Listened to Fred Katz on the Knicks Film School Podcast... mentioned they already have a minutes issue. If the Donte deal happens they have like 2 too many rotation players. He was also asked if he though IQ was more likely to be traded before season, in season, or end the year on the team. He said end the year on the team but didn't deny a pre-season deal potential. Seemed like a 30/70 type of thing. Said he doubts he'd be moved in season which makes sense to me.

I think IQ/JC backcourt is kinda interesting. If it was like Sexton and an unprotected pick for Evan/IQ and the Washington pick they own that is more likely to be a couple good second rounders... I think that would help them keep the powder dry while having some interesting salary matching. Just think a crowded backcourt with a guy in a contract year like IQ would become a Cam Reddish situation they want to avoid.

If he ends the year on the Knicks it just means they will get less or nothing in return in RFA. If I’m the Jazz I’d be willing to pay a reasonable price to get him now and if I’m Quickley I don’t want my minutes squeezed right before free agency.

But we can wait I guess.
 
Getting D'Lo at 13 million is pretty tempting.

Terrible locker-room guy, but that's a value deal. You can probably flip him at the deadline if things arent working out or Sexton/THT/George have shown they are better at running the team.
 
I would hate acquiring DLo at any price... I just would. One year deal isn't that tradeable. The market has spoken... inefficient gunners that are assholes behind the scenes aren't super valuable. Let the Lakers keep him on the cheap.

Kinda like this for the Kings. I'm sure its a second round pick or two. They should have like 15M in space but not sure if they just do a Sabonis extension with that or try and sign someone. Duarte should be able to get back to the player he was as a rookie and be a solid rotation piece on the cheap.

The Knicks aren't trading firsts. I think that has been established at this point. They are loading up for a Doncic Sweepstakes is the rumor. We may have a bidding war for him if Dallas decides to release him.
