Knicks still...

[eaglesnut]

Someone explain to me how this is a blockbuster trade?

Because the Sixers wanted him and the Sixers are important.

It's newsworthy as it seems the Knicks did something right. Moving off of RJ Barrett was a great move by itself IMO.

Absolutely…

But, it’s same ole same ole set up to do what now?

Dejounte I assume? I haven't read any Knicks rumors, but Atlanta might be moving him. He would fit better with Brunson than he does with Trey, but I still think he needs the ball in his hands more than I would be willing to take from Brunson. Not sure who the Knicks could give up to match the $18ishM he's making this year that makes sense? Moving Randle just moves the hole from SG to PF. I don't think the Hawks are giving up on the season just yet, so Fournier's "expiring" contract (more or less non-guaranteed next year) may not be of interest. I guess it would be Josh Hart and ?

If the Knicks could get Derozan without giving up too much besides draft picks, I think he give them a snipers chance at the title. I know they wouldn't and shouldn't be the favorites, but if he got hot at playoff time, he gives them a chance. WIthout him, they are most likely a 2nd round exit, maybe first. I know he's old, but He still is playing at a high level, and I believe he's got two more really good years in him. Sports is supposed to be fun, I say they go for it.

Well, they have to give up roughly $25M or more in matching salary. I doubt Fournier is going to move the needle for the Bulls (they will definitely get better offers unless the Knicks overpay with picks).

What would it take?

He's old and makes almost $30M, not a good trade target for the Knicks

 

[Pastafazul]

Package Randall Robinson and Fournier for , Devin Booker

That would be amazing.

For the Knicks.

Takes 2 teams to make a deal though.

Thibs would HATE Booker IMO

Oh, it isn’t a good fit. With Brunson either.

Just talking value.

Knicks are really competing…

Picked up some real ballers

Not playing the best teams , it don’t matter.

These guys are playing for time! Every one of these guys are leaving it on the court. Picking up for each other.

I haven’t watched this much Knick ball since the Ewing years.

Go Knicks

They're playing great, but I'd be afraid of Thibs burning these guys out with too many minutes (as he does).

Agree , but if he has them all healthy at same time, could be very interesting.

The chemistry is really incredible, they won’t win it all, but they will make you earn it.

Like minded players make it easier. Defensive and effort minded in multiple spots now.

Yep , and it’s a beautiful thing to watch

But like you said, will they have the legs come post season?

No wonder you wanted Thibbs fired last season or the season before. You're just a part-time "fan".

Part time ?

I would say, no time fan.

I tuned in and out so fast I made the road runner look slow
