A Murray/Reddish backcourt is kind of intriguing too

Shouldn’t take RJ. Who the fukk did the Bucks send to NO for Jrue Holiday. It should take 3-4 firsts/Swaps an expiring and a young player.

The trade for Holiday included George hill and Eric Bledsoe plus 2 first round picks and 2 pick swaps.

To translate that for us it would be Burks (George hill), Nerlens Noel (Eric Bledsoe) plus picks.

 

[Wargames]

Yes, and he’s at his best 10 feet in.

Yes. I don’t see Barrett ever being as good as Dejounte Murray. The playmaking and finishing gap between RJ and Dejounte would take years for Barrett to close (and that’s if it ever closes)

Then there’s the sizable gap on the defensive end.

Teams hate our players, I always keep that in mind when I come up with hypothetical trades. I can't think of another one that'd be as enticing, and I'mma confess, I'm in the camp that would rather keep Obi and IQ over RJ, so I didn't throw them in there ( I'd trade one or the other though).

It was a four teamer though. So NO got picks and Steven Adams. That’s why i think you’d have to throw in Grimes.

Bro fukk it

Bro fukk it

The spurs would turn RJ into a mini Kawhi in 2 years.

Reddish ain’t it respectfully

Ain’t no way we’re gonna be stuck paying so much to a core of
Brunson, RJ and Randle

That might not even be enough for the play in

"The contract isn't that bad, the cap keeps rising"

"We gotta spend the money anyways"

Please don't spend this money on some mid. Trade pennies on the dollar. Take the loss and reset. Get some assets and work on your youngins. Please.

If we don't make some serious changes in approach, a year from now we can realistically have around 100 mil in long term salary tied to Randle, Fournier, Brunson, Mitch and RJ.

@ikbm, I know this ain't what you want bruh.

Come on over to my side. I saved you a seat nikka.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Reddish ain’t it respectfully

Talent is there but something is missing with breh admittedly.

Breh you were just complaining they aren't aggressive enough. Breaking bread is being aggressive, overpaying with the chance he can live up to or outplay is contract is taking a calculated risk. Maybe we get saddled with a bad contract and he flops but we gotta pay to play right? We HAVE been too tepid up until now, but you're not just conjuring up a good move out of nowhere, you're sacrificing something along the way and no one wants our players; GM's ain't jumping out of their seats to watch RJ crash into the paint and shyt.

Be real, you're not mad at the Knicks not being aggressive, you're just mad they can't fleece anybody lol. Which is fine, but the Billy Kings of the NBA are gone for the most part.
