2020 NBA trade deadline discussion

Wow!! I had no clue he was on the wolves.

The dude has been around (Wolves are his 5th team) and he's still only 24.

I like Vonleh... he’s a center in today’s game. Mudiay for Vonleh makes sense for both teams once Conley is back.

He has a midrange shot which is intriguing. It's fallen well some seasons. He could play either position.

I'm not going to pretend the guy would come in and average double figures in limited minutes but he'd be able to guard guys like Ingram much better than Royce which makes me want to trade for him (noone can expect Royce to guard a 6'7 guy who has a 7'3 wingspan. One can't blame Royce as he's not Inspector Gadget).

Ingram would smoke him... He's had some good moments against Giannis in the past. He's thick and long arms and can move fairly well... but Ingram would absolutely blow past him.

Honestly I don't know why we don't give Morgan a try at the 5... kinda similar build to Vonleh or similar idea but Morgan has a better shot at becoming a shooter imo.

Guys like Ingram and KD that are so long and move well and can shoot are basically impossible... you just kinda hope they miss in the midrange and you want to make them work.

Somebody start the Vonleh thread. Mudiay for Vonleh. Then figure out how to swing Davis for Bjelica.

He's someone that has been in bad development environments and has gotten better... I think we could do something with him... I was shocked he didn't get a bigger deal and ended up in Minny.

We need ….Someone like Noah Vonleh.

Somebody start the Vonleh thread.

Well done. Some "we want Vonleh" posts. Kudos to you.

That guy was a solid player for us. We didn't have much to believe in, but we trusted him. He would come of the bench and he always seemed to do the right thing. Every team can use a guy like Vonleh (except the Knicks for some reason).

@Handlogten's Heros you’re up on the Vonleh thread duties.

If @MeloTheJazzKiller is in on him then I may need to reconsider.

I listed 20 dudes last night I’d rather have. Didn’t even out Vonleh on the list. I feel like Jay from Clerks when he’s talking to Silent Bob. “I’ll **** anything that moves!” Except instead of **** I’d say trade for anything that moves.

Would you like me to list all the ex-Knicks who did brilliantly elsewhere? Here's just some current ones:

Robin Lopez
Trevor Ariza
Jamal Crawford
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Enes Kanter
Matt Barnes
Zach Randolph
Porzingis
Carmelo Anthony

We are the league's farm system. No need for a D-League team, just use the Knicks.

just do Ed Davis. Conley isn’t a model of health. If he went down again, we’ll need Mudiay.

So the guy that has the same problems fouling and protecting the rim but also ****s up the whole offense. I’m not opposed to going back to it but only after trying Morgan there and striking out at the deadline and missing out on buyout dudes.
