NFT: Knicks considered awful deal at deadline

is alarming.

.

2022 salary isn't even fully guaranteed so the Hornets dump Monk and pick up the superior contract.. AND get a first. Seems about right.

Leon needs to take a flamethrower to that front office, but I fear he won't.

He should keep whoever was the voice of reason that killed the idea of that trade.

truly don't understand how Monk has been this bad. Shooting in particular?

Everything else could get you this

Agreed the first is where you lose me. I can see Rozier/Monk for Randle/DSJ although I don't love it.

I am guessing this was a Mills deal as the reporting seems to suggest part of this motivation was Randle and Morris not fitting well together. Given Mills seemed to be the person driving the not trading but resigning Morris bandwagon, it seems plausible this would work in tandem with that

no handle to separate from a defender, no size to play 2 guard to shoot of a bigger guard, and horrible defender...

also he was a streak shooter in college too. Very JR Smith like. He wasn't a knock down shooter. HE could make 3 or 4 in a row and sometimes heavily contested but he was never a sniper that you couldn't leave open.

still shot 40% from 3 in college and 82% from the line. As a pro...32% from 3 (28% this season)

the first rounder we'd be sending out I still wouldn't do that deal. I get it that DSJ is basically a negative asset at this point, but I'm not taking on 2/38 of Rozier. I'd rather just wait out Randle's deal for one more year and take my lumps with Frank/Payton at PG. As Mike Lombardi would say, you acquire Rozier and you still need a point guard!

Would you agree w the following coaching projected likelihood? If not, how would you forecast it, a greater % to Thibs?

Thibs 60%
Calipari 15%
Miller 10%
Either Van Gundy 5%
Becky Hammon 5%
Write-In Candidate (field) 5%

but I think Thibs is a lock.

Considered could mean any range of things. I think, because we all view NYK as incompetent (rightly so), we are assuming they pushed for this trade.

im really hoping for something different from Rose. We dont need the big name. That list is just classic knicks. Look i like JVG whether he jumped ship or not (can we blame him). But even him id be happy for nostalgic reason. The guy hasnt coached in forever. His brother stinks. Calipari is a better recruiter then coach so thats not going to end well. I like Hammond but she will be taking on an incredible task as the first female head coach and she sure as shit should not do it in this cluster fuck of an organization. People will be like "look a woman cant coach" despite the fact the last what 10 male coaches sucked a well, lol.

Of that list.....ill hire "write in", ha

CAA client so there is familiarity there, if Knicks stay young he should be the top candidate..
