Who are those teams with better packages than New York?
Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I know that everyone is psyched over the picks, but I am starting to warm up to the actual players received, especially those from the Cavs deal.
The players are what really pushes this deal over the top in our favor.

I am so, so, so very happy with how this happened.
Dumb cocky freshfaces from CAA thought they could go up against an OG and corner him into a bad trade.
Danny has lost trades before, and made bad moves -- but you don't beat Ainge on a trade with bullying.
Poverty franchise learning this lesson the hard way. Absolutely devastating result for the Knicks brass-- ignore the fans & their copium, this is absolutely an abject failure for a franchise that has very publicly prepared for the opportunity to bring Mitchell back to NY for several years.
At the end of the day, they got too cocky; the double whammy is them signing a thoroughly mid player to over 30 million a year; the triple whammy is having ****** vets tied to back contracts, and needing to send assets to clear them & play their youth; quadruple whammy is them trading away a lottery pick for cap room that's not getting used.
I'm going to give it two years before Leon Rose gets canned. That's why we are seeing unprecedented damage control -- Leon knows how bad the music is going to get in 6 months. Y'all, I cannot *wait* to see the talking heads eviscerate the Knicks throughout this coming season. It'll probably be the most satisfying plot line in the NBA next year.
I'm glad Donovan is gone, and I wish Rudy the very best.

No , Conley deserved it that year. He was an insanely efficient advanced stats player that year.
You can’t lay this all at the feet of Knicks brass. There was a MSG security officer from a temp agency who was running the phones that day. Besides, Rose already offered Patrick Ewing, Adam Sandler and the Carnegie Deli back in June.

He's apparently an "incredible team-builder". Strange that a guy with his rep has to do so much damage control.

Than what New York was offering? Cleveland, Orlando, Washington, Toronto, and maybe Miami. These were all known at the time.

The Knicks are still whining saying Ainge didn't give them a fair shake. WTF?
The hell with them...
