Many of the recent Knicks rumors have lost some steam from a few days ago.
Do the Knicks put all their chips on the table, cutting a deal with the Kings for Jaden Ivey?
A possible Malcom Brogdon deal is said to not include the 11th pick.
Will the Knicks clear $25M in cap space to sign Jalen Brunson?
Where does Burks and Noel land if dealt?
Julius Randle is never in national trade rumors.
If NY stays at 11 and drafts AJ Griffin, how will he history of knee issues fair?
Dejounte Murray was rumored in a possible John Collins deal. This is something the Knicks should investigate.
A lot of Knicks fans on Twitter are down on Leon Rose and Co. Many stating that he is just taking care of CAA, family and friends.
We will have some more clarity in a few hours.
What would a Lakers package even look like
The mask crap isn't going to be as big an issue one would hope. He's not necessarily injury prone.
I can think of bigger risks, including doing nothing.
I don't care if the Knicks trade for him, I'm never rooting for him.

If a guy helps my team win he can believe the moon is made of spare ribs for all I care.

Imagine telling Nets fans one year ago that there would be a very real possibility of them entering the 2022-23 season with Ben Simmons as the face of the franchise.
They're not dealing him either. It's all just media stuff. They'll offer him the max for 2 years, or however long Durant's contract goes for and he'll take it.
I mean.. yeah and? Brunson is going to get 20-25 million per season and maybe even a max contract, Morris is making Alec Burks money the next 2, I'd hope Brunson had more of an effect...
Would you trade down ten picks in the first round for Alec Burks? I wouldn’t. Morris is better than what they have, but that’s the lowest of bars. More importantly though, I like the people they can get at 11.

I don't view Alec Burks as a PG, but a PG Alec Burks who was 5 years younger (Morris is 26, Burks is 31 next month) and 21 for 11? Yeah I would. This team needs a PG badly and dropping back 10 picks isn't a huge price to pay.
Honestly the lakers dont work unless Kyrie takes the MLE. They have 3 guys making 125 mill and then THT and some others. They literally cant make the salaries match unless the Nets or some other team is taking Russ. And the lakers dont have the assets to get a team to take Russ. They cant trade a first until 2026. They would have to give me like 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 firsts all unprotected to take Russ.
Without knowing what that price is, I agree. Whether it's Ivey or something else, they need to push some chips to the center of the table and take a big swing that can change the franchise's trajectory. I don't anticipate that happening though.
Go all in
Please not be true. I do not want Griffin
I dunno, Woj and Shams generally don't start chiming in until it gets real.
I listened to that show he did earlier today The Putback. From that I didn't get the sense he thought they were going to move up. Seemed to indicate that they thought the price was too high unless Sharpe is there a few picks before 11 then maybe the cost wouldn't be prohibitive.
Especially since he took the stance that they didnt have enough to move up all week

As would I. They would at least be taking a swing. This franchise has not moved the needle and lacks star talent. Scared money don't make money.
Agreed. Ivey or Sharpe would look nice in a Knicks uniform

I've been saying for the past month that I've heard it is over a 50% chance that D'Angelo Russell is traded this offseason.
Conversations with a few non-Timberwolves sources today suggest a Russell trade is now even more likely -- either tonight or the first week of July.
This is a weird post. Wouldn’t you think that if they make a big move it’s because they believe in the player? I know it’s the Knicks, but do you honestly think they’d make a big move for a player nobody believed in? And what would be you’re criteria for knowing if they truly believed in the player or not?

Multiple posters basically said they wanted the Knicks to make a move simply because it's a big swing. If I misunderstood or mischaracterized their posts, my bad.
The point is this front office has been very patient and overly cautious which is not paying off. They draft assets are dwindling down and it's year 3 of the front office it's time to take some chances and go big.

I think what posters are saying is you cant go into next season with the same squad...Rose and company have not put their stamp on this roster, no one wants them to blow it up for a scrub..It is just time to be agressive
