Boston needs a center... they currently have Kyrie Irving and Smart. Getting Willy would be a good look for them You know why I'm here....

No to trading Willy. I would do Kanter for Smart, they can keep Rozier(he is death eater
 )The only things that trickle down are wages and horse shit

Can't trade him. We are trying to build a future. He is our long term 6th man. O'quinn will be traded.

LOL
 Seriously, I think he is better than 6th man but the men in front of him are doing well too. Hopefully, Willy can have a chance to prove he has what it takes to be a starting center.

The second part of the idea of trading Willy is the fact we won't be able too trade Kanter that easily. It's more about his salary. Teams just aren't looking for a center. Atlanta, maybe dallas,... you can run down the line. Most teams have an adequate center. It's also so much easier to move Willy. He's projected to be productive if given starters minutes. He's on a rookie contract.
I bring up Rozier because he's ready to start now. Celtics need a center. Hortford, Tatum, Willy, Kyrie and Brown is a pretty nice nucleus .... You know why I'm here....

No reason to trade him right now at least. Right now his trade value isn't that high as it could be because he is being stapled to the bench(which is obviously am upset about)

Knicks1248:
1. Dolan should be more involved! 2. Why would any knick fan want pick 8, when that spot has a history of producing marginal NBA taken. (He prefers pick 9th instead)

I trade Kanter & KOQ before Willy. I think both have value. I think the FO may have outright told Jeff to showcase them & say they earned time over Willy.

No chance, big men usually take years to show progress.
Look at his production last year when he got minutes. They are better than Kanter far and away and the kid has an unbelievable feel for the game. He’s also a tremendous passer! You don’t trade away talent like that |

If Willy goes through another season without any measurable improvement in his defense, I wouldnt be against the Knicks exploring other options. Want to see two way players at every starting postion, if possible. If Willy is coming off the bench, getting meaningful minutes there, thats another matter. Dont let him start until he plays solid D. Or find someone to do what Lopez did. |

No we need to calm down.
I kind of dont get this organization.(ongoing) How come a "good team" Memphis is playing Dillon Brooks big minutes(picked after dotson) while Dotson and Willy are nOT playing and were a supposed lottery team? We can use 4 guys at C-PF Willy can play back up 4 man for KP--HP doesnt need to play 38 minutes on this team?? C Lee is who C Lee is Sessions THJ all the same thing--give Dotson PT and see what he can do. And dont stone Willy out? |

So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Everyone sees his per 36 min stats. They see him in Eurobasketball. They know he's KPs boy. Right now he can get us Rozier who's a fantastic up and coming player himself. If Willy was playing now, I think his value would drop. Kid is the Frankenstein monster. Looks coordinated and good often but clumsy and stiff too. You know why I'm here....

Gotta put your personal affection for certain players aside. It's all aboot the Knicks, not one player. That's what we did with Melo too. We gotta stop that nonsense You know why I'm here....
