that all hell could break loose once the finals is over because of the cap ramifications july 1st and the draft being so close to July 1st
I don’t think there will be some massive movement of high impact players. Maybe a handful get moved but there will be a lot of movement with the Oubre type players. I could see contenders try to turn some of their high salary/middle impact guys into cheaper versions due to the cap. I wouldn’t classify it as “as hell breaking loose” but there will be some significant movement. Enough that may turn fringe contenders into play in teams and vice versa
I know you mentioned in the past that you’d be shocked if OG moved on, is that still true? And what’s the general thought on Hartenstein staying or going?

Still true.
I think the Knicks keep him. I could be wrong but I don’t get the sense a 4 year $100 mill deal is out there for him
I know you said you believe OG will be back for a relatively team friendly deal. Would IHart be the same? Are there any cap limitations on keeping both of them? And, finally, the same with Precious.
And who’s the most likely acquisition? Figured I’d get those out of the way, haha. By the way, really appreciate all the info you provide!
Biggest target: Booker, AD
Middle range: Bridges
Most likely: don’t have a specific name yet, but flipping Bojan for a wing upgrade
Wow very cool. Booker obviously the crown jewel but I’d thing highly unlikely no? And do you think he and Brunson fit well together? I’d love to just see them add a catch n shoot guy, like Korver was back in the day.
Great news on OG and iHart. I love the chemistry iHart brings.

I think all three are back pending if they make a trade. I think iharts deals comes in lower than what’s being speculated.
Knicks are going to be a second apron team if they keep both OG and ihart

We have so many catch and shoot guys. Our issue is not that but rather another creator on offense. When Brunson was hobbled and Randle was out, it completely threw off our offense. McBride, DD, Hart, OG, etc. can all catch and shoot.
1. Is a potential elite big (AD)
2. A creator (Booker)
3. A defensive wing (Bridges/caruso)
In the draft they want to add multiple position guys Smith could play the 3-4 and small ball 5 in spurts. Dunn defensively could play 3- small ball 5 but his offense has a ways to go. They know they need to improve the back of the bench after what happened with the injuries
it sounds like the Nets seem intent on keeping Bridges?
I don’t think it’s so much they want to keep him as they overrate his value
That's positive, maybe there's a path forward even if the Knicks need to overpay. Bridges for Bogie and a bunch of picks I still think is a major step forward.
I unfortunately now have gotten irrationally excited about KD and am setting myself up for disappointment
That’s a tough one though answer. If AD, Booker or Giannis became available they’d aggressively pursue it. Otherwise I think they’re fine running it back with a Brunson-Dante-OG-Randle-ihart starting lineup and making some tweaks to the wings and depth. They’ll aggressively pursue fixes to the depth and backup wings but I don’t think many people will consider that being aggressive.
I think they’d like to bring Burks back as the 11/12 guy and he’d be cool with it in just not sure there’s a path for it

Thats fair, my worry is they become a 2nd apron team running it back and they get stuck
Any Giannis buzz? I know it's a longshot, but figured I'd ask.
He has a deal with ownership that they’ll trade him if he asks, I don’t think he asks this year though. But it’s why resigning and overpaying Randle may be a good thing
Because they’ll have 8 or 9 guys on middle to low high dollar contracts, not because they have 3 aging super max contracts
They’ll be able to find ways to maneuver. It’ll have some uncomfortable decisions, but they’ll have ways.
Yeah thats my issue i dont want to have to trade Divo, Hart or OG to make a deal work, but i get if nothing is out there you cant force it
I really think they get a ring out of this group without having to trade one of those guys
I hope so, in the other thread we were talking about KD and how perfrct he would be because his contract runs 2 years then they would create cap soace just in time to sign Bridges
I've read the Rockets are willing to offer a lot of the Nets draft capital back to them for Bridges. Are they going to try to recoup assets or build around Bridges?

They’ll trade Bridges but it’ll have to be on their terms. To be honest I don’t know who the Nets want to build around. They’re rudderless
First of thank you for everything you share over the years
I don’t think there will be some massive movement of high impact players. Maybe a handful get moved but there will be a lot of movement with the Oubre type players. I could see contenders try to turn some of their high salary/middle impact guys into cheaper versions due to the cap. I wouldn’t classify it as “as hell breaking loose” but there will be some significant movement. Enough that may turn fringe contenders into play in teams and vice versa
I don’t see any stars moving.
draft info has been kinda dark this year but if I had to guess I’d say Tyler Smith, Dunn, Missi, Edey in that order.
Trade I think would be flipping Bojan for someone slightly better and younger, just uncertain of who
Biggest target: Booker, AD
Middle range: Bridges

Still true.

They should have already, I don’t think they do this summer and I think they regret it. Ownership is stubborn
Gotta look up some more Tyler Smith. He wasn't really on my radar at all.

I think he is. Not sure if the Bulls make him available

Sounds like Redick is the front runner now

Atlanta really is it so far. I think Detroit is a blow it up team next year.

January validates this confidence.
They’ll be able to find ways to maneuver. It’ll have some uncomfortable decisions, but they’ll have ways.

Yeah thats my issue i dont want to have to trade Divo, Hart or OG to make a deal work, but i get if nothing is out there you cant force it
He should be good to go

Thank you again
Not unless it’s for a start.
It’s possible if there’s nobody on the trade market they 👍
I don’t think there’s significant interest in KAT from what I heard
