I just edited my post, what do you think about Mo Bamba. Classic trade of two players who may benefit from a change of scenery?

Mo Bamba is coming back from not being able to play because of COVID. He makes $7.5M next year.

If you were Orlando what would you give up for DSJr who was **** last year and didn't look much better this year and is already hurt?

As far as the Magic is concerned, the Knicks should do their due-diligence but I'm not sure the Magic need him. They have Cole Anthony and Michael Carter Williams to play point. Fournier can run the point for a few mins a night if need be...

I do wonder if he's still hurt, if if the Knicks are trying to protect whatever value they think he has left. I wouldn't be surprised if we flipped DSJ for ex Wildcat Malik Monk. Our problem for thier's.

Not following the Hornets. Monk is a problem? Man, shows you what I know. I wanted either Frank or Monk back in 2017.

Mo has a lot to prove about being able to play the NBA game, like just getting on the court

I don't know what their pick situation looks like, but I would be on board for a deal to roll the dice on Mo Bamba and a pick for DSJ. Maybe even just Bamba for DSJ straight up. Isn't Bamba from NY?

Sad to hear about Fultz. He was putting it together. As for Smith, think there is no reason to sell low. What exactly is the rush? Not like he is taking a youngsters minutes. Nor is he taking minutes from everyone's favorite, Frank. Really think that Knicks should talk him into going to G League. Maybe present it as a rehab type of situation. If anyone needs to regain his form, it's Dennis. Feel Smith's team would see this as the best way to increase his value and possibly show teams he is worth considering for extended PG minutes.

Also, I thought the Mavs wanted to send Smith to the G-league his last year there and he had a problem with it. Things may be different now, but I have a hard time believing he would agree to it at this point in his career.

Maybe the "problem" is too strong of a word, but Monk has been collecting DNP's same and Dennis.

That’s because Monk is a shooting specialist who can’t shoot

Do that trade in a nanosecond but I doubt Orlando has any interest in DSJ

Which is why I don't think it's far fetched trading him for DSJ. At least DSJ has put up numbers early in his career. What has Bamba done? But under Thibs he may be able to tap into his potential. Bottom line is, we're not getting anybody for DSJ who doesn't have issues or questions.

Orlando has Cole and MCW. DSJ doesn't really move the needle for them. They need a proven vet, not a broken project.
