No.
I know you're a Hernangomez homer but he is the one that needs to go (I say that not know if it would work money wise). KOQ is settled in the rotation and a reason to early team success, why would you want to disrupt that? Then there's this...http://www.ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=57489 |

Untouchable? No, but I consider both lottery pick caliber talent and value them accordingly. If thats overvaluing I am ok with erring on that side 2) I dont want to. However good teams that sustain winning are forward thinking. KOQ is playing very well for us. What is his long term place and role here? With Willy/Kanter and Noah I am not sure there is one. Somehow the glut of bigmen needs to break up. The thought process is that KOQ can yield a future asset while Noah or Willy steps into his role 3)Im ok with that also. Nothing has changed. Again, its just about forward thinking and opportunity. I am not looking to make whole sale changes. The only change is the 16mpg at back up center are up for grabs and we have two good candidates in Willy/Noah. Both good for different reasons. I think its more likely we get value for KOQ than Willy. Willy has appeal to a rebuilding young team. Well thats what the Knicks are, winning or not. So deals for Willy are tougher because we would want a young prospect or quality draft pick back. Two things that young rebuilding teams dont give up. However KOQ is ready to help a playoff team now. He's got a good jumper, is an excellent passer and protects the rim. He would bring a lot to a team like Hou, GS, Cle, Portland... teams looking to add depth. KOQ is a nice bench player (we are seeing that first hand) and IMO worth a late first rounder or young player not getting burn. In Crowder's case he's an asset, but one that be a long term fixture.

The idea of squeezing a team only works if that team is in a win now mode/playoff run. We are a rebuilding team who would want draft picks or young players we can develop...and rebuilding teams like us are not going to give us young prospects or a potential lottery pick for another young prospect. Makes no sense. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
