I'd say last year was the only year Zach was untradeable, and that was because the Bulls looked terrible, he was playing hurt and looked bad.

Prior to last year, this wasn't the case at all. There were reports and Laker fans open to trading AD for LaVine in 2022.

ZACH BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS ONE TIME
IN HIS CAREER WHEN
DEMAR TOOK OVER THE TEAM.

THIS ISNT SOME 23 YR OLD.

THEY AINT FOOLING NOBODY
AT THIS STAGE IN THE GAME.

:devil:

Would thibs push the knicks head office for a trade based around some sort of package including bridges or McBride ,:sas2:


McBride X haporkti and future picks and pieces
Or bridges X haporkti and picks X pieces
for Jimmy

Since most teams know he would bounce in the off season , kant see to many teams wanting to give up to much for a rental

But if Jimmy helps the Knicks grab a ring :patrice:

@KnickstapeCity x @Peter Popoff
I don't see Bridges leaving since he's part of Villanova.

It will hurt us but Mitchell Robinson, Duece and future picks is probably what Miami would want.

Mitch hasn't been healthy but it would hurt us on bigs. Cam could potentially be Brunsons backup.

Honestly, I would trade Cam, Toppin, Robinson and picks because Duece is young and has a higher ceiling plus he plays both ends of the court more efficiently.

Butler doesn't show up in the regular season so, he would cover for that.

I dunno man, that's a tough one.

@storyteller, @Wargames, @g-ice, @Anerdyblackguy, what you think? Yay or nay ⏸️.

for Jimmy?

How?
Granted.
i do not know administratively how things work. As fsr as making a trade in the nba currently. As far as understanding the salary cap requirements etc.
twolves could package up gobert and Randle for butler and bam.

Which would make the twolves back into.
an immediate post season title threat. No matter the seed position. With a new ownership group for butler. Plus, the wolves get. The exact type of guy.
the wolves think Randle could potentially be in butler. As well as a real nba talent level big in bam. For the fraud dpoy style big in gobert. Where the structure for Randle. Should calm all that oc hooper shyt.
Randle needs cut out his game. from a disciplined structured organization style culture.
that Riley can work with in Miami.

the 2nd apron prevents teams from aggregating salaries. In other words, I can't trade 2 people together. I also can't take $1 more back in salary in a deal. That takes teams like Milwaukee out of it unless they have a perfect matching salary for Jimmy who is making $49 mil.

because if there's anything that will guarantee the Knicks won't win shyt, it's reuniting Butler and Towns.

We need competition against Boston but also I don't see Miami trading him to any team in the East. Would be nasty work if he went to Memphis or OKC.

Touché but also they've matured from their Minnesota days. If anything, they may have that Mamba mentality to show up..... you're right though, if I was the Knicks, I wouldn't do it. It's greedy and could hurt us, i.e., James Harden.

The danger of a Butler trade is that it's a rental. After this season, he's got the player option, which is probably his last chance to get a big yearly payout. Meanwhile, we're JUST below the second apron right now, so

So, I wouldn't be enthusiastic about giving up multiple picks for him. I agree about Deuce, because he's a sixth man on an amazing contract. Plus, I'm not sure our biggest need is another wing. Bridges, OG, and Hart is enough. So, if we part with assets, I'd want an additional big man who preferably plays some defense.

Jimmy is impossible to trade for. You would have to trade Mikal, Deuce, Kolek and Robinson to just match salaries and there’s no reason to do that for a 35 year old Josh hart with colored hair and an ego complex.

It’s not happening
