You could have one second round pick. His value wasn't going up with more playing time. Teams saw him play last year, they saw him play in limited minutes this year. They know his limitations and his strengths.

It's more likely Willy ends up back in Spain in two years than being more than a third center on a team.
Willy  
TyreeHelmet : 2/7/2018 3:22 pm : link
Everyone is well aware of his flaws if you watch him play. However he still has positives- why do you think he got 1st team all rookie? He's not as good as Kanter, but is he 16 million dollars worse? Because he's locked in at 1.8 mill until 2020. Even if hes your 4th or 5th big, thats insane value- one of the only smart things Jackson did.

So what was the point of this? Hope you hit gold and one of those 2nds becomes a good player 6 years from now?

Terrible trade. You need to maximize your assets and the Knicks continue to do the opposite.
He's not going back to Spain. He can absolutely play in the NBA.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 2/7/2018 3:22 pm : link
He averages a double-double over 36 minutes and that's with barely any NBA experience. Not sure why anyone would frame it like he's some scrub.

It's insane to suggest that a 2nd year player can't improve. He was a rookie last year. I'm trying to understand your angle and I just don't get it. Lets assume you are right and the risk was losing a 2nd round pick, they are better off taking the risk that he improves his value and they lose 1 of those 2nd rounders.

Having said all that, it's pointless to discuss further if you think he's maxed out on his ability after his successful rookie season.

Except he's not good enough to get on the court for 36 minutes a game.

Also those second round picks could end up having more trade value than Willy, or even sold for cash which can be used to make salary match in a trade.
Lee

Windhorst on the Jump said he spoke to a GM last night about the Knicks selling off assets like Courtney Lee. GM said they can move them but won't be getting value back because of his contract. So much for that...

Hornacek's rotations? We can poke holes in that all day long. Just because the coach isn't playing him doesn't make it the right decision.

It's indicative of his ability. Which means positioning him as a fringe NBA player or someone who should go to Europe is nonsense. In the judgement of Hornacek he's not good enough, Hornacek also thinks Jack IS good enough. Let's consider that.

The Knicks wanted the 2nd round picks. Perry said they didn't have picks in '20 and '21

yeah, because they traded them to get Wily! This whole move reeks of Mills caving to pressure from the agent.

His ceiling isn't much higher than his current game. He's not athletic enough to suddenly become a very good defender, or play the four. He lacks basketball IQ, turns the ball over and doesn't move well vertically. He's never going to be a guy who stretches the floor. He's at best an average basketball player who doesn't have minutes to play once KP moves to the five.

I'll play revisionist. Imagine hiring Thibs 2 years ago, drafting Mitchell, and not having the contracts of Noah/ Lee/ Baker/ Thomas/ Hardaway.

You'd be left with 2 potential superstars under 23 years old with about 70 million in cap space going into an offseason with Lebron and Paul George very attainable. One can dream...

On this site, we all liked Mitchell, but the clamoring was about Denis Smith Jr and Malik Monk.

likely makes the market a little better for Lee.
I tried to make some sense of the trade from the Knicks perspective,  
JustaDiscussion : 2/7/2018 3:57 pm : link
then they went ahead and cut the guy they traded for. This makes it much harder to understand their vision. I thought I had a sense of what they were trying to do, I didn't really agree with it, but I thought I understood it. Now it just seems like they are winging it... I hope the next 24hrs proves different.

D Mitchell  
GMEN46 : 2/7/2018 4:04 pm : link
Metroman those stats are not even needed, you look at Mitchell and you see current and future superstar, the numbers are just gravy on the actual player. He is an absolute stud on every level. But according to many on this site, Frank will get more athletic and develop a better handle as he gets older and can still be better than Mitchell. As I said before the draft passing on D Mitchell would be a huge setback for this franchise, I try not to boast too much about my Mitchell call, but Metroman keeps feeding me. I remember people calling me some idiot who just watched some youtube dunks on Mitchell and I had no idea what i was talking about. I watched many of Mitchell's games and I watched Frank play in only a handful of games, but Mitchell had the it factor when you watched him. Frank does not. Knicks are already talking about moving him to off guard, because why? He doesnt have the quickness or handle to be a NBA PG. One way to fix this, which I have been saying for quite some time. Is to have him work on his post up game ala Mark Jackson and he can actually use his size and length to run point guard sets out of the post. Lets see if the Knicks will find a coach competent enough to figure this out. When KP is healthy have him standing face up between foul line and 3 point line and Frank should be able to post and score or kick to KP for open jumpers or pump fake drive and pull ups or dunks. Pretty simple concept.
I admittedly wasn't impressed with Mitchell pre-draft  
Greg from LI : 2/7/2018 4:07 pm : link
Maybe it's because the majority of the games I watched him play were Louisville-UVA games, and we have owned that team for years, but I never saw a guy who stood out as NBA star material.

