Trade deadline closing in still not a ton of chatter around the Knicks other than the rumored jazz deal. I am not in favor of the move to send obi and one first for Beasley and Vanderbilt
I’m Holding out hope they make a move for OG as long as the price is right and if there’s no deal to be made I’d keep it simple at the deadline and go get someone like Eric Gordon or a player of that caliber for a pair of 2nds.
Obi
7 first round picks
Are nets getting a better offer?
The nets could easily get a better offer than that. Doesn’t matter though- they would never trade him to the Knicks and he doesn’t want to be a Knick.
I guess Toronto can offer Siakim and van fleet but that roster would stink then

Boston, Memphis, Toronto, Denver, Portland, Phoenix could all top that deal. Even Cleveland if they offered Mobley or Garland could.
I don’t think the Knicks have a high end young player that would be attractive enough to Brooklyn.
And why wouldn’t OKC or NOLA be in on Durant?
Which rumor?
Yeah. And he’s retweet Jordan Peterson, John Stockton, and Jason Whitlock. He’s clearly trying to make a statement. I have no problem with him doing that. I’m Jewish. Wish he would own it instead of just making up some BS reason about why he was disrespected. I’ve had clients that were openly antisemitic and I actually got along well with them because they owned it. Kyrie is such a tool. Never mind that he thinks he’s sophisticated and well read.
Memphis isn’t going to offer bane, morant or jackson so what’s their better offer?
I agree on raptors but nets are probably rebuilding if they trade durant. Not sure they want siakim and van fleet.
Durant isn’t going to OKC or NOLA is my point he will have some say in it. Durant is too powerful to just send him wherever you want.
Suns - ayton has higher upside than rj but Knicks have 7 first rounders and wins have 3. I think RJ Obi with 7 picks beats ayton and 3 picks.
What’s the denver offer?
Bondy claims he'll likely be bought out if he's not traded. Even for Leon Rose being unable to deal Reddish for a late 2nd etc would be something...
-Mentioned this yesterday but the Bucks are apparently interested in Rose.

talk? I looked things up, saw possible Cam + for Saddiq Bey? Or Cam for a 2 + a depth SF from Cleveland Osman?

Just saw someone else say this on Twitter. It makes 0 sense to not even be able to get a 2 for him. It amazes me how a GM plans to trade a player, but can’t tell the coach to give said player a few games to showcase that he can still play even if just 12 minutes for 2-3 games to garnish value back. In hockey, it happens all the time.
He also said the thinking of not trading KD has shifted for the Nets in the last 48 hours and there is now at least a possibility the Nets will trade him

Its also Bondy, who ha sbeen trolling a lot more lately
“That is an interesting development that has happened over the last 48 hours since the Kyrie trade from people that I've talked to.”
add in a new owner already leaking (tampering) that they are prepared to make a run at kd and a roster full of compelling pieces, and if there's a team that increases their offer from last summer in-season in a short window i think it's them.
some combo of bridges, johnson, ayton, and all their picks (most post-kd/cp3) is a really strong return that i was surprised the nets didn't just take last summer, but i think the rumors are that phoenix never put their best offer on the table.
boston put jaylon brown on the table last summer and if they did that again with smart that would be another option but i dont see boston doing that since they are already the favorite.
i think the nets want to give it 1 more run with kd and deal with a trade in june but if a really strong offer comes in they should take it and run - but the strength of the offer will come with getting a legitimate top 30 young guy like bridges or brown.
if they know kd is on the market now or maybe in the summer, do they trade 1st for kelly olynyk or naz reid right now? i would guess they are less likely to do so and maybe that makes it easier for the nets to possibly grab one of them.
cam j, ayton, and bridges put on a show. not sure ayton makes sense anymore with claxton emerging but that is by far the best value deal.

