News of a star could demand a trade to the knicks within a year started circulating. A name being speculated is Kat. Honestly, if we give up Mitch and Randle for Kat I think the knicks solid interior rim protection will suffer bigtime. Not really sure i want Kat here. Before Thibs took over the T-wolves, Kat is a player i would want in this team but seeing how he responded to Thibs' coaching I dont want him here but what's puzzling is Thibs is on board with the idea of bring him here.
Aside from trading for Kat another player could join the team in free agency, Oladipo or Kawhi. If thibs can get everyone on board the way he has done with this current roster, a roster with Kat, RJ, Oladipo or kawhi under Thibs' defense could be an interesting team.
Im not really sold on Kat, i would rather develop mitch's offense the same way Thibs made prime Jaokim a 2-way threat.
This current roster have some similarities to thibs' old Chicago team. Mitch is the Jaokim 2.0, randle is boozer 2.0, RJ is the Deng 2.0, Quickley is the Korver 2.0 and rose is an older version of himself. I just want Leon and Thibs to be patient with this group. Let them grow and mature. The most i want them to do to change this roster is to just add a player in free agency Kawhi or Oladipo to this young core and continue the development.
Would you want to trade for a star or let this group grow and see if they can be special?
