You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

[NUMBERICA]

Also, how great will it be if the Knicks traded Porzingis for all this capspace only to end up with jack ****? I don’t have a reason to hate the Knicks except for their absolutely obnoxious fan-base that think the world owes them everything and that every player is dying to play for a perpetual loser.

They have some good young talent and a different vibe than the Knicks. He might have someone coming with him, but they needed to clear a little space anyway to sign one max guy... now they get a decent young wing and their hand may not be forced with Russell.

If they have Kyrie, Harris, LeVert, Prince, Allen... plus Dinwiddie and get a couple mid tier guys after renouncing Russell then that's solid.

Is he looking to go somewhere that's just solid tho?

 

[David Stern]

I think Tobias goes to Brooklyn with Kyrie.

 

[Ron Mexico]

I would prefer D-Lo to Dinwiddie. I think he is a much better shooter, younger, and more upside. I like Dinwiddie but I think we need a better 3 point shooter next to Donovan. Almost every advanced stat also shows D-Lo as being better and is 3 years younger.

Honestly I think I prefer D-Lo to Harris. I think its a bigger position of need and harder to fill. Finding a stretch 4 is easy. Plus we already have Crowder who was pretty solid at that position. But I would be happy with any of the 3 I guess. We also have Royce who can play some 4. But there are lots of cheap PFs that can fill in as well. Mirotic might be too expensive but he would be a great pickup for us. But Thaddeus Young, JaMychal Green, Mike Scott(could also be backup Center as well), Jabari, or even Dante Cunningham could all be solid cheap pickups at that position. Oh, plus we have Niang that I think is improving.

Maybe... He's got a championship... not all guys are just about RINGZZZZZZ. He's different.

I think they are after KD... Looking at Brooklyn's ownership/management and surrounding talent... better than what the Knicks have for sure.

Kyrie, LeVert, KD, Harris, Allen with Dinwiddie and Prince off the bench... plus intriguing guys like Kurucs, Musa (meh) and picks 27 and 31.

Knicks have Robinson, DSJ, Knox? I guess you have the 3rd pick but guys like Kyrie and KD are going to look at that like whatevs… guessing RJ barrett doesn't excite them.

Even if it was Jimmy in KD's spot that is a potential EC team for sure.

 

[Miggs]

They can push up the date or wait to consummate the trade until after July 6... the trade Brooklyn just made can't be completed until July 6.

I never wait to consummate.

Ever.

They would need an upgrade at center. Or Allen would have to take a major defensive leap.

Given their contract situations I'd prefer Dinwiddie... would have to trade something for him so factor that in... buy Dinwiddie is a more efficient scorer at this point... Harris would be way better than D-Lo imo… I understand your argument with the 4 being easier to cover. If you signed Harris I think you could cover pg duties with DM, Ingles, Harris... use Royce at the other wing spot and be damn good.

I think this is good for us no matter what.

Consummate as soon as you can and as often as you can.

 

[Eminence]

Well, that likely means BRK isn't bring back Russell. Hope we go for it. He's not perfect but he's already good and still young enough to expect real growth going forwards.

 

[David Stern]

I would assume that Donovan Mitchell would give us the edge over Indiana or Dallas for D-Lo. It seems like they're actually pretty good friends.

I'm imagining that D-Lo/Mitchell could pretty easily turn into a McCollum/Dame-esque backcourt. With Gobert, that's a contending team.

KD ain't going to the Knicks alone... Kyrie to the Nets throws a really interesting kink into the thinking on how things would go this offseason. Kyrie and KD kinda make more sense in Brooklyn... would be all the big market fun without the intense Knicks scrutiny... also no James Dolan. No MSG I guess would be a downer.
