Knicks · Do we keep D’Andre Jordan on a lesser deal? (page 2)

Things can go south quickly in NY, dont know if Irving is the guy to lead us through it. Durant sure. Would rather try to make it work with DSJ, or draft a PG, if Zion isnt available. Would rather max out at other positions, if necessary. Dont believe Irving/Durant will get us to the promised land. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Agree 100%

I agree that he must not come at the expense of a 2nd Star.

DJ
Durant
Zion
Kawhii
DSjr

Robinson
Knox
Trier
Vonleh
Dotson
Frank
Kornet

Thats a pretty good team. Vonleh and DJ will be tough given the cap situation but got to make the effort to make it happen.

The team would have Rim protection and perimeter D and a ton of scoring options. Only thing lacking would be a bona fide shooter. Dotson is just not there

That is a very good team but unfortunately not a realistic one, there really isn't a way for us to fit Durant, Kawhi, and Jordan and keep the rest of those guys and like some have mentioned he's not good enough to severely limit the rest of our roster flexibility and construction.

I also don't think DSJ would be a fit for that group, or really with any 2 max FA's. This is a guy that was unhappy about Doncic being the focal point of that offense even though he's way better. If the offense was run right with that group, he'd maybe be the 4th option at best. That team would need a selfless player at PG. But the good news there is I think that would be relatively easy to find. It would be a great day if filling that hole with the rest of a roster like that is our biggest problem.

I kind of agree with this, instead of someone like DSJ (or even Frank), you want a guy who protects the ball, plays defense and is a willing passer. On a dream team like the above you could probably sell DSJr and Frank ~$9.5M in cap space for picks and/or a decent PG. Sign Patrick Beverly. Rondo will be out there. The return of Lin?