While I agree Windhorst is a moron, Lee does not have one of the better contracts in the league. 12.5 mill per for a player going to be 33 in October isn't ideal. Especially on this team.
Courtney Lee  
Pete44 : 2/7/2018 4:12 pm : link
We are going to all explode when the Knicks get a couple of 2nd rounders for Courtney Lee, but I don't see them getting much more for him.

The teams interested don't really have 1st rounders to deal.

Also, Rodney Hood will be more highly coveted.

Lee has one of the better contracts on the Knicks.
While not grossly overpaid like most Knick free agents signings over the years, Lee's deal is still a tight squeeze given market conditions. Lou Williams just signed an extension for less than the MLE.
Lee is the 22nd

If trading Courtney Lee for second rounders  
bceagle05 : 2/7/2018 4:17 pm : link

Unlike the Willy deal - the Knicks would be saving $25M over the next 2 years if they trade Lee for 2nd rounders. The Knicks saved all of $2.8M in dealing Willy for 2nd rounders - big difference.

Yeah, such a "Knicksy" thing to do. I guess it's possible there's zero trade market for O'Quinn, but if you can get anything for him, you do it and keep Willy for the time being.

They obviously do not think highly of him. I think Ill go with their judgment rather than the wishful thinking of a bunch of posters on B.B.I

There is also a discipline question. Guys are starting to act up. You have to quelch that shit ASAP.Willy is a back up. Hell probably wont of theNBA in five years.

Playing him quite possibly could reduce his value: Two seconds is a fine return, Move on. Its minor move

Hornacek hasn't done anything to show he's got a handle on this. The lineups he's played this year make no sense at times. The things he's said about players who perform well don't mesh with them disappearing from the rotation the very next game.

It shouldn't matter what they think of him. What matters is the value in return for a player that was a first team all-rookie last year. It is bad business. It is even poorer business if they did it out of emotion.

That's not wishful thinking by posters, it is a logical plan. You sell an asset for as much as you can, and if you can't get value, you keep him until you can.

31southst : 2/7/2018 9:39 pm : link
Dont love the trade but dont hate it either. A point Pelton made is if KP is a center long term, particularly if hes even a bit less mobile post injury, then it puts a ceiling on Willys roll here. The goal with the trade is to get a player as good as WH at a non-C position.
Vanzetti,  
Keith : 2/7/2018 9:45 pm : link
Besides the value aspect of it, you are acting like:

A. Coaches and/or GMs are 100% correct in their personnel decisions. Theyre not, more specifically, Hornacek has proven that to be untrue. Not sure Id hang my hat on PT decisions that he makes.

B. We dont have a whole season of WH against NBA teams in game action to refer back to. Id put a little more value in that rather than practice. In fact, every other team looks at that when judging his value. Last year he showed a lot of promise and if we tried to trade him last off-season, Id bet we could have gotten more than what we just got. We got nothing because hes been glued to the bench.
All I care about is getting deals done  
nygiants16 : 2/7/2018 9:50 pm : link
For Lee and oquinn tomorrow, no reason they should be on this team past thursday..

Also no reason for jack to start let Frank and burke man the position with jack being a vet leader to them...

If Lee is still here he should not be starting...

I'd like to see kornwt and hicks get some minutes and see what we got...

Also Xavier rathan Mayes should be brought up, been dominating since burke was brought up

He wasn't eligible to be traded until December 15th. His "little slump/injury thingy" started before that. You should stick to not knowing what you're talking about on football threads instead of spreading it to other topics.
