what can we do to salvage the off season?
in a league where owners are losing money during this pandemic they sure like to spend....

having a PF / C that can also hit wide open 3pointers that can defend hold value
like Marcus Morris, look to acquire him with intent to trade but also help our development with Obbi and Mitch
teams are spending at premiums to be able to acquire players for their playoff push and besides Atlanta teams, legit contenders can not give Ibaka a contract
we have to consider a number and years that we can use to acquire assets with possible bidding wars
not sure if a 1year offer or 3year offer but knicks need to do what they can at this point


3 and D wings are pretty much all gone
wonder if we even had an offer for Crowder


can certainly see a team like clippers making a pitch for rozier in the deadline with a future pick and a swap

Aron Baynes (think Sun's will resign so unlikely to find a deal to work with for value)
Bogdan RFA

Markief Morris

Noel?

lower tiers to help development?

Kent Bazemore

MKG
Wesley Iwundu


we still can resign Dotson with the intent of trading him but I do not know what would his value and demand me to justify a contract
has to be a lower contract like 3-5m for 1-3years (problem is many teams can offer him such contracts still)
pretty sure the regime wants to give IQ dotson's minutes and that is why they did not offer QO but with how the things played out who knows...

next step after that
we also have to eventually consider our future moves in our regime

Frank even Mitch Robinson
even
RJ

to resign and if so at what numbers or to possibly sending them off with rookie contract..... eventually for value
they can all be solid players in solid contracts but just not worth overpaying to keep at this point
they likely will eventually want out

for instance we can not afford to pay Mitch a big number and still acquire top talent in FA
however a team with his rookie contract or friendly contract can afford to go over the top to keep him

are we going to try to go OKC route to acquire multiple rookie contracts and hope to preserve cap space to make it an ideal team to compete when ready
an example would be like Atlanta with Trae Young

we need direction, a plan A, B, C, and our number guys to work together that also have to realize we will need to overpay for talent but also justify a possible trade if it doesn't work out for assets
GH simply was not worth that price and he could be the next Nic Batum

players like Jae crowder Chris Wood should have been the targets we look to acquire

we surely hired the wrong coach and should have hired atkinson along with the wrong front office..... with presti and morey we could have made a difference i think


another possible step

i can see Dolan stepping in and look to acquire Harden
RJ Barreat, Randle, and a **** load of picks to make the salary work


Frank
Harden

Tucker?
Ibaka?
Mitch


basically Harden while older now with Iverson like team with a bit more talent

Ibaka and what else can we do for development and acquire assets?
