Haven't seen enough of him to make any confident comments. I hear really good things about how skillful he is and I've seen some highlights of him posterizing dudes which was unexpected.

It was one of many, MANY bad moves. This whole conversation is also ignoring Melo was about to be free agent that Summer. To put it into perspective the whole time melo was here those picks turned in Jamal Murray. As for the players we seen Gallo is still a useful piece and Wilson was a good player until 2017. The trade didn’t ruin the Knicks but it did limit them that things like misusing the amnesty screwed them.
I find it really interesting as we hear these trade rumors people are forgetting how being to focused on getting a star player limited the team later.
I just heard he’s been the team captain of his men’s pro team in Croatia since he was 17. He won’t turn 19 until November. He’d make a nice Obi replacement if he’s traded too.

I ain’t going to lie I wish the Knicks traded up for Franz Wagner. That white boy has slight chance to be a bigger Gordon Hayward, and his realistic floor is young Otto Porter. He’s a Europlayer, but he is not.
It’d probably have to be 21, 22 swap, 23, 24 swap, 25, 26 swap and 27. We’d only be negative 2 picks but the 25 and 27 picks would be the only valuable ones to the blazers.
Edit: i think this is what the Blazers would ask for on top of wanting RJ too.

I'd still include Randle in a trade over Obi if it's for a star point guard better than him. I'd package him with Knox, Frank and however many picks they need.
Randle and RJ play the same game and are strongest at their left. Need someone ambidextrous, can score and playmake.

I get it. But you’d need to trade Randle for someone else to play with Dame. Which isn’t feasible if we’re going to give it all to get Dame in the first place. If you’re the Knicks, you can only trade Randle for someone of Kat or Embiid’s caliber.

But in today's league it's harder to find a good point guard than wings/bigs. Bullock, Burk, RJ, Quickley, Toppin would all thrive off Dame. We can still get Duncan Robinson or a decent stretch for low which is why I would throw Randle away asap at the opportunity and build off the youth we have.
Looking at Hawks game, Young was giving everyone touches and opportunities to score. We need more of a point guard that can do that than a dominant point forward that plays like RJ. Bully ball is not the way when you have too many bullies with the same game on the lineup.
Y’all know I’m a frank fan but I hope frank busts dames ass at the Olympics so the blazers can be like

What yall think about Kai Jones at 21 if we don't trade down?

I am numb to the rumors
Let’s keep talking the Melo years at least that is debatable. Hope it’s for Franz Wagner though
