NFT: Knicks Thread - trade discussion

Anyone here any rumblings around potential Knicks trades. Cleveland clearly needs some help. Here is a proposal I would offer:

Cavs Get
Lee
Thomas
Beasley
Oquinn



Knicks get
Shump - 1 year less on contract than Lee
Frye - Expiring contract
Osman - young guy very cheap contract locked up for 2 more years.

Knicks Get swap rights with Nets pick this year. Could be nothing major but at least we theoretically will have 2 longshot chances at top 3 pick. Swap rights with Cavs 2020 pick and then Cavs throw in a 2nd rounder from 2020-2022. Or instead of a swap option on Cavs pick I would take a 2021 protected 1st from Cavs

Knocks free up cap space, get a younger guy in osman and get some interesting draft pick option. I think they have to get creative like this, I don’t think any of there guys have much value but packaging a few together could get some value. Cleveland does not really need Thomas but oquinn, Lee Beasley can all be useful players for them and are def upgrades over frye and shump.

Another option I like is

Knicks get
Stanley Johnson
Ish Smith - 1 year less on contract than Thomas

Pistons get
Oquinn
Lance Thomas
Beasley
Jack

I am also a fan of Rodney Hood, but I am not sure we have what it takes to get him and not sure what kind of contract he will Command in the offseason. If you can get him for hernangomez I think you do it. He would be a restricted free agent at 25 years old and not many teams will have a lot of cap space. Maybe a 4 year $40-$50 million gets it done. I think the upside here could be big, plus I think he is already an above average defender who can get better as he gets stronger. I would also trade Bulls 2nd rd pick but don’t think that will be enough
