Right, and he will take a chunk of his minutes.

I'm almost certain Mitch would be included

An any case, the only person I've heard say that the talks are more than exploratory is Ian Begley. I'm not sure there's much to this rumor right now.

It would be a horrible trade. Hornets are interested in Drummond (makes more sense for them than us) and get out of Roziers contract (Devonte graham is playing better than anticipated)

Knicks won't do this trade. Eats cap space beyond 2 years and Rozier ain't worth it.

Detroit and or Drummond has every reason to make this public though. And for it to become public tells me that they weren’t close on a deal even if information was exchanged.

Exactly

Why would that not be an insta-trade. Some folks want out of Randle's contract, Drummond is basically expiring since he will turn down his option. Frank is a bench pg. Yes, signing Drummond would cost a lot, but he is a solid player and a New Yorker if I recall. Couldn't hurt to test him out here. At the beginning of the season, if asked who would most prefer, I think it would be Drummond over Randle. That is basically the trade.

They have Markieff and some stated they might want to trade for Kennard. I like Bullock, but he isn't shooting the 3 as high % and his FT% isn't great. Just don't give up picks in the trade and it is a win IMO.

Can we add some perspective and a hint of reality to posts?

Bullock is an 80% career FT shooter. This year he has shot 2 FTs and missed 1.

Bullock is also a career 40% 3pt shooter. His eFG% is 57% right now which is outstanding. His small sample size with only 7 games played this year after missing end of summer, training camp, and most of season is vast.

Also, you don't give away value in trades without a guarantee of getting something back, you just don't test a player out for a couple of months; Randle/Frank for Drummond is a weak trade.

Perspective here, those aren't his numbers this season. Under 40% 3s and 50% ft.
