Grimes is out for tomorrow's game. Just end his season. It's not worth the risk

WHO'S Portland giving up that matches salary ?

Randle for Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, (both expiring) and the Knicks swap their pick for the Pelican's one and maybe take their second-rounder


That is not a crazy trade. It would give the Knicks around 75 Million in cap space pre RJ and Cams cap holds of 44 mil. Basically, they would have $31 Mil in cap space before they sign them. Not a great FA but that is legit money.

It wouldn’t in the NBA today anyone can be traded it’s not like he’s one of these guys making 30M+ a year.

He’s malcontent for that reason alone you just can’t bring him back there is no next season his relationship with the organization, teammates, and fans is broken.

A lot of teams still see an above average power forward that was an All-Star a year ago still in his prime years who could potentially ball out in a different situation or be a stop gap for a treadmill team.

Portland is a fit. I’m sure plenty of inside NBA people see Julius as talented, as a “dog”, see him as a victim stuck in a bad situation with ungrateful fans, see him as a guy who “turned” the Knicks around, probably plenty of people who can excuse his play this year, or point to his raw box score to portray him as a good player still.

Also see that he’s miscast as a top guy and think he’d pair better with a clear star who would dominate the ball. Portland would legitimately be a good spot for him.

Don’t really have to match salary in the off season. Portland created ALOT of cap space for themselves trading Norm and CJ.

We can hope. Free agency isn’t that great and what other trades are out there for them to improve the roster around Dame? Randle can be the mini Draymond that Dame has always needed.

If Donovan can’t win with the jazz who have a better roster than us. What makes him or knicks fans think he can win with us? Especially if we gut our roster for him.

He’s a number 2 at best. I don’t mind trading for him, but we can’t gut our roster for him.
