I would even throw in our 2nd rounder to make that happen, or move Dennis Smith to a third team to get an additional 2nd round pick to move to the clippers. Shamet is the perfect young prospect to place on the wing opposite of Barrett. He's 22 years old, can really shoot it, and can handle the ball a little. Getting a late first rounder isn't enough for Morris, you need a young player who is proven enough to be a good longterm starter and fits with the current young core. Shamet is probably the most realistic player that makes sense. You can play Shamet and Barrett at the 2 and 3 with a tradition PG, or play them at the 1 and 2 in bigger lineups. For those still high on Ntilikina, a lineup consisting of Ntilikina, Shamet and Barrett at the 1, 2, and 3 makes a ton of sense. If you add a PG like Haliburton in the draft a core group of Barrett, Mitch, Shamet, and Haliburton (and Knox and Ntilikina to a lesser extent) is a young core we can really get behind.

Feels good, Fish! We have someone in the front office who seems to know what he is doing. Has a plan and is following through...That Clippers trade would be nice.

I like Perry's track record and the teams he's been a part of. Not all huge success stories but you do what you can do with what you got. We could really just use some competent FO moves. Fingers crossed the next 24 hours are good

I hope that this proves to be something to get excited about. I will say I would rather Perry call the shots. that said, the next pres will probably want to install his own GM. So from that aspect, it feels like Phil drafting only to get shown the door soon there after

yup... one can never trust or count on Dolan to do right, as he never has. We are all hoping for blind luck and based on the amount of misses we are due

Hopefully this is just a play it straight. Team is bad, you gotta play the young guys and get any assets you can to build. Hopefully they can get something good for Morris and maybe take on contract with an extra year and another asset to get a team out of luxury etc... We'll see. Pretty sure you and I could make some decent moves with a phone list and the realgm trade checker

from what I'm reading, the knicks are loking to trade Knox and Frank for Russell. They are looking to trade Morris for Kuzma.

a lineup of:
Russell
Barrett
Kuzma
Randle
Mitch

probably doesn't win many more games than we have this year - but - I would be way more enthusiastic about the team's future

0 outside shooting on that team outside of Russell. I'd be very sad.

with up to 54 million in cap space is great position to be in. Wish this FA class was good but some pretty decent options out there. Fournier, Gallo, Drummond, Bertans, Baynes and even Morris again. I'd make a run at Drummond on a 3 year deal then use remaining for a shooter on a short term deal in the starting lineup and have Barrett coming coming off the bench as 6th man. Likely get 35 wins next year and keep building from there.

Oh thank god... and it should be. He would be HUGE for either of those teams. I think the LAkers are especially vunerable to good tough defenses and Marcus would really push them over the edge.

cool!!!!!!

thanks for posting

Dolan must be glad to hear it. Glad Perry is running this. He got us a decent haul for Melo, who needed a year off, he was so spent. Believe he's a better estimator of value than Mills. More value in trading Morris.
