"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[ISO]

It's unlikely, but the NY media push around Ivey makes me think there's real smoke in them trying to make a play for him. I just don't know what that even looks like. Trading to 7 and crossing their fingers for Ivey but settling for Mathurin makes the most sense to me for this conservative FO. They don't take big shots and seem to set serious boundaries on how much they're willing to give up/pay to get the guys they want.

I’m with this 100% as long as we’re able to keep Quickley and Toppin.

The Mathurin one was the most interesting one to me, Davis is the second most interesting

Trade that scumbag Randle pls
For my own sanity

 

[23Barrettcity]

Randle for Jerami Grant and reroute him and our pick to the Kings for 4?

It seems like that trade only benefits us lol but I’d take it

What makes this one particularly interesting is that it's the most enthusiasm that I've heard from the Knicks FO for a player since Obi. The rumors around the Obi pick is that they had lined up a deal to move up if need be, but after gauging the rest of the league decided to stay put. They've been really active in moving a few spaces up or down as needed and outside of missing on Maxey, they've had a really good grasp on where they could get the guys they want since Rose, Aller, and WWW took form.

I think they might be able to do that Blazers trade. They have a competitive package. It depends on what Atlanta is willing to give considering they are in the Ayton hunt too. Also if whoever they want is even still there at 7.

I definitely think they are going to make that Philly Trade if Philly is down with taking Burks. Their cap situation is a mess so the Knicks might have to take on salary.

I think we’re going to look back in bewilderment that Paolo dropped to three in this draft in a few years.

 

[Wargames]

Idk if we even need this now, but honestly who knows that the FO is thinking. It could be the best move.

Kings about to get Jerami Grant for just moving back one spot in the draft and I’m sick. What a fukking wack ass franchise that constantly gets blessed.
