Source says #Knicks have put a Hezonja offer on table for portion of mid-level for one year as he mulls options
i would assume if knicks sign him they trade lee soon after...
frank thjr hezonja knox kanter...
chuck and duck, a lot of spacing alos give uo 150 points lol
Hopefully, get his salary off of the books by trading him for an expiring and a pick or young player. Losing Lee will cost us a few games too, better for the lottery
Kawhi a complimentary piece when he has already won a title, finals mvp, and was without question the best player on that team just makes you look like a complete fool.
Its not an opinion that he is more than a complimentary piece, its a fact. It cant ne debated. He has already proven that he can be the best player on a title team.
The guy is a headcase, missed an entire season for a grade 1-2 quad injury/deliberately sat out which is even worse and hasn't carried a team to a finals since Duncan departure
yes overrated. Outside of Paul George, he is the first name that comes to mind.

They have a real shot of pulling off a Lebron/ Kawhi/ Embiid/ Simmons big 4. I think putting a good shooter like Reddick as the 5th guy negates any concerns about Simmons lack of shooting.
If they want they can offer a better package than the Lakers unless the Spurs view Ingram as a cant miss prospect. But Philly
Could offer some combination or all of Saric/ Covington/ Fultz/ Zhaire Amith/ Miami 2021 pick. And I think getting Kawhi is really like getting the combo of Lebron and Kawhi. I dont see Lebron saying no to playing with that 3 plus supporting cast.
What would his other option be? The Lakers with all those young guys? Back to Cleveland ?

When healthy...I wonder about Kawhi's thigh injury which sideline him most of the season and think it's worse than what is being let on (possibly a career-threatining issue as tendinopathy could be degenerative)

I think he just wants to pin point a reason to get out of San Antonio other than "I dont like being in San Antonio, this team has no shot against the power houses of the league and I hate being attribute as a system player". He played just fine and shut himself down after a few games.
Certainly makes you appreciate his "quiet hero" personality a lot less but the dudes a top 5 player no if ands or buts.

You dont actually know why he didnt come back yet are calling him a head case anyway. Ron Artest was a headcase, sounds reasonable to compare the two...
It is certainly fair to question how healthy Kawhi is,
but overrated? Hes one of the 5 best players in the NBA. Philly isnt trading Simmons for Kawhi without Kawhi signing an extension, and even then, Im not sure they do it.
The Knicks have reportedly reached out to unrestricted free agent Amir Johnson.
Johnson could help backup the center spot in New York, but he wouldn't have any value in fantasy hoops.

I honestly think Simmons for Kawhi makes a lot of sense even
IMO the biggest problem with LBJ to Philly is Simmons is not a good fit. Kawhi is a way better fit. LBJ/Kawhi/Embiid is a terrible match up for GS. They would get killed on the boards and those 3 are all first team NBA defense caliber players.
I don't think SA gets a better offer than Simmons + Miami 1st rounder either.
See is Mario is legit, if so its good for 2 reasons, 1 you can package him in a trade at deadline to offload Lee for expirings or 2 its anothwr young plywe that you have added to the mix. Additionally you dont want to sign anyone to a deal past 1 year. Oquinn is great locker room guy who is still developing and is again another piece that can be traded at deadline to a contender even if its for a second rounder its worth it.
I really think you and many others overstate this need to unload lee. Lee could be traded on his own without any added chips in my opinion. Hes making chump change compared to virtually every other vet going. And he can play both ends of the floor.
Just because the Knicks didnt deal lee last season doesnt mean they couldnt deal him.
HE is what he is at this point, which is a pretty good power forward. Pretty good defender, pretty good rebounder and can sneak in 10 points a game. Hes also good for 1-2 boneheaded inexcusable mistakes every single game.

The Knicks and Hezonja close out a tough recruitment, where several teams -- including Portland, Sacramento and Memphis -- competed for a fifth overall pick from the 2015 NBA Draft. Hezonja was drawn to coach David Fizdale, after going thru several coaching changes in Orlando.
Adrian Wojnarowski
For Hezonja and KNICKS, it's a one-year, $6.5M deal, sources tell ESPN. He'll have a real opportunity to create some traction for his career with the Knicks.
Yes. Yes I think they are. Smart moves, with a clear plan and an idea about what to do in the years to come. I don't know what to say. It's nothing something you are used to.
in the aftermath of the Lebron signing, but I think it's a nice job by the Knicks. Orlando doesn't develop talent - look at how Oladipo flourished after leaving there. Tobias Harris, too. Mario started 30 games or so last season and averaged about 15ppg on 37% from deep. There's more upside there. He and KP are close friends, too.
That guy on Twitter who clearly has a source close to Courtney Lee (Jesus Rodriguez?) said this signing makes a Lee trade much more likely. Also cuts into Lance's minutes. Could be a win all around.
Not just his reps, LeBron too. They are also in heavy talks to trade for Kawhi.

lebron will nkt be ther
Holy shit,that wont end well.
I'd love for a Lebron, but trading Saric for Leonard is nuts. Leanord seems like a head case.
Reddick would be great for under 15mil/year. Tyreke Evans as the 6th man.
Covington blows.

Some of 5ese sixers trades are nuts?
Trading Simmons? The whole reason for a big 3 w lebron? Leonard is at best a complimentary piece. Most overrated player in NBA.

for Kawhi and a future 1st rounder, LeBron to Philly. It makes too much sense

I question whether or not you have ever watched Kawhi actually play.
Simmons cant shoot, at all. They would be far better off woth Kawhi and LeBron than they would LeBron and Simmons.
I dont see how a LeBron/Embiid/Kawhi team loses assuming no injuries

Lol. Wut???
Best defender in the NBA. Excellent shooter. Can play every position. Yep totally overrated.
Now if you said Harden or Westbrook....then you would be onto something.
yes overrated. Outside of Paul George, he is the first name that comes to mind.

Everyone said PG13 would be a one year rental too. And the 76ers with Kawhi and LBJ have way more upside than OKC.
