How do you trade with Miami and not ask for Bam Adabayo? Do you really take back their bad contracts just to make Lollards happy? No way man

Knicks give up too much in trades while Riley never does

They get to say who they will and will not put into the trade. Give up all their bad contracts and get Dame with trash picks. Whenever we are in for a trade we must give up Quick, Grimes, RJ and multiple picks. Life is never fair for us Knicks fans.

Donovan Mitchell gonna study this move

I understand why Dame wants Miami. But… why does Miami want Dame?

UM, BECAUSE dame is still a GREAT PLAYER

Up to the Knicks or other teams to make a better offer. Team can do what they want like D Mitchell. But Caleb Martin, Herro, Robinson and picks better be in it

Very strange, Ramona the Portland mouthpiece to get other teams to up Dame offer?

Let’s be clear, yes, he is probably too 5 offensive player in the league. That comes with a high usage (33%), an elite FT% (91%), questionable defense and a questionable health history. Oh, and an absurd salary. The last part is the key.

Lillard has a player option in 2026-2027 for 63mm per year. Just think about that. In 2025 they are paying Butler a 37 year old Butler 53mm and and 36 year old 60mm. With penalties for being over the apron.

I think the days of 3 max contracts have passed. Maybe it works well for him. I hope Miami makes that trade and gives ups picks to make it work.

This makes a lot more sense to me.

I don't see how these are comparable. I mean, it was P.J. Carlesimo.

Just kidding kids... it's never okay to choke ANYBODY.

Unless it's Mark Jackson. Or Reggie Miller. Or J.B. Smoove or Kevin Hart (essentially the same person).

Listen. There's obviously some wiggle room here. But just resist the urge.

I thought I had read about the resolution of his incident and thought I would be ok with working to acquire him.

From this article below- it seems Charlotte doesn't want him, but wants to trade him. So I think that is the scenario.

Obi & EF and some draft picks?

Is there room to add to that list? Asking for a friend of a friend, gotta make sure there is plausible deniability

Dang, was kinda hoping he would go to Houston to set up the eventual exit of Giannis

Zion says it's Ok if it's a pornstar, but you have to pay extra.

This hurts me personally.

I am happy for Obi that they put him in the perfect situation for his game. I am pissed that our headcoach is too stubburn to see what we had in Obi. I am interested to see how much of an impact he has on the Pacers.

Same, hope he does well in Indiana. Hope this means we have a trade for Jared Vanderbilt in the works into that exception since the Lakers have nothing but Power Forwards on their roster.

Dang was hoping Knicks could swing for Garuba

Anything to get a young Herro out of Miami. Lillard is old and plays no defense. A rare move by Riley that actually won’t be good

martin @ 7/1/2023 3:55 PM
Pretty good for Lakers?
