential and triangle wise will do very well, its makes sense. Dragic gives us a great guard in his very prime. The trade is imbalanced, as our pick for winslow is not even, but Dragic for free agent rose is lopsided as Rose is pending free agent. Gives us two starters and a wing for the future. Again, im not lobbying hard for this but its just some skin scratching stuff.
Miami has done very well this year without Winslow. There is the risk Riley drafts a stud, no doubt it has risks. If Winslow can return and put his career back on a trajectory that is excellent its intriguing at the very least. An early injury in a career can really mature a kid and make him realize what it takes to be a professional.
Just kicking around stuff here, just looking at concepts. Rose might have some value. We might just resign him.
Im wondering if Knicks and Minny were looking at a bigger deal and just decided to wait until the off season.
