put down the douche and tonic and read the premise of the thread. Its a "what do you think" and I said I didnt like the deal for the Knicks.

Here is what I think...This is one of the worse fan trades I have ever seen on a message board. You even admit in the same post that we can possibly get a better deal for that package somewhere else, lol.

You are essentially giving up THREE quality NBA role players for a mid-level first rd pick!! Lee, KOQ and McDermott are the players the Knicks should be trying to hold on to and you want to package them ALL TOGETHER for ONE mid-level first round pick in what appears to be a very WEAK upcoming draft.

Good on you for proposing it and starting a convo but this is a pretty bad trade for the Knicks.

I posted it trying to come up with trades the Knicks could make that would help other teams. Most proposals are 1 sided helping only us. Im posting this from reverse... If I am Portland what would I propose to the Knicks? and I think something like this is a reasonable offer from them. For us? I think we can do better. How much better? Its possible a deal like this is the best thing on the table we will get. That is NOT me endorsing it, just speculating.

Then during the draft Briggs will have a list of 40 player in the draft better than KOQ/LEE and McD and remind us how his prospects are better than guys like Lee making $11mm in the NBA and how if we had that Portland pick he would have 1 of 7 guys with franchise talent and chiseled greasy man bodies ready to step in make every little thing allllll right. This will carry on for 5 weeks, consisting of 3-5 new threads a week directly addressing this supplemented by 2 additional threads that appear to be different subjects but are more of the same.

On the other hand you want to pay heavily for Stan Johnson who has played well enough to warrant a ticket to the G league and now you make threads why we should take on heavy heavy cap considerations for absolute sht players for what a 23 pick in the draft?

I've identified some of the highest risers in the draft well before even mock draft sites who do it for a living did? You. Ah nada

Go back and check yourself!

Man dude - your head is so far up your sorry a** that you can't even see what a joke 95% of your posts are. Sorry but true.

Portlland really improves. Lee is quality off the bench. McD gives them another spacer and KOQ gives them size, some rim protection and is a ball mover. Really upgrades them. Knicks do it for the extra #1 in this draft. I do like this better for Portland than NY and we should be able to get better than a salary dump Hakless and a mid-late #1 for that package but I do think this is feasable as well.

Think Portland has their eyes set on Deandre Jordan?

well thats the point man... I like Harkless and the pick helps but you must admit... how people value Knick players on this board varies wildly.

Can't argue with anything you wrote there...Especially about Briggs, lol.

Maybe I am overvaluing these three just a tad bit but I think the Knicks can receive more if they spread them out. The Thunder, IMO, are in desperate need of a back C/PF. I think KOQ can do wonders there and maybe fetch one of their SF Abrines/Huestis AND a pick.

Portland does need another two guard to back up McCollum, so a trade with them does seem realistic. Harkless seems to be in the doghouse so Lee for Harkless and a draft pick seems reasonable considering Harkless contract.

Lee for Harkless and a second round pick is fair. I doubt they give up a first round pick but it does not hurt to try. Now way you include KOQ and McDermot. I think KOQ will get us a 1st round pick on his own.
