Teams in the Knicks position never do that. Ever. iHart does not walk if we trade for someone else with the Bogey contract. They just wouldn't trade Bogey if that were to instigate anything with iHart.

I don't know where that comes from but it's not the right take.

iHart is probably going to get paid more somewhere else. Something we can't match. I know you get that part. The iHart thing isn't completely in our control. 99% of all NBA players are going to take the money. Will he do a 1 year deal with us? I dunno, but that is the work around. If he gets injured he could be screwed. No players agent is going to say 'you're happy? Hey I get it, don't take the money!'

If we keep iHart and re-sign Bogey then where are we with the new cap rules and how do they affect a Bogey trade? I don't know, but it is a factor in decision making. You have to account for all scenarios

iHart can do a 1 year opt out/opt in or be content to move his Instagram LA wife from NYC to OKC to be a majorly overpaid backup up Chet for 2 years. Backup. Chet played 30mpg.

Or he and Mitch can chillax and do fart jokes for 1 more year and stay in the family of the team that developed him and made him a starter. I personally think the Knicks will feature iHart in the offense for Knicks at top of key ala Noah. He’ll be 5th option on offense level involved at OKC.

iHart will need to rely on a bit of a promise for 1 more year or really get to know Crypto?

His choice.

OKC isn’t going to pay iHart starter money to come off the bench. He will start next to Chet guaranteed if OKC is the team

OKC has been linked to every free agent this off season. This is a case where the smoke is probably just smoke. I agree that it doesn't make sense for OKC to open up the Brinks truck for a guy who will end up being a situational big. They have a crap load of draft picks and could simply trade for someone who makes more sense. Heck, they could trade for Mitch.

I think they see Chet as a C but I’m not really in the know there.

If you are going to overpay for someone, why not target a better fit?

I mean it’s Stefan Bondy breaking the story claiming an un-named nba source.

Nalod @ 6/12/2024 3:15 PM
From what I have read Chet is the future but that skinny dude is a 5.
The short term pay thing makes sense as one needs to have tradable contracts. If your gonna overpay, do it like Rockets did with FVV.
That deal is insane.
Knicks do deals that are tradable but have yet to really do so. RJ was circumstantial.
Randle is a very tradable contract and the KAT thing I don't think happens but one might think KAT becomes our 5 if it does.
I just have a hard time with that contract. He has yet to start the extension and is not that kind of good player.

Thibs has to sign off on a KAT. He is not that bad a defender and perhaps a more mature KAT with a big honking bag is down to dial it back for the sake of the team.

I'll be rooting in any event!!!!

What comps are you using to price iHart so highly? Best comp is Mitch Robinson at 14-16mm (team friendly payment schedule). There is a particular bias on this board to overvalue our own players. I see him getting 4 years $14mm per. Maybe just a 1 + 1 deal to take him into Birdrights if there is real a question on him increasing his value this coming year.

This is a list of current C contracts sorted by AAV.
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/contracts/_/...

I don't think the difference in what he gets elsewhere vs here is as high as you make it out to be. Is he that much better than Goga Bitadze (UFA)? What's going to get? iHarts 2 year 8m per contract? Jacob Poetl? ($17.5 AAV felt like a slight overpay). Mason Plumlee is a step back, but probably signs for about $5mm somewhere.

The OKC nonsense is click bait. No one is putting Jalen Williams' 7.3 Winshares on the bench behind Chet Holmgren for Isaiah Hartenstein. And, OKC has the draft capital to pick up any other remotely available backup C they want. They could just absorb Zach Collins.

Isaiah Hartenstein is very good for the Knicks, but I don't think he is plug and play everywhere else. I am not worried about magical $20mm per offers like what happened to Bruce Brown or Dillon Brooks last offseason. I don't see it.

With Rokas coming to "Try out" Culver will be a long shot. That and perhaps draft will yield players with more upside. He has to deliver right away.
Hope he makes it and defies. at 25 years old and not established its a tough road. He has made 18mil in his career so we can't feel too bad but one can still root for him to succed as a knick.

I remember him in college as being a rhythm player in college, but he was skinny and had subpar athleticism. If you're Luka or RJ, to a lesser extent, you can make up for a lack of explosion with strength and touch. Culver didn't have any of those things to fall back on. Maybe he was able to reinvent his game after a couple years?

