Knicks did what I wanted to do by not using any of the first-round picks but adding depth pieces. But they also got a much better deal out of it than I'd expected. Bojan can really score the ball, and Burks knows the system. Randle's post-ups are among the best plays in the league at generating good looks, and both those guys can capitalize.
All the spacing issues are a thing of the past. Plus, Bojan's contract is partially guaranteed for next season but fits the price range of what the FO wanted for salary matching in a star trade (19 million, so just slightly below the 20-25 they were aiming for).
This FO deserves a ton of credit, because most of their moves are forward-looking. The Donte deal made it obvious that they'd consolidate soon. The OG trade gave them a player worth paying next season. This deal with Detroit does a bunch of things around the margins that New York needed for the present AND the offseason.
One more note: By dumping the 12th men, NY just opened up space to do the second part of my wishlist. That's to wait for waiver FAs and strengthen the depth roles with ring-chasing vets. Now they have the roster space AND they've got room under the 1st apron to pull in a player or two.
and him volunteering to help Cam deal with Ben Simmons....