The Knicks are the 6 seed.
Their oldest rotation player is 28.
They have SEVEN 1st-Round Picks in the next 3 years.
Their 3 best players are on low-cost contracts until 2026.
The Knicks future is bright
No Nash. No Kyrie. Two huge pluses.
Claxton is legitimately good, Cam Thomas has potential. Add in Dorian Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson, Mikal Bridges and some more picks - Sean Marks can work with that.

You can never say never. But Rose has not forced anything. It's all the rumors, most of which are BS, that make it seem as if he is desperately seeking trades.
If you judge by deeds rather than rumors, Rose has stayed the course, keeping the young core together and letting them grow.

7 FRPs in the next 3 years plus a lot of young tradeable players also mean they can swing TWO moves if they wanted to. One for a solid piece and then another move for a Superstar
On the OG front....
Some Raptors stuff from the great @TheSteinLine:
- Raptors exploring GTJ + draft compensation for Jakob
- Raptors believe they can get 3 firsts for O.G
- Memphis, NOLA, NYK have all indicated a “willingness” to offer 2 picks for O.G
- KD situation stalling OG talks

Is Hart a good defender or 3 pt shooter?

Very good defender and rebounder for a wing, he can shoot the 3

there is no way they trade claxton. he's 23, signed cheap for next year, and would open a hole bigger than the one any available player would fill (including siakam). he's the anchor of their d and at this point they are a defense first team.

Interesting how that doesn’t equate to the same tongue bathing that the national basketball media gave the Nets for one barely over .500 season with one playoff win.
No hes actually at 50% his 3 ball is not that great this uear though....

After tonight’s masterful scoring display down the stretch vs Orlando, Jalen Brunson now has 120 points in “clutch” situations - more than anyone else in the league.
This is to counterbalance Randle's UN clutchness in those late situations. Randle should NEVER be given the ball early in the clock to ISO. It should be Brunson creating either his own shot or setting someone else up he cuts to the basket or is wide open. Randle needs to be a clear 2B in this situation and Thibs needs to enforce that.
Last night, Brunson for 2 straight possessions late after multiple Randle bloopers refused to pass out to Randle . It resulted in a Brunson drive and score and then a Brunson drive and dish to Sims for a dunk.
Anyway, Randle should never touch the ball in clutch situations. He's not that guy. Stop forcing it. It's Brunson. Or try IQ, Grimes, or even RJ.
Best player is not always The Guy in big shot moments. When Giannis needed a big bucket in a playoff game, he gave the ball to Middleton.
Can the Nets as presently constituted really come out the East? I think thats asking alot of Durant. But if you get a full buy in from him for this season and beyond, they have a pretty nice roster and I wouldn't deal him.
He's also 34 years old who is unpredictable to say the least and a constant injury risk. Very difficult decision.
I also can't believe Phoenix is bringing in Isiah Thomas... good lord.
No Nash. No Kyrie. Two huge pluses.
lol at no kyrie being a plus. The dude is amazing at bball. The Nets have no shot as currently constructed.
I dont think so. Would need to see to believe.
I dont think so. Would need to see to believe.
Include Boston in that as well and possibly Miami.
I think the bigger question is if they can reload for next year and be a contender. But if I'm Sean Marks I need an absolute godfather offer before the deadline to pull the trigger.
ESPN Sources: Lakers G Russell Westbrook and coach Darvin Ham had a brief, heated verbal exchange in the halftime locker room on Tuesday vs. OKC. Ham expressed frustration with how Westbrook lingered on the playing floor after getting subbed out of game late in second quarter.
Voices were raised in locker room, but discussion turned back to trying to win game vs. Thunder, sources said. Ham closed game with Westbrook, who had a season-high 14 points in fourth quarter. Ham and Westbrook dapped up prior to leaving arena later in night.
bahahaha.
Certainly possible that things would be magnified in NY simply because there's *more* media in NYC and how the Knicks are sometimes covered differently than other teams (for a variety of reasons). Then again, in the current media landscape everybody is so quick to jump to the next story so who knows.
I think at minimum Rose to Milwaukee..
Knicks do have 2 extra spaces
