this makes no sense to me. Telling Beal to stick through potentially 2 more years of mediocrity or worse, hoping a superstar will join a sucky team for sub-max

no pg. new coach. mostly young guys and i suspect some bickering as all of the young forwards will be fighting for minutes

i still think they're getting rid of Beal who is on a different timeline at this point

Why would we trade the 19 and 21 picks just to get to 15?

If the knicks can somehow get #8 from the magic with the trade for Ross, im assuming it includes 19 and 21, do you still see them taking Duterte at 8 or Mitchell?

Does pulling a trigger on this trade eliminate the knicks from acquiring Sexton assuming the rumored initial package included the 19 or 21 pick?

Here we go again, i feel knicks targets are starting to slip away... they had interest in Shamlet, he just got traded. They have interest in Lonzo, pelicans in talks with Pacers for a possible sign and trade(is that even legal? Free agency is not open until next week).

Its either the presence of Rubio will show Sexton the door or Rubio was brought in to mentor both Garland and Sexton. I think the Former is most likely.

Maybe Sexton is primed to be traded, can the knicks swoop in and still be able to move up the draft?

Jimbo5 @ 7/29/2021 7:25 PM
The knicks last year surprised us all by overachieving and getting the 4th seed in the East. Can they do something similar this year? Im hoping they can strike gold in this draft by finding this year's Vucevic, Draymond or Middleton or Jimmy Butler.

wizards now need a point guard. perhaps KNick make a move for Wizards pick, and the Wizards make the move on Sexton???

I think Sexton is going out the door, but it's probably as simple as who is gonna take Kevin Love back at this point. If someone blinks on that the deal is done.

If up to me Id go with it.

Forgettinf his contract for a second, there is a universe where Love is a useful player. He shoots the 3 and can rebound. He can add legit scoring punch. Just don't know where is head is at. Is he done as a player or is there some reviving him?
Chandler @ 7/29/2021 7:40 PM
I am hoping we now keep all of our picks. Definitely don’t want to trade up at a premium.

He could play 4-5 for us off the bench for 20 minutes

Chandler @ 7/29/2021 8:01 PM
Let’s be honest. Love might be able to help or he could be Joachim Noah. He’s not the same guy anymore

If he ends up a bum you’re having the team compete w one arm tied behind its back. It’s like giving up a quality player

Depends what's attached to take the contract right?

So ya gotta take the full 5 minutes even if you're 100% on whom you're taking. At least it isn't the NFL 15 minutes....

Shoot, I was hoping Cade would fall to 19.

You can tell how scarred I am from the Lakers getting everything they want. There was a graphic that said Jalen Green grew up in Cali and the 1st thought in my head was in 7 years he will be going to the Lakers.
