Adding Oubre and Payne, while retaining Bullock, Rose and possibly Noel makes us much better while not breaking the bank. Imagine them on our squad and also hitting on 2 or 3 of our draft picks. I believe that's how we should do it. What do you think?

Is Oubre worth what he thinks he can get on the open market? I don't think so. If he finds that he overestimated his value and we can get him on a short term/team friendly deal, I would consider it. But there are a bunch of other players I want the Knicks to pursue first before signing either Oubre or Payne.

He can defend, drive, and pass, he's not just a one trick pony, his shooting is definitely a little on the ( JR Smith suspect style) but he does bring a little more than bullock or Burks in the length and Height game.

For me, its the athleticism and wingspan.

I don't think of 25-26 as particularly old in NBA terms and still think guys like Oubre have room to take another step. For Oubre, it comes down to price and mentality. Will he put the work in to improve his shot?

Looking back to his 19/20 season in Phoenix, he looked like he was ready to take that next step in a starting role. I don't think GSW appreciates the things he does well the way Thibs might.

I like him better at $14MM per than $20mm per. His $20mm per conversations sound like crazy talk to me. On a 2+1 contract like Randle's that can clear by the 2023 offseason, I am pretty interested to the extent we are building around Randle.
