Knicks need a centerpiece in a Donovan trade, and Barrett isn't it. Sharpe or Ivey could have been though.

Exactly. Let's say NY sends 4 1st rounders. More than likely all are out of the top 10. What a waste for Don.

They could throw in Barrett, but that's no guarantee for success either and doesn't help with Rudy. We would still have to blow it up and only have #10 or later picks to trade.

Thats not great.

Are you guys fried? Barrett is more than enough for being a centerpiece of a Donovan deal. He’s 21 and averaged 20 PPG this year lmao.

Even the 4 or 5 firsts is pretty good… I mean based on track record 3 or 4 will be lotto picks and with flatter odds we are seeing teams jump up every other year or so… what if Donovan gets hurt one year… now you landed a very nice pick.

Hell NO got a top 8 pick from a team that had Lebron and AD… you telling me Donovan and RJ are gonna be a perennial no brainer playoff team every year? RJ still might suck… he’s had one good shooting year in empty arenas. I love when we assume these teams will be great forever and forget that in the nba **** happens… hell Boston made the damn eastern conference finals betting against a team being good for a long time.

If we moved Donovan for 3+ unprotected picks from NY I can basically guarantee we come out ahead.

I honestly wasn’t joking. Did we miss out on a 1st because of playoff outcomes thus far?

It was going to convey to Memphis unless we were picking in the top seven I believe.

We will also have no picks in 2024 as we gave it to OKC to jettison Favors. Our cupboard is bare.
 
I think Sacramento uses 4 to trade back with Indiana or Detroit. I think Ivey is a great fit with both of those teams and a totally ****** fit with Sacramento. Since Sharpe is a mystery I think Ivey has to be #4. Would Detroit do Grant and 5 for Barnes and 4? Maybe they move Barnes for other stuff in a separate deal... or Grant and 5 for Holmes, #4, and filler. Fox, Grant, Barnes, Sabonis is a solid start to a potential play in team.

Indiana would be mostly draft capital.

I could see Sacramento just taking Murray or Ivey (and using him incorrectly)

Great... now everyone gonna get wise to the fact that Williams should go ahead of Duren.

Guy has amazing size, good athleticism, is coordinated, has great hands... and might have shooting potential. I think he is a sure fire, no doubt, top 12ish center.

If they want the next Mutombo. I get it, he's going to be good. He does look like Mutombo at Georgetown, and probably a bit more fluid.

The rumor is that the Kings' owner Ranadive gave the front office a mandate to make the playoffs. This is why they appear to be open to moving the pick. They should probably just keep the pick and take Sharpe or Murray, but if a homerun trade (like Donovan) showed up, I think they'd take it.

If Danny Ainge wants to run the draft, he could trade Gobert right at the beginning, get picks and offer picks and players to move around. For example, Jazz can get pick #13 or #16 and offer it with a player to move to #7. Jazz could offer #7 and a player to move up to #4. Etc. Jazz gain more flexibility if they trade Gobert for a package of players that other teams would take in subsequent trades.

The pivot points in the draft are the Kings at #4 and Blazers at #7 because they could be convinced to move their picks or trade back to get a win-now player.

More fluid mutombo with good hands and free throw shooting? Yeah I’ll take that.

I don’t think that is the comp… but I see him as more complete than Duren and worst case will be excellent in a narrow but important role. If he steps out and shoots the three or a consistent 15-18 footer he could be an all star.
