Looking at his production, I don’t know if those are empty stats on a losing team, but not sure how Minny would just trade him.

I know you are looking for more production from the 5. I just feel Mitchell still has more he can do with the right personnel and perhaps, remember his tweet he deleted- he can do more but the system doesn’t let him.

So would Naz be an upgrade- perhaps, on the offensive end- but would we be able to see the benefits of that with Randle on the squad at the same time?

I’d offer them Frank and the Piston’s 2nd rounder. And if you felt highly enough, I’d trade the lower of our pick and the Dallas pick in the first round. Naz is young enough and really seems to have an NBA ready rugged body.

Minnesota needs pure defense and rebounding. You can put towns at 4

We could use Reid at our 5 backed by Noel

Make both teams better

You don't give up on a potential first team defensive C this early for a bench bro.

I agree Martin. Where does briggs come up with these ideas?? Mitch just needs a 12 ft jumper and that can be taught. All players want to shoot but not all players want to play defense. Mitch is an anomaly

We have two defensive C— we need 1. Hrs also a spacer which Mitch is not. His defense abs rebounding is good

Mitch not being a spacer should never be a reason to throw out there as a reason to trade him. He has all defensive team potential and he took a big step in that direction this year. He absolutely needs to add more offense to his game. So the question is: Can he?

The Knicks have 1 starting level defensive player and a back up guy. If you wanted to trade Naz Reid for Nerlens, then we can have that talk cause those 2 players are more in line with one another value wise to the teams.

For me, I sit tight and think about giving Richaun Holmes an offer next year if Noel is not your cup of tea. Or sign Daniel Theis away from Boston.

Again, the C position is not the spacing problems. It's PG and an upgraded wing guy. You are trading the wrong person.

It's weird.... if the Knicks had one of the best offenses in the league, would you trade their most important offensive player for a nobody? Cause that's inline with what you are doing here

I’m looking at it like Reid is simply the better all around player and that his combination of skills would help us more than what Mitch brings. He certainly can be a productive defender
Now on the other side I don’t think Reid and KAT match up well. Kat is different player than Randle. Randle is a point forward Kat is a scorer rebounder. And again I think Reid has star potential — the upside mitch foes not have.

My bet is if anyone watched the guy they might change their mind. I’d also wager most people do not even know naz reid

Reid's been solid with KAT out. But they're not even considering trading Towns to make room for Naz. Reid is a nice piece, but I'm not thinking major needle mover. Noel would probably be more comparable in terms of value. Look up Noel's numbers with Paul last year. I'm certain we just need the right playmaking and perimeter players to unlock him.

Is there something we can do to unlock his hands?

Just need to make sure you pass it with the right touch.

+100

Do the Knicks even have a PG that we can say runs the PnR well?

Frank?
