Under the prior CBA, the Knicks could use owner James Dolan's deep resources to keep this group together after making it to the second round of the playoffs for a second straight year. Now, the Knicks have some difficult choices ahead.
If the Knicks re-sign both center Isaiah Hartenstein and forward OG Anunoby and don't cut any salary, they'll be far into the second apron, limiting their ability to make a big swing for a star. As a result, New York could cut salary by trading their other center, Mitchell Robinson, or by moving on from Bojan Bogdanovic's partially guaranteed deal. Link - ( New Window )
As to why we haven’t heard anything on OG yet. Is today a hard deadline for him to opt out?
Yeah at midnight although they can agree to push it back. Not sure there's much to hear at this point. Seems like the direction it's trending is that he'll hit UFA before a deal is worked out

well within his right to ask for every last penny and use what leverage he has to get it. Players for the most part are all about other players getting their money over all else. OG played half of a season with the Knicks, I find it implausible that other Knicks would expect him to accept anything less than the most he can get.
Not when Brunson is thinking about sacrificing and taking less
OG Anunoby has declined his $19.9 million player option for next season, a league source tells The Athletic, an expected move. Anunoby will now officially become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Free agency begins June 30.

I just dont see hoe the Warriors can pull this off, they are way over the second apron it would rpobably need to be a multi team trade sending out a ton of contracts

I believe the new second apron rules don't go into effect until 7/1, no? Might be why Windhorst said he thinks this is going to come to a head very soon.

. The bigger issue for GS is what they have to trade. Would they really part with Kuminga or Podziemski? If not, then there won't be much of any value they can give up
RE: Also, if/when Klay walks, they'd be under the second apron

They seem pretty committed to going for one last run with Steph. I definitely could see at least one if not both of those guys being included. Moody in the mix as well.

I'm ambivalent on Pod but trading Kuminga would be a terrible decision imo. He's still only 21 and getting better. It's not a given that PG outperforms him over the course of the next 3 years
The Warriors are dumb AF if they think their core can still contend for a title. That window is now closed. Steph is what, 35? He's still amazing, but he's probably nearing the end. Same for Klay & Draymond. Throw in the talent in the West...I don't see it. They seized probably their last drop from that core in '21-'22.
RE: Getting into a bidding war with the Warriors would be so frustrating.
The Knicks definitely have the better situation but who knows what PG wants. I really hope we can keep Randle out of this.
You have a right to be frustrated with that because George’s family is all in Cali and he has said he loves being able to play while having them at all the games. San Fran is a lot closer to LA than NY, lol. The Warriors could be a legit threat here

Wiggins is terrible, like really bad and his contract is awful, 3 more years above 26 million a year..

They are hanging on for dear life to remain relevant while Steph is still around. They won’t admit it’s over until he’s gone. They have to keep Steph happy or face a trade demand which will send that franchise straight back to irrelevance. They are desperate
I agree re. them wanting to remain relevant while Steph is there & I suspect he'll never go elsewhere because of how much he means to that franchise & fan base. I just looked it up...he's 36. & again-while still a top player-I don't see him hanging around until he's 40 or so like LBJ.

I'm not so sure about that. I think the Wiggins contract is a negative asset right now and if the Knicks wanted to include them, have many more tradeable 1st round picks.
I'm skeptical that there's a way to make any deal work without Randle, but if there is one it has to include Deuce. Outside of Kuminga and Randle, that would be the best asset either team would put in the deal.

I agree 100% but I’m guessing ownership would be too petrified of the fan backlash
I don't disagree re. taking emotion out of it, but I just can't see it happening. If I was Dunleavy, I'd just blow it up & start fresh. But I can't imagine they do that.
if they trade for George they are really dumb, they arent going to be that much better with George lol, they arent winning the west..
Kuminga is a future stsr and maybe even a future paul george lol
The Warriors won 46 games last year, it’s not like they were a bad team. They were also very good the second half of the year after a slow start to the season. Dallas made the finals after a 50 win season, as good as the West is, anything can happen.
I don’t think it’s crazy at all for them to think that they can be in the mix next year by upgrading from Klay to George and getting another year of development from guys like Podziemski, Kuminga or whoever they don’t send out for PG.

36 year old Curry, 34 year old George and 34yearold Green aren’t coming remotely close to coming out of the West. The conference is absolutely loaded with young teams that will continue to get better. No chance. Come on now
is the real test to see how badly PG wants a title. Go play at home with your fam and hit the play in or go to the 2nd best team in the opposing conference.
Ultimately he still has all the leverage if he wants it by just telling teams he won't extend there.
Knicks are trying to combine their picks to move up into the teens..
He also said the Knicks continue to try and tlak to the Nets about Mikal Bridges
Oh hell yeah maybe there's someone they really like. Devin Carter is as Thibsian as it gets.
I haven't really been attention to the top of the draft but people seem to think Ron Holland will drop and aren't sure why. But he's another wing they may like.

Hmmm well not drop dead in love with it, but don't hate it. It's a lot to give up. I like Deni's versatility to his game. Sort of like OG lite. Can play small ball 4 and 3. PG/OG/Deni gives you a hell of a lot of versatility. Thing is I love Thibs, but he's pretty rote and set in his ways. He's stubborn at times. Would be interesting to see if embraces the lineup versatility.
RE: RE: What is the point of trading Randle for PG?
Fit, george is a better player, better matchup to beat Boston...
Also are you paying Randle 45 to 50 million next year?
George is NEVER healthy, much older, and will be getting paid a ton as well. I am all for moving Randle but it doesn't make sense for PG imo. I also don't agree with the better fit. Randle played great with Brunson last year and everyone knows I am not a big Randle fan.

Crazy and unrealistic way to look at it.
He's not worth that now but maybe he continues to grow to be worth those $$$?
He's 22 years old. Most times when you pay a player their first real money it's for what you think he can develop into.
