McDaniels deal is a really solid piece of business for Minny. They will move KAT in the next 12 months or so to balance the books.

I watched a fair amount of Minny last year, but I must be doing it wrong. I just never saw what others seem to see in McDaniels. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I see the potential….but as far as his game right now (or last season at least) I’m right there with ya. Think most are one step ahead on him, but he can change that really quick.

Next time you watch just watch him defend. He gets after it. He's mostly just solid on offense but it comes without the ball... he's developing into the perfect role player.
 
Now @KqWIN things get dicey for NY and IQ. Curious to see how big the delta was but now its hard for IQ to accept the bench role or reduced playing time in a very crowded backcourt/wing rotation. Now all the money they have handed out to others starts to look a bit cumbersome. If IQ gets the big offer are they matching now? Is that a better trade asset than whatever they could get for him now?

No idea how interested or if we are interested... but it just got a little bit interesting as for NY to retain the "asset" it might mean trading IQ for draft comp or a player under cost control.

They give us a fair trade deal now or we **** them in free agency. This is definitely not a “match everything” situation for NYK. Real risk of losing him. I hate to even say the forbidden L word but the Knicks do not have it here.

Could even front load it to make it a bit more of an issue for them the next couple years. Going into the tax makes it harder to make a star trade... which is why they keep kicking stuff down the road. Quickley has an expiration date now... sell by trade deadline or risk being bullied into a corner.

He's really good on stars. I think he probably got a bit overpaid because I just don't trust him offensively. Don't think he's really good enough as a 3rd scorer

Yup….and besides injuries I expect Quickley to get less minutes than last year. He sounds like a good soldier, but less minutes means he will become more unhappy and his trade value will also become less. They are negging their own guy. If NYK wants the most value they should do it as soon as they can….and if they don’t they are going to get pushed around in RFA.
