Sacramento getting Sabonis closed the door on Randle to Sacramento.

logically sure, but the kings are the kings.
would you be surprised if they did something stupid like that?

I would in this case, They'd have a bad AND expensive team. That's the worst place to be.

and they're stupidly desperate to get into a play-in. They may not do something stupid like a julius trade...but they already moved on haliburton in a very idiotic manner...........and they realize this roster isnt enough. they're gonna make another dumb move and I'm counting on it.

 

[Typical Knicks Fan]

Not knowing when to fold with haunt this franchise. Now we have pipe dreams about players we have no shot in getting. Just draft the best player available at 11 and don’t worry about trades.

Guys that worked for us have raved about how the Knicks have the most competitive work out

I'm bored and news is slow...here's Jonathon Givony predicting the Knicks trade up for Ivey.



I included someone's random trade proposal just because it kinda gets at how complicated it'd probably be to pull off a move up. i really don't know what kinda value 15 and the Mavs pick will have. Keeping Reddish and swinging on 11 and 15 after clearing out Kemba, Burks, and Noel wouldn't be so bad.

No matter what happens they are going to force Cuban to pay a hell of a lot.

It would probably be the 11th, Dallas 1st and a combination of either Cam & Obi or a Cam & Quickley.

Sad to see Cam possibly go. I really have high hopes for him.

I don’t think the Knicks are moving up to four.

I don’t think they want to trade IQ or Cam.

7 feels more attainable to me for sure. But the Kings are such an unpredictable franchise that I think anything's on the table with that group.

Also, Rick Brunson officially got added to the coaching staff. I know the Jalen Brunson narrative is gonna pick up with the move, but Rick Brunson has hella history with Thibs and the organization so this was a no-brainer with or without Jalen Brunson involved. I doubt it'll be treated that way when the Mavs re-sign Jalen though.

I honestly think Leon is doing Brunson favor by making this market extended market for him. Jalen earned a really good contract, but the Knicks talking about getting him could add a few more $Mil off of principle.

If you can trade Cam and the pick to move up and get Ivey you do it

Cam and 11 isn't getting it done. Neither is Cam, 11, and the Mavs pick. Cam and 3 first-round picks is a lot depending on what prospects slip.

That makes a lot of sense.

Get our guy it’s that simple I don’t care who slips if that’s what it takes so be it.

Blazers is weird now that we hear they are getting new ownership. It looks a lot like they are willing to trade the pick but maybe ownership wants something else… they are moving suspect
