I want Randle off the team. Give the keys to RJ.

Keys to Brunson but I agree.

Much more, as they should, especially if we're not coming off RJ, Toppin or IQ.

We have 11 picks. Outside of coupling them with Randle or Fournier, I have no idea what the benefit of having those picks are if we're just going to continue to use them to trade back or out out the draft or not use it on talent that will make the team better, simply because other teams' asking price are perceived to be ridiculous.

If we don't use them to move Randle and Fournier, all we've done this off season is move a few moveable, buyers remorse contracts from last year for a position of need in point guard, (that wouldn't have been a need had we drafted a real point guard in any of the 2-3 loaded guard drafts prior to this one) and signed a stretch 5.

Not exactly the active off season presented, and not the active off season needed for a team who's alleged star player quit on us last year.

I don't disagree with any of that fam. They accumulated a bunch of picks and youth that they definitely need to turn into a clear path by the time RJ signs his extension. But the window to make use of all the assets isn't closed yet, and Ainge is a gm that's known for asking for way too much in trades.

I wonder if we can trade Randle for bridges now that we know he's a wife beater?

Would y’all trade IQ to get KD? Randle, Fournier, IQ and all 4 protected firsts.

Yes, easily.

That's a trash trade why would the Nets do that
Nets would surely want Barrett in any KD deal to the Knicks (I don't think they would trade him to the Knicks)

Just a hypothetical. If nobody offers anything significant and KD decides he wants to stay in NY for his business or something.

I personally don’t think they’re going to get the all time haul they think they are gonna get. Everyone is lowballing them and rightfully so. Plus, that rookie designation rule is kicking they ass because of Ben Simmons.

No.

@DPresidential might be time for new thread title

 

[Tim Dripcan]

I want Evan Fournier go or come off the bench. Are we still looking to move him? I don’t want to see another season with him & Randle together

Any trade suitors out there? What would it take to move him? @storyteller

Brunson growing up a Knicks fan makes it even sweeter

Money Makin' Mitch back