I can see why Thibs might be intrigued.

I just want to see us add someone to the roster taller than 6’6”. Sometimes you need to match up size with size and that’s not a dick joke

If you think in terms of wingspan instead of height we are actually pretty good. If the average wingspan to height comparison is about +2", most of our guys are +4" and up. Body size matters on the block, but wingspan matters pretty much everywhere else. Tyrannosaurus Brunson bringing up the rear.

Mitch 7'4 (+4)
Sims 7'3 (+5)
iHart 7'2 (+2)
OG 7'2 (+8!!!!)
Achiuwa 7'0 (+6)
Randle 6'11 (+3)
Bogs 6'11 (+4)
Burks 6'10 (+4)
jHart 6'9 (+5)
Deuce 6'8.75 (+7!!!!)
DDV 6'6 (+2)
Brunson 6'3.5 (+1.5)

It's to bad head size isn't a metric, Brunson would lead the league! Heck if they called a foul every time Brunson got slapped in the head we'd lead the league in free throw attempts. Great info on wingspan.

Using the Indian series as an example, we didn't match up well against Siakam and Turner. Josh Hart and Achiewa could not do anything to match up against them and both are plus defenders. Granted this was without Randle and Robinson.

Brunson is a bowling ball knocking over pins. He gives as good as he takes in the paint. You see him pounding the defender with his body. Tough mofo.

Matchup against Siakam and Turner without Mitch Robinson, Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Bogdonovic. I mean, not looking for excuses, but if your 5th man in the big man rotation doesn't matchup to an All Star and former DPOY combo? Aciuwa was Siakams backup

If you’re bringing Bogey to to defend Siakam or Turner it’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Sorry, that’s all I got😁 if we’re at full strength I truly believe we have a different outcome. It’s just that OG and Mitch haven’t proven to be reliably durable yet

He made the vet minimum last season, so I doubt he'll come here for too much of a discount.Especially if he isn't given an opportunity to start and increase his value. How much do you think it would take?

Seems like a good kid and needs another chance. HOpe he can make good on it.
If so he is an asset. If not, no cost.

Rosas is only 46, impressive title resume. Was under Morey in Houston, Go the GM in Dallas but lasted only 3 months and went back to Rockets for 6 more years. "disagreement with management". Not sure if it was him or the shit show that was that front office. Eventually Cuban had to clean house.

Rosas first Latin American to be a NBA GM.

We know Rosas ascended to be president of Wolves until his passion for someone besides his wife derailed his career. Not cool, but not quite Isiah Thomas territory either. Those were some fucked up years in MSG.

Rosas is a talent and part of Leon's group.

I'm down with adding Culver (good catch on the Rosas connection).

I was always a fan of Culver and surprised he flamed out --- he's a 6'7" - 6'8" wing who I would think would be better in a pinch than our end of bench guys.

I've always been an Oubre fan over the years even as most have consistently knocked him for both on/off court stuff.

Some guys I just like the way they move on the court and he's got a long NBA body with good mobility.

He really impressed me the way he defended Brunson and he's versatile enough to play some 2 (with size) and 3. He's 6'6" in socks with 7'3" wingspan.

He seemed to know/play his role well in Philly --- I would take him here in right situation - especially if Thibs is a fan.

Good ? --- probably a good portion or all of the MLE given his playoff performance. Though as noted he was on a vet min deal last year which was weird and he out played that deal obviously. He doesn't turn 29 until December and his body looks fine in terms of he could just be entering his prime years.

At a minimum he doesn't hurt our D and he's outstanding OG insurance who at the same time I would think would fit nicely with the rest of our squad.

Stated in another post I've always been a fan --- maybe more cosmetically as I like the movement/body-type and long arms.

I agree with you. Some of the headcase commentary gave me pause, but haven’t really seen much other than the car crash.

I agree with you. Some of the headcase commentary gave me pause, but haven’t really seen much other than the car crash.


Outside of his driving, whether car or bike, I don't think he has a history of getting into trouble.Je is a talker though on and off, the court. I wouldn't mind him for the right price.

I just noticed we have good contracts and will be cash strapped but theCeltics are about to have the 2 largest contracts in NBA history and 2 other players making like 30mil a year plus the rest of their team.

What could we offer Oubre, the non tax payer MLE? Is it 8.6M?
