Batum/Walker
for
Kanter/Lance/McD/Willy/Dotson +2 second rounders and cash

Cha gets young players back and can use Kanter as a salary dump for Batum

Knicks look like this:
PG Kemba/Frank/Burke
SG Tim/Lee
SF Batum
PF KP/Beas
C Noah/KOQ

I think that is play off team in the East, keep all our first rounders so we dont do anything stupid.

Resign KOQ 3/$36mm (guessing his open market value + he wants to be here NY native)
Resign Beas 2/$20mm (just over MLE)

Focus on drafting a wing if possible.

Takes you out of FA and the rosters upside is mostly based on guys like KP/Frank/Burke and who we draft. Also you do this if your preference is to keep KOQ over the other guys.

Makes us very small... but if Cha is in firesale mode and lets face it.. they arent the smartest franchise I think something like this might be possible if we are inclined.

You really want to do this?
You do realize you will now be responsible for Batum's awful contract. He is making Melo Money too!!
When Batum falters or is hurt, you will carry the cross and full burden of it.
For example:

Fishmike: Hey,(its 2019) Giannis is wanting to play in NYC!!!
Crush: Too bad we have Batums contract!!!
Briggs: Anyone see IT2 grew 7 inches over the summer? WE could have had him except for Fishmike signs Batum!
Fishmike: Im not the GM, I just mentioned it!
Nalod: You own it, I warned you! http://www.ultimateknicks.com/forum/topic.asp?t=57846
Knicks1248: Send him to the Gleague to lose weight!
Martin: FIsh, you kept insisting we get him!
Andrew: HEy, whats up guys?
Briggs: Batum is full ripe grown beefcake with a Boris Diaw butt! Yum!
Fishmike: Im gonna be sick!
Bonnie: Stats say Batum will suck
Briggs: Lets draft Batum's kid!!

Not sure if I would want to or not. Batum's contract is almost as bad as the season he's having. We get Kemba. Im not as high on him as some, but he's sure as hell a quality PG and one of the great 4th qtr shot makers. We def need a finisher.

Gives the Knicks a base of ball movers, scorers and rim protectors in KP/KOQ/Noah.

Im not pushing this... really more curious what other posters think

No way. If we're taking on Batum's contract we shouldn't have to give up any of WHG, Dotson (who I don't even like but whatever), or any 2nd rounders.

Unless Noah plays gone minutes that team won't rebounds very well. Also not much of scoring threat inside since KP doesn't go in there often and Noah can't score and KOQ is meh.
