NFT: Knicks Trade

sucks shooting and his assist to turnover is mediocre.

imploring Frank to step it up. Happy Thanksgiving Knicks/Giants fans!

But Terrence Clark looked extremely impressive last night, offensively and defensively. And Devin Askew should be a senior in HS and looked like he has a very nice jump shot, and very excited to watch him progress.

If we can't land Cunningham

heads to Houston in a Rivers sign and trade, the Knicks get 3 mid-30's Euros

Knicks get draft rights to Sergio Llull and two others. Llull is the big name. He's a legend in Spain. Houston has been trying to get him to come over for a decade now. He's 33 now and it's a long shot he'll come over but maybe the Knicks think there's a shot, otherwise why do the deal?

He recently said he plans to stay in Spain, sounds like may move into a coaching role.

It's worth noting that Llull's six-year contract with Real Madrid does expire after the 2020-21 season.

However, the legendary Llull (who celebrated his 33rd birthday) told Eurohoops last month:
“My intention is to continue [with Real Madrid], in whatever position they want."

He makes over $2M in Europe which I think is the most the Rockets could pay him being over the cap but I wonder if the Knicks could (not saying they should) offer him more money to entice him.

In an interview last summer with Diario AS, Llull addressed the subject of a potential move to the NBA.

Llull said (as translated by Eurohoops.net):

I am not closing the door. I actually appreciate [the] Houston Rockets’ interest every year and also the fact they respect my decision, because they have never pressured me. They are always nice to me, accepting my wishes.

“My intention is to continue [with Real Madrid], in whatever position they want,” Llull said in a recent interview, as translated from Spanish to English by Eurohoops.net. “I am very calm, there is no rush. I am focused on having a good season and continue helping to win titles.”

Only 21. Sounds like he has more of a chance to make the NBA than any of the Euro prospects we have.

With the Austin Rivers sign-and-trade complete, I believe the Knicks currently hold draft rights on these players:

Sergio Llull
Tadija Dragicevic
Alex Hervelle
Mathias Lessort
Ante Tomic
Ognjen Jaramaz
Louis Labeyrie

"Why did the number go so high? One major factor in speaking to people familiar with the process: the New York Knicks. Tom Thibodeau and crew are in desperate need of a talent upgrade to the roster, and a 24-year-old shooting guard who hit 42.6 percent of his 3s with the Wolves last season would certainly qualify as an upgrade.

Sources say the Knicks’ first priority for a wing was to get Gordon Hayward and that they told Beasley if they missed out they were coming after him. The Knicks had the cap space, and it would be conceivable that Thibs wouldn’t have minded stealing away a player the Wolves gave up a first-round pick for at the trade deadline....So rather than wait to see if the Knicks were going to extend an offer, which very well could have come since they did miss out on Hayward, Beasley agreed to terms on the spot.....And whether the Knicks were bluffing or not, there was genuine belief within the Wolves that a bigger offer was coming if they didn’t get out in front of it."

Wonder what NYK offer to Beasley was?
