It’s due diligence. You are not obligated to accept a trade to hear what’s out there. If a gm makes a dumb offer, you take it. Think danny ainge when he traded back for Tatum.

our scenario is nothing like the Celtics they had the 1 pick and traded back to 3 knowing they could get who they wanted . Also now the league is not trading unprotected picks . So there is no need to do any due diligence unless they really believe some other player is the best player in the draft. Those picks will only be good for trafing in the future or bench players .
Screaming A out here hating on Baker the shot maker.@KnickstapeCity did you see they mentioned zima
chick thought melo was better than lebron.

if the Knicks would consider this, what it says is that they like Reddish, but don't have it in them to take him at 3, because any trade back I think is with him in mind.
This picture is dope

@KnickstapeCity did you see they mentioned zima
:philjacksonlol2:It can’t be my girl Zema. She was a Laker fan or some shyt.
:philjacksonlol2: It’s one of the Knicks brehs from here, who just has a
voice that’s why they’re like 
and didn’t say nothing once nikkas on the internet let them jokes fly.:philjacksonlol2: I bet it’s homie who’s every time Ron is mentioned is like, “
Ron Maker the shotmaker.”:philjacksonlol2: Is that my nikka @Ironman or he only has a crush on Dotson? I remember for the longest, breh would be like, “
Dotson!!! 
“ cause my nikka Dot was getting no playing time.:philjacksonlol2: Matter fact, nikkas, I think I got it. I bet it’s my favorite White boy @Shogun - he do sound like he work as an assistant branch manager at Chase or something like that.

The most smoke is around Reddish but they've worked out a few others in the same range and there have been rumors about some other prospects (most notably Culver). It's also something I think just fits the Perry/Mills style. They were thorough as hell in the coaching search and had gauged the market for KP well ahead of his demand (Bondy was on it but no one believed it bc of his constant trolling).

The Celtics knew they wanted Tatum and they knew that he could be had a couple of spots later in the draft. They set a value for their pick, asked teams in the Tatum range (3-5) if they'd pay and got themselves additional value plus the player they liked. If the Knicks feel some type of way about a Reddish or a Culver; then they should set a high value. I'm talking about a drastically high value; the type that Masai Ujiri would demand or Darrell Morey where we say "that's ridiculous" until some dopey GM stumbles into paying (usually the Knicks GM). Set that value and go fishing. You're right that the most likely scenario is all of these teams say "hell no" but make them say it anyway. At the end of the day you either end up with Barrett or you end up with a player this Knicks scouting team liked just as much as him AND some kind of compensation on top of it.

This makes a lot of sense. there are teams that want that 3rd pick. make them pay how much they want it.

I think its due diligence. You don't start looking to plan potential trades with teams after RJ has come in to work out. That's a red flag that something is wrong. You have to do all that work prior and then if RJ isn't it that's cool teams assume you made this deal off of wanting their assets and not based on having no faith in the asset you are giving up.
They did this with the KP trade. If they had tried to do that deal after KP asked to be moved it would have taken longer, and there is good chance him demanding a trade would have got out thus lessening the Knicks trade standing.

Thus an AD situation. We handled it well especially considering the fact that KP was throwing subliminals on Twitter. Enes Kanter was just weird as shyt. I'm glad they're both gone. Hardaway and Burke handled it well.

Exactly the AD situation is toxic.
On the flip moving #3 for #8 and #10 is unprecedented. Add to it that this is almost universally considered a weak draft and I doubt it even more. Something else would have to come back in that trade, or their is another team in play. Though to be honest, not a lot of teams have assets to trade into the top #3.
Maybe the Lakers or Bulls if they attached their pick with one of their young players or a future pick.
Then again with cap space being a premium for the Knicks trying to keep their youth and have 2 max spaces. A Bulls #7 pick and maybe their 2020 1st unprotected....... could also be a legit option. That's also exactly where I would expect Cam to be drafted too at #7. Plus RJ would be great for the Bulls long term, but as a young team, I don't see them making it to the playoffs.
I still hope we take RJ but there are options if the knicks are looking.
Maybe we can get Cam Reddish and Bol Bol at 8 and 10

Again this is nothing like the Celtics they went from 1-3 knowing they wanted Tatum and the sixers wanted fultz and lonzo was gojng to LA and therefore for a fact that Tatum would be there ( especially since they were thought to take Jackson . I understand the ideas your saying but there is zero actual scenarios that make sense in training our pick we’d be trading down much further and have no guarantee of anything . Even if Chicago or PHX offered us a gang of picks with the new system it’s a crap shoot . We need to Just take the best player
