Here is the news of the day:
1) Hawks eying Docnic with the #3 pick
2) Mavs/Grizzlies talking trade for #4 pick, as only player to meet with the Grizzlies has been Wendell Carter Jr
3) Kevin Knox and Kentucky PG rising
4) Nets to acquire Dwight Howard for Mozgov to create 2 max salary slots in 2019. Dwight Howard finally comes to New Jersey
5) Leonard met with Pop last night in LA to try to salvage things, but Leonard still livid at Tony Parker and Pop
6) Knicks playing in London next season as Knicks beat writers have not written anything of value regarding the draft. In my opinion, I think the Knicks are going to take Kevin Knox unless Porter or Carter drops.
Who says no? Shreds 12 mil of Cap for the Griz a year from now + improves their team. Knicks fuck themselves for 2019, but have a chance at Luka, who is a gamechanger.
didnt i say this a week ago and you told me it was awful

Lee, Lance, 9 for Parsons, 4.

you said why woukd memphis do this and called lee useless
Get it done Perry. I'm sure party boy Parsons is rooting hard for this. BTW he's still a decent player when he can get on the court.

Lee is useless. He's salary filler.

Replacing THJR is a near wash from a talent standpoint, Parsons is older and injury prone but not necessarily a worse player - I think THJR is young enough were tangible improvements in 3 point shooting or passing could make him into a good player. But I think ideally both are coming off the bench on a good team.
And i think it would be a bad trade for Memphis still, not sure what the extra salary would do for them in the long run.

Why do we as Knicks fans care if this is a good or bad trade from MEM's perspective lol. I think its a bad trade for them, that's exactly why I would do it.

i did the very next post
Having said that, I wouldn't trade a future first or Ntilikina to move up.
The league isnt getting smaller. Big players are just more athletic and less stationary. Durant and dozens more are forwards trapped in a centers body.
Additionally I dont trust the Knicks office to make a good trade. In order for them to trade us Parsons we have to give them back contracts match Parsons amount. We cannot be a salary dump team for them unless Kanter opts in today and they get his expiring. We need to match Parsons Salary of $25 million. Lets say we match the $25 million with Mudiay and Baker expirings, Lee and Thomas. All this does is save them about $10-$12 million in 2019 offseason. Thats not that big of a deal. Knicks would certainly have to offer a future first and probably a couple of seconds to move up in that scenario. This is not worth it. Just stay the course and pick the BPA.

The idea isnt to dump Parsons for cap space. They want players who can contribute. Theyre locked into Conley and Gasol with few assets/picks and want to win now. Its stupid but its what their reported plan is
Lee is not worse than Parsons. Lee would start for Memphis and Parsons can't stay on the floor.
Hes got such 2 way potential. Bombas Frame scares me, their arent a lot of guys that have succeeded with that frame.

🚨Trade/Draft Update
🔘Sixers considered trading Markelle Fultz, the No. 10 Pick, and the No. 26 Pick in the draft for a Top 5 Pick to select Michael Porter Jr.
🔘Bucks willing to move down from No. 17 if team is willing to take on Dellavedovas contract
(Via Athletic, Ringer).
This makes sense. I thought for some odd reason they'd let him play. That would not have been justifiable.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Spurs "are willing listeners on Kawhi Leonard trade proposals."
We still don't much about how the meeting between coach Gregg Popovich and Leonard went, but this could be an indication that the two-way superstar still wants to move on. Wojnarowski adds that the Spurs "haven't been proactive in chasing down offers," but they are doing their due diligence in case the right offer comes along. Even though the Lakers are reportedly his preferred destination, they haven't had any dialogue with the Spurs yet.

Where do you see that? The most recent Lowe podcast I see was the one with Windhorst and Rachel Nichols, did you mean that one and not Woj?
Windhorst has mentioned 51% to LA, 40% Cleveland, 9% Philly.
He has a different personality, introverted and shy... and bailed on Western Kentucy, when something happened with his relative, UNC's Shammond Williams and their coaching staff... he left and it caused M.Robinson to leave as well. Odd, but part of intrigue with this pick.
Personally, he's a small gamble on getting a Cappella type at the 4/5.
They've got Lonzo!

I watched his interview (Robinson's) and he came off as really quiet and shy. I hope they can coach him up. I felt kind of bat for the kid how awkward he seemed but I guess I'm just used to the hyper polished kids we now see in sports.
after the ibterview rob pelinka did i really hope the lakers strike out...
I'm not sure what Lonzo is worth at this point. I can't see a team giving up anything that could become a lotto pick. So a good teams first rounder?
