Who gets cut ? Who gets traded
First thoughts on cuts
Sessions
Kooz
Beasley
Thoughts on a trade
Do Not Trade KOQ. Way to valuable He’s the key to the second team
Lee could have a lot of trade value with the way he’s been playing
And I think McDermott is the better player and Dotson is ready to burst on the scene. Both of them could easily replace Lee
Will the Knicks actually think about trading Willy?
Any thoughts on what’s going to happen by 5pm today?
He actually played well last night which was nice to see.
Why in the world would you cut a guy who's been a regular in the rotation over a guy who's played about 2 minutes all season in Kuz? There's zero chance of that happening.
It's 90% chance that Kuz is getting cut/traded....10% chance it's Sessions.
I generally agree with this, but if Kanter and KOQ are all of a sudden building blocks, Willy and Lee should be able to net them a nice piece to add to the core. Jabari would be an ideal fit imo.

Cut someone but don't trade anyone unless it's germain to future building and logical. Knicks don't have to trade anyone. And that includes lee. If a deal comes along that makes sense fine. Until then zip it.

I think Lee is playing his best ball right now and would not trade him. He really fits with this team.
Willy looked really bad last night and you can see why he is out of the rotation. If he keeps putting up those performances he won't have much value.
Kuz is a 10-minute rotation guy on a bad team. Cut him and never look back.
My big piece is how do you get Dotson more minutes?

You get Dotson more minutes by trading Lee.
Lee is 32. Willy, THJR, KP, Frank, Dotson, Baker, McD, Kanter all 25 or under. The timelines just don't match up.

We have enough other players at his position who deserve looks to see if they are part of the team going forward.

Just because he has played more minutes doesn’t mean he is an improvement. We are a better team on both ends when he doesn’t play. He also prevents McDermott and Dotson from getting minutes

Eventually someone will get hurt or fall into a slump.
Jack has not proven he can stay healthy and they don’t want to be down to Baker and Frank at PG

And fuck Noah

I’d call up Burke to replace Sessions anyway.

Agree with this post...which is also why Noah can contribute. Never going to be worth his contract, but if he can muster up 15-20 minutes of good defense when we play tough bigs it would ease the burden on KP
I'm rooting for Noah getting hurt, and hopefully retiring and insurance picks up his contract. Fingers crossed...
Yeah, I didn't get why there was so much discussion about who was getting cut when it was extremely obvious all along.

“This is my rookie. This is my team. This is my organization. I cannot just let [James] disrespect [Ntilikina] like that,” Kanter said. “Frank’s doing an unbelievable job. Every day he’s working really hard.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s LeBron or whoever it is, I cannot just let him disrespect him like that. The coaches, the GMs, the president, this organization knows what they’re doing. That’s why I was pissed he said that.
“Come on. That’s a rookie. You cannot just say anything like that about him.
“I know LeBron is a really good guy … but why Knicks? There were like [seven] ahead of them.”

Like every Knicks fan, I wish they had never signed him. But rooting for a guy to have a career ending injury is low class.

Yeah if you find yourself rooting for someone to get a serious injury you have issues.
