I think so too. They’re already offering him more money than the opt in so really tough to see a path to NYK unless George wants to play here the most.
I need Devin Booker to force a trade here in the worst way.
when Leon was hired I think Booker or Embiid would have been possible. But once the Suns were sold and once Morey was hired, the chances of either dropped to zero.

gotcha. I imagine quite a few teams would be interested in that scenario.
Sounds like the Suns are targeting Kolek at 22 which certainly makes sense.
Knicks take Missi and Dunn which I think most would sign up for.
Tyler Smith was on the board and goes 26. Gets compared to Naz Reid which I love as a player comp and also a fit on this team. Apparently we tried to get a Reid last offseason. Link - ( New Window )
IDK how I feel about Dunn. I know he's possibly the best perimeter defensive player in the Draft, but he is an ATROCIOUS offensive player.
I hear you, with maybe a slight adjustment in that he’s a horrific shooter, not a horrific offensive player. He shot over 50% from the field is a plus offensive rebounder and has a nice handle.
But he has the same jumper I do. He won’t play meaningful minutes until that’s fixed. But if it is he’s OG 2.0. I think worth a swing with a late first in a bad draft.
If I had my druthers, I'd package one of our picks with our second rounder to move up a bit. If we can come away with two of Kel'El Ware, Tyler Smith, Bub Carrington, and Jared McCain, I'd consider that a major win.
"“According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Bulls have received offers from multiple teams, consisting of multiple protected first-round picks. One of those deals included a pick in the top-10 of the 2024 Draft, the source said. The Golden State Warriors were among teams who made a strong offer for Caruso, multiple sources confirmed…the source indicated that there was a mandate from the Reinsdorfs to fight for the Playoffs. That, no doubt, impacted the front office’s decision making when it came to pulling the trigger on any Caruso deal.” "

That’s so fucking stupid. They’re going to lose him for nothing.
"Having passed on opportunities to trade him, the Bulls must look more seriously at the trade market or attempt to extend him before he becomes a free agent.
They may have the inside track on keeping him — it’s possible Caruso, given his perpetual risk of injury, prefers to lock in long-term security with an extension. He may instead prefer to test free agency where he will likely attract equal or better offers in team contexts more conducive to winning.
Let’s start with Bojan Bogdanovic. His contract is currently guaranteed for $2 million. It becomes fully guaranteed at $19 million on June 28. If you’re thinking about a significant trade, the Knicks' decision on Bogdanovic is key.
Here’s Gozlan: "I think it makes sense to keep him and guarantee him for the upcoming season if the Knicks feel like there is a trade for an All-Star on the horizon. Attaching his $19 million with Julius Randle's $28.9 million allows them to match for just about anyone. If Bogdanovic is gone, they likely need to trade Josh Hart or Mitchell Robinson, or even try to get Precious Achiuwa involved in a sign-and-trade to get enough money to send out."

hence the question. They're clearly not untouchable level players but it's safe to say they're part of the core going forward. But there's a point where you start talking about potentially acquiring players of a certain caliber - and Brunson's feelings just won't be enough to keep them out of the deal.

I can't imagine they would make any move the Brunson is not 100% on board with until after he signs an extension. And even then he deserves a full season with his core and OG mixed in, whether it includes Randle or a substitution. I imagine even the Randall question is whether Brunson wants to play with him or not.
At this moment in time it seems like they'll look to mostly
run it back with some moves on the margins/draft picks. Of course that could always change if some star asks out. Unless a deal presents itself by June 28 you probably have to pick up Bojan's option. I get this crashes us into the 2nd Apron, but like others have mentioned we can operate as a 2nd apron team because of the fact none of our contracts are bad at all. This could change when/if Randle signs an extension, but that wouldn't be until August at the earliest and they can put it off if they want.

Yup Stu looks like the same team with maybe a draft pick (if we keep one). Looks like no bargain studs out there. Unless you want Chicago’s headache. I just don’t see (or heard) anything of substance.
I dont think they can, it doesnt make sense to, picking up Bogies contract and keeping it on the books will put them into apron 2 and makes it nearly impossible to trade for a star..
They will make a deal, how big? who knows but they will make a deal
read as always from Fred Katz Link - ( New Window )
Yeah it was a good read. He made a great point that even the first apron is pretty restrictive in that trades have to be dollar for dollar making it near impossible for 2 teams over the 1st apron to make a trade with each other without getting a 3rd team involved.
wiggle room on an OG contract since IMO he's not a clear cut full max player. And maybe he wants a shorter deal so he can get an even bigger deal in 3 years? He's still pretty young. Rose better not f--k this up.
that he probably isn't taking less to stay with the Knicks. So his agents will go out and talk to the 76ers, they'll offer him higher than what the Knicks will and then the Knicks ultimately match that.

That's how I think it plays out.
One of his agents is Sam Rose, the other was hired by Leon Rose...
Think about it this way, thia report came out on Monday, they werent able to start negotiations until today but he is already mad?
offer him 4/182. But I'm curious if they'd really go near that number. Even if they sign him or get PG - they have to fill out the rest of their roster. Pretty much everyone on the team other than Embiid and Maxey is a free agent.

Oh, the report is probably bullshit.
But I do think that his agents will talk to other teams, find the highest contract they can, and come back to the Knicks and allow them to match it.
Wouldn't surprise me if the standing offer is like 4/140 and he gets an offer for 4/160 and then the Knicks match.
I have confidence in this FO, there are questions about OG and his durability, so why start off with the highest offer. He is CAA and you know the Knicks will have an opportunity to match. Let's see if Philly or OKC or anyone actually makes an offer to OG.
what I can tell, that stems from the idea that OG wanted to be more involved in the offense, at times be the primary ball handler and Nurse didn't allow him to do so. Now if this bothered OG because he felt it was going to cost him money... but the Sixers make the highest bid, it probably won't matter. Who knows if it's even true?

Utah is interesting, Markannen is going to be an UFA after next yesr, does he sign an extension or will he force their hand to trade him

I like Windhorst to and think he is legit and i am sure he has heard he wont sign before free agency..
There's your Bojan replacement

The Pacers are nearing a long-term contract extension with forward Pascal Siakam, league sources told Fieldhouse Files.
Both sides know how each other feels + want the partnership to continue. Story to come.
