This would be an unbelievable trade. I am going to keep beating the drum that Deni is really good and is definitely the third best player in that trade.

I can’t see Washington trading Deni for that package


Obviously draft picks would be involved

Fit, george is a better player, better matchup to beat Boston...

Also are you paying Randle 45 to 50 million next year?

Hmmmm Randle may not be here for too many more years...
I still don't want PG,he's not worth the $.
Patience is the best player here

Found this which I think is interesting. Per 36 nearly identical in Rebounds and Assists and literally the exact same TS%. And Deni is 6 years younger.

I think it’s fair to point out however that he’s generally getting those numbers against smaller defenders as he’s a SF while Julius is going against bigger bodies. If he replaces Randle is his being 30-40 lbs lighter than Randle going to impact his production? I don’t know the answer and Thibs is the guy to figure it out but I just think it’s worth noting
Yeah I think that’s fair and also  
Jon In NYC : 6/24/2024 10:20 pm : link
Julius definitely created more of his own offense than Avdija. But Deni is good and getting better.
As expected OG opts out

I think the implication is Leon is working hard on trades and maybe something is close?

I do think we're in the window where any minute now a trade can be announced. Would not surprise me at all if all sides wanted this done before the draft so picks can be made with the future roster state in mind.

I think George trade couod be announced today, tomorrow or thursday, i think George and the clippers will want the deal done with a couple of days to spare just in case..

a Mikal Bridges if its going to happen will haporn today or tomorrow because the Nets want a pick this yesr
Im not sure this is a bold  
Jon In NYC : 6/25/2024 7:59 am : link
take but I would be stunned if the Knicks didn't draft a center.

Precious is almost certainly gone. Mitch seems to be a likely trade candidate. By the end of the year Jericho was the 4th option.

Even if they sign Goga or Drummond or some backup to iHart, you're one achilles flare up from a 48 minute center rotation of Goga and Jericho.

I think you need more talent in that room. I could see them trading up for Kel'el Ware who they just had in for a visit. You don't bring in a guy a few days before the draft unless there's serious interest, and Ware wouldn't make the trip unless he thought he could go there.

I think he's going to be a very good NBA player. Maybe not a star but I don't see anything Derrick Lively is doing right now that Ware can't. Definitely not a mauler but can shoot can block shots, has nice touch. I think he has a ton of upside.

is one of the dumbest things ive ever seen--- the demand for him was well above his level of play--- they could get young player and picks to be able to tank... instead they are looking to pair him... which he will be like 30 and on a bad contract by the time that could even happen--- so dumb

yeah and we obsess in here on getting him to the Knicks but they don't have to deal with that at all with multiple teams interested they could drive his price sky high and deal him far away from the city to a team like Houston for a haul.

What I don’t understand is what star they’re chasing to pair with Bridges. Donovan Mitchell was the hot name for awhile but all signs point to him extending with Cleveland. So that leaves, Trae Young? I have a feeling he’s not getting moved either

Ware is one of my favorite potential picks for the Knicks. Missi would also be a good get. Maybe if they move up to the teens, Edey could be on the board as well

I haven't played around with the numbers yet but it's possible they're working on a way to send Kuzma to LAC who would be a nice fit there and makes ~$8M or so more than Mitch to match PG's contract. That makes more sense to me than them moving Avdija. Could be contingent on the draft too. I doubt they'd be as interested in Mitch if they wind up with Sarr at 2, unless it's more about whatever pick compensation they'd get vs the player.

DanMetroMan : 6/25/2024 10:10 am : link
la la, Knicks working out some players I really like. Mogbo really reminds me of a starter kit Josh Hart, Ware they will probably have to trade up for, Mitchell is a late bloomer who has *some* Brunson to his game and Freeman is a late bloomer who is NBA ready and could be a Thibs favorite.



"Ajay Mitchell, Jonathan Mogbo, Enrique Freeman, Kel’el Ware and Antonio Reeves have all worked out for the Knicks recently and presumably are on New York’s radar as the draft approaches."

The problem is without Randle you’re sending out more than you’re taking back which hardcaps you and prevents you from signing OG

Not necessarily in a multi-team scenario but that gets complicated.

More likely though is that if they can get PG and keep Randle, they may be find with being hard capped. Order of operations matters though. They can agree on the deal with execute an OG extension before the PG deal is official

That’s only in a direct 2 team deal. In a 3 team deal, they could for example sign and trade Precious or Burks to send out additional salary. They could also use both their first round picks or use one first and a second to move up for a higher salary slot, sign those guys and wait a month to execute the deal so their salaries can be included. Like I said, it gets complicated but it is possible.

How does it prevent you from signing OG?

even if you get hard capped at 178..

49 for george
24 for Jalen
28 for Randle
18 for hart
11 for divo

thats 130..35 milion for og gets you to 165..

It may prevent you from signing Hartenstein but it wont prevent you from signing OG

Can't sign and trade and aggregate salaries so that's not an option.

Plus on top of all of this the Clippers as ajr said aren't just sitting on empty roster spots.

It's not feasible to not include Randle, keep OG and keep iHart, as much as I'd like to.

6 guys, so thats 8 cap holds..

2 spots for draft picks at around 3 million if they arent in the deal..

you can sign a couple of vet minimum deals like Andre drummond to fill spots..

Either way they will most likely use a 3rd team to circumvent being hard capped at the first apron and most likely be hard capped at apron 2..

This is way you stack the cupboard of picks
and Jon you are probably right

Yes you can. Cavs did it with Sexton in the Mitchell trade. It just needs to be a multi-team trade because LAC can't acquire a player via sign and trade
What I've learned is that its folly to try and think we know the exact  
Stu11 : 6/25/2024 11:28 am : link
logistics of the cap and salaries involved. Especially now in this new era of the draconian aprons. There are so many moving parts here with the opt out/option dates, July 1, July 6 etc...the way the order of the transactions can be manipulated, cap holds/quali offers and the draft thrown into the middle of all of this. Silly to fight over it. the teams pay experts a lot of money to figure this all out. Think it will all come to a head in the next 10 days or so. Rose is very meticulous in his planning and execution. I have faith that he has been preparing for this for years. I agree with NYGiants though about the PG thing. It will be decided definitely by Friday at the very latest and very possibly by Wed or Thursday with the draft picks hanging over it.

Yeah i am sure they went to him early on and said if you dont want to extend thats fine, but then we are going to put you in trades

I think George is playing games and will stay with LA. He is just trying extract the best contract possible. He wants to stay in LA and be near his family.

He doesnt need to play games he has a team eith cap space, there are no reason for games..

If opt in and trades are being discussed its the clippers who initiated that scenario

He does not want to play for the teams that have cap space, this is a game of chicken. He wants to stay with LA, but wants the same extension that Kawhi Leonard got and the Clips seem to be balking at that. Thus, he threatens to opt in and wants a trade to GS or NYK, where they most likely will not get a player of PG's ability. We can talk about Randle being a good return and maybe he is, but I have said this before and I know it for a fact, other teams don't see Randle the way the Knicks do.
Again your scenario makes no sense

if he had no leverage the Clippers would just call his bluff and tell him to opt out..

Threatening to opt in and asking for a trade is not a threat to the clippers...

The clippers ar einitiating the opt in discussions because they know they wont sign him and they also dont want to lose him for nothing..

and he doesnt want the Kawhi contract, he wants 4 years and max money
