maybe there is a path now for Rokas to come over next year now as well

Vegas knows. No movement in odds.

We’ve all watched OG and haven’t been impressed. Don’t know who he is half the time he’s out there.

Raptors boards seem to be pumped about IQ. Bet he averages over 20pts.

I saw OG was basically in the top 0-1% percentile in like all the key advanced defensive metrics. When planning to compete in the East you need a stopper who can guard Tatum, Butler, Giannis. I'm really interested if we start Grimes and OG now. Think about how lockdown that wing duo can be.

One way to put it

MS @ 12/30/2023 4:19 PM
Just wait, didn’t want to pay IQ 22-25MM this guy is going to demand $40MM and we are going to give it to him. Can’t take over a game and we are going to hand out an insane contract.

I was thinking that as well. Rokas has a shot for playing time.

Movement in odds for a +5000 long shot that has no chance of winning it all is kind of dumb.

Rokas agent said he wouldn't come over unless there was a clear role and path to playing time. Well 6th man / backup PG for the Knicks is pretty solid, especially after seeing how IQ produced in that role for years.

I guess RJ, IQ and the Detroit second is kinda the equivalent of the 3 first rounders Masaia wanted for OG last year

but now those 2 issues are removed.

He's also a guy that CLE would probably gladly take in a Mitchell trade down the line.

I look at it as RJ and Quick for OG and the DET pick for Precious and Flynn.

Feels like the same type of reaction when Brunson was signed.

What did you expect from the odds? Our chance of doing anything big was gone when Mitch got injured.

would you rather pay OG $35m or RJ & IQ 50-55m?

i gotta say after seeing Obi and Cam elsewhere I trust our talent evaluation more now.

I thought Rokas would be included in this deal to Toronto.

Knicks still have 2 first round picks and a stash Utah second rounder this draft.

signing DDV makes more sense now in terms of asset management. he will give us most of what IQ did at half the price.
