Westbrook: Can’t happen but I’d insert him on this team and see if he can help improve. But to ship out EF an randle and burks for him does nothing but kick the can down the road with “Future picks and cap space”. Some hope vs. current status of “I have no hope for this roster”. You now committed to two years of yoot, losing and then the old “we not winning so who wants to come here”.

Houstan blew it up for Randle and EF? I doubt that.

SAC: I think they’d drool to have fox and Obi tearing up and down the court. I know Haliburton hung 38 this week on Philly but many players can get hot. I have seen him a few times and not that impressed. Im not impressed by Fox either and not at that price. He makes 30 mil a year and will be increasing. Whats easier? Getting randle back on track to something south of last year and north of this? Or that Fox step up, and OBI also BOTH demonstrate a proficiency not yet reached? Thats a wish that could would but improbable at the same time and you take on Fox’s contract.

Some of the trades being proposed by PhilC ignores the reality of contracts.

What I’d like to see is what player can enhance Randle, compliment RJ, and make shots easier for either Grimes or EF? Then what price am I willing to pay?

So basically we all agree that IQ is not a PG or won’t be ready for another season? If so, and if Grimes is becoming a Klay Thompson sort of 2, then IQ should be on the block.
I don’t want Randle as Point forward as much. Get him the ball down hill and he is unstoppable. Get him free for easier shots. We did this last year. He is not being paid 30mil, we don’t need him to shoulder that either.

We don’t have to fix this in the next 8 days via trade.

I love Grimes but his value might be thru the roof via trade. i don’t hate EF as much as some of you. IM good to trade either RELUCTANTLY if it fixes many things. Thats improbable so don’t get excited.

If Sac is reluctant to dump Fox, and Philly Simmons why Am I so fast to dump Randle? He has achieved more than Fox!
Nobody wants randle if he is a lost cause. If not, then he is seen as needing a chemistry change. If so, why not here?

Although most of you are kinda serious about this.

"improbable" is what keeps it real.

If the Knicks trade for Westbrook then Leon and Co. should all be fired. OTOH, if Westbrook is bought out - sign him, he'd be a great vet off the bench (lose Kemba).

I'm not a fan of anyone on Sacto, tbh. They all looked awful. I have doubts about Brunson as well. Simmons is high risk, dubious reward.

Be that as it may be, the FO simply needs to land somebody/anybody who is in fact a starting PG. Nobody's going anywhere wo/one.

Randle and "on track" is an oxymoron. He ain't going anywhere and as long as that's true neither are "we". All Knick problems triangulate to Randle's chronic weaknesses.

I'm never sure what the word 'fix' means with the Knicks. In the next few days the Knicks can and should perform some course correction roster surgery. And the goal must be to make the playoffs because Thibs...

If the plan is to get Brunson - just go get him. No more soap opera, summer FA narrative nonsense. If not then get a short-term PG fix for the season - we aren't competing for a ring.

And, restore some chemistry. Find a couple of bench "dogs" who add value and who open up the starting and secondary units to promoting minutes for best players available.

So, in this case, fix just means make the team whole and competitive.
