NFT: Knicks Mock Offseason

Jon in NYC : 5/24/2017 4:37 am

I can't sleep, so here we are.

1. Draft Frank Ntilikina, Tony Bradley, Dwayne Bacon

2. 3 way trade:

LAC Gets Carmelo Anthony
Minnesota Gets Kyle OQuinn, Jamal Crawford, 2020 1st from LAC
NYK Gets Ricky Rubio, Austin Rivers, 2022 1st from LAC

3. Knicks Sign PJ Tucker: 3 years, 40M

Roster Next Season:

C. Willy/Noah/Bradley
PF. KP/Lance
SF: Tucker/Kuz/Bacon
SG: Lee/Rivers
PG: Rubio/Frank/Baker

With Rubio and Tucker, it's a completely different defensive team with a new mentality. Tucker's contract expires with Lee, Rivers and Noah in 3 years, and the Knicks will have a strong young core at that point with plenty of money to spend. In the meantime, we have a fiercely competitive squad that's fun to root for and will play hard every night. KP becomes the focal point, go to scorer, and face of the franchise.

don't see Monk with the Kings at all. They have Hield already. Hield may not be a future superstar but he is 23 years old, just went 6th overall and with the Kings put up 15 and 4 with 2 assists on 48% from the field, 43% from 3. Makes absolutely no sense taking Monk who may have higher upside but is a similar overall player (scorer with "okay" secondary skills) and Hield is "only" 6'5 but has 6'9 1/4 wingspan, Monk is 6'3 with 6'7 wingspan. Kings are morons so who knows but that seems highly unlikely.

everyone killed Vlade for the boogies deal but how many teams would prefer Boogie and a $200m contract coming or the 5th pick the 10th pick and Hield?

Isaac may have a terrific ceiling, but is he a good match?

If he is the one left of the top 8, I wonder whether the Knicks try to trade down with a team that needs an Isaac-style player and go for the European or Donovan Mitchell, if they can get to the very top of the second round for their second pick. Might require third team in the trade, but from what I can tell, there will be some valuable talent at the top of round 2. Perhaps another European, like Kuruks.

This only applies, mind you, if the last top 8 player left is Isaac. He has mad skills that someone will crave, but I don't think he is what the Knicks need, by a long shot. They need a PG and some physical talent at the 2. If someone sneaks into the top 7, like Markkanen or Isaac, none of this applies.

Give me the top 13 player in the NBA who is only 27 over a bunch of guys who most likely won't be in the NBA in 5 years anytime.
