Ironically, the Knicks may be playing too good for their own good right now, so trading off bodies makes sense. Most of the players pushing them toward a few wins won't be around next year, so it isn't as if the wins are helping them "grow." Payton, Gibson, Bullock and Ellington were a combined +29 on Thursday. The rest of the team was a combines -27.
Who in that group is going to be retained? I guess maybe Payton, who has improved as he got further away from his injury. Link - ( New Window )

why would you not bring back payton, gibson and bullock?

Bullock will be retained if for no other reason than his cap number is cheap next year which could make him an attractive trade chip.
"In Thursday’s deal with the Clippers, the Knicks didn’t want to take on rookies Terance Mann and Mfiondu Kabengel in exchange for Marcus Morris because they didn’t want to immediately waive players. That indicates the Knicks either wanted to keep the veterans for leadership or prefer to save money in a buyout scenario."
Not sure what to make of that. I know Greg on LI was in favor of getting Kabengel and he seems like a player the Knicks could have used in a rebuild.

picks are always more valuablr then young potential players, Knicks are trying to accumalate as many assets as they can for a trade..
a future first will always be morr valued by teams
Payton is a good nba point guard when he’s healthy. And he’s definitely healthy right now. Did we finally find a point guard? I don’t think the Knicks need to go all in on this guy but Payton is playing himself into future plans with these performances. No way in hell am I letting him go anywhere this offseason.

portis and ellington definitely gone
Portis is so annoying to watch. Just a dumb player.
in the right situation surrounded by shooters. He knows how to run the offense, get in the paint and get the ball to everyone in the right spots. Obviously we don't have th shooters now but I'd keep him and try and add shooters in the off season. Obviously if we can draft an elite PG we do it and /or sign a guy like VanVleet but Elfie can be a part of this team next year.
Miller’s competent coaching, is there ARE pieces here. Payton has a role, Bullock could too.. For this team to get anywhere several things HAVE to happen
1. R.J. HAS to develop into a legit #2 or 3 on a championship team.
2. Robinson and Knox news to develop into viable young rotation players
3. MOST importantly- they have to find #1. The bonafide star to lead the franchise.

I think knicks trade for a star this offseason to pair with barrett then sign another in 2021..

buying a player out is usually a favor to the agent, plus you get him to waive the 1 million guaranteed for next year

let everyone else walk.
Wes and rose were with strickland at the temple game today
Or just not playing him and holding onto him does the same.
Can we buy out Ellington in between quarters?
Two quick fouls for Mitch. Can’t even stay out of foul trouble off the bench. Time to learn how to play basketball, big fella.

and people will still complain he is not starting
Teams usually give up on players after 2 years
let everyone else walk.
At the time, it was reported that had team options for next year. But Hoopshype shows them with guaranteed contracts for next year
Anyone know the real story?

1 million guaranteed
he is to slow to make subs and leaves players in to long..
my only complaint, no reason Mitch should still be on the bench and portis should be in the game
for some reason he has never stuck anywhere, always got looks but never stuck
i am keeping payton, bullock, gibson and harkless..
portis and ellington definitely gone
and yet he can completely control the game with his playmaking, for a guy who cant shoot he knows how to get into the paint and create..
he runs the offense lerfectly and doesnt turn the ball over..
Knicks better hurry uo and finalize leonrose as president before Dolan rehires Mills

Barrett becomes your number 3 next to 2 stars
Miller calls timeout - Knox singlehandedly facilitating a Hawks comeback
agree.
