You don't really have to make a move on THJ because there's plenty of teams with cap space that could absorb THJ contract if you need to create more room..
If you trade Hardaway you get closer to signing KD and Possibly Rozier. He is not that high on my scope but then if Timmy got 18mm, why shouldn't Rozier? Problem is the value. He plays on a really good team. If Hardaway played on the Celtics and was not beaten up from being our no. 1 option might he also be seen as attractive? See where im going? Over valuing others until they become a knick.
I'll take Smith as he can be one of our new reclamation projects to "get him right" but its no shock that I would not give up Frank. There is a long list of others they can have. Im irrationally a fan of our rookies. They are "indigenous" knicks and we have had few of them over the years.
As for Rainman's 4 draft picks it reads like a mock of the top 4. Can't disagree.
Vocevic next to KP? Interesting. I thought Mitch is the future. I suppose at the right price he can fade to back up in time. That's where is is heading. Middleton? Not sure what his price is but also at the PF were does that put KP? At the 5? Where is knox at 6-9 and growing? If at the 3 for now?
Also if you draft Zion or Barrett, were do they play? Reddish a bonafide 2 or eventual 3?
Way to early to start this but im long on the theme of pick the best player available. That keeps the water murky for some time. Draft is just days past the end of the finals. Winter is here.
