I can see that. Whats going to take this team to the next level is a TRUE offensive engine. Jalen has a ceiling in how far he can take us being option 1. Ingram could be that but it’s just as likely he falls behind Brunson in the pecking order too. Hypothetically, if we get Mikal, what’s your move to catapult this team into contention? Julius for KAT or AD?
The way I’ve always seen the “first option” thing is who can get a bucket in the half court down the stretch. By that criteria you’d be hard pressed to name many guys ahead of Brunson which is why he ranks so high in things like scoring in the isolation play type and scoring gravity.

Brunson would prove himself better in those situations over Ingram. I don't think KAT or AD makes us favorites out the conference or anything and both complicate things with Mitch. The best pairing with Brunson are guys like Luka, LeBron, Giannis which we aren't going to get. Depending on how we gel with Mikal and I think we'd gel really well even with Randle we could be a dominant regular season team and sleeper. NBA is wide open right now.

Mikael really wants to be a Knick
:russ:
First step is he would have to bum it up on the nets to the point Ben Simmons would look at him with disgust.

:scust:

Only at that point would the Nets trade him directly to NY. Basically he would have to be seen as a bad contract for it to happen.

Nets would do it, if we come up off the picks.

:lupe: How many do you think? Because I would assume to ignore that this would help the Knicks it would have to be something egregious
For the 2 hours it looked like he was available the talk was 4 firsts since OG’s asking price was 3.

Why would they give a fukk?

Now that they’re rebuilding their main focus will be accumulating draft capital.

The same reason they wouldn’t trade KD to NY. If Mikal looks like the last piece they aren’t going to help the Knicks. Same reason they sent Kyrie to the Mavs instead of the Lakers for two first round picks. shyt look at all the bullshyt the Nets have done to earn a rep in NY. You can’t deny they see the Knicks as rivals.

That is a lot for Mikal. I would assume the Knicks would just be sending over guys not in the rotation. shyt that is a lot for Mikal.
