2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

The Knicks should be scouring the market for distressed assets. Young players that have failed to live up to expectations…

Too bad the jazz have stripped the team of any such assets, except for everyone's favorite Dante, who is overpaid, injury plagued, and low skilled.

If we can flip Dante for any player with an expiring contract that’s a win... Portis is actually a solid backup big which is even better... they’d be stupid to do it... they are stupid so they might. We need like one great flash from Dante... just one please... might be enough.

When do we play NY? Get Dolan to fall in love with Exum the same way LHM fell in love with Amaechi.

We need to start rumors that Dante is in to blues music and plays a mean (insert blues instrument here)… I mean in a backup role not a lead harmonica. Maybe that he has connections to a lot of IG models or something... I don't think Dolan cares about basketball as much as JD and the Straight Shots.

It feels like the stars are aligning for this, honestly. Portis has not been good, New York is a disaster, and a writer there specifically suggested grabbing Dante.

I mostly like Portis because of his stretchability and ability to play the 4 or 5. How bad is he on defense though? The Wiz were terrible last year. The Knicks are terrible this year.

We're on the same page. Cy swears he is god awful but I can't really say. I guess I have irrational hopes for him since he's always played in completely dysfunctional environments and I think he's the type where he just turns up what's happening around him, including the suck.

He's pretty bad... slow footed and doesn't protect the rim. He might try harder in a better environment. Mudiay has been world's better than he was in the past. Portis has some tools but he could be Kanteresque in the playoffs. He would do good things for us offensively though.

Agreed. He reminds me of Flavor Flav. Had he been with some ********, Flave would’ve crashed and burned like a loser. Instead, he was with Chuck D, and it brought the best out of him, Flave only really crashing and burning when Public Enemy was no longer relevant.

Plus Portis wanted to play for us this past summer, maybe like in a Mudiay way, knowing we can get the best out of him.
 
Two of Augustin/Ross/Aminu for Exum and Davis would solve a lot of our problems. Not sure if we can even trade for Aminu or how long he’ll be out (I see indefinitely online) but getting two legit basketball players like them would be nice.
