The part most people are missing though is that none of those teams can trade another first rounder in those years without removing the protections on the picks we have first, and Detroit and Washington and desperate, mid market teams in win now mode. 5 years is a long time to not trade another first.....
I could be wrong, but i think they know they can get Brunson. Connections aside, most of free agency around the league is already being wrapped up as we speak.The knicks are in win now mode so these future could be 1st round picks don't make sense...if they don't make the playoffs this year i don't see how Thibs keeps his job.
Let's be real here...they did this to get rid of Kemba to clear space to sign Brunson whom by all accounts might stay in Dallas...Knicks are just going to have to straight up outbid the mavs for him...
I thought I could finally come out the closest as a knicks stan...but not with them making moves like this...guessing i'm closing the door again and only making appearances in the knicks thread when they playing the spurs![]()
