trade package is roughly the same, PG or Mikal?

Mikal but only because of his age, health, and contract. With that said, there’s no world in which the packages would be the same. Given what I’d imagine they’d likely be, I prefer PG.

says people around the league think the Nets would trsde Mikal to Knicks if they overpay

The Nets are so laughably pathetic. This kind of thing is the definition of little brother syndrome. And nobody on the planet even asked them to be the little brother, they decided all by themselves that they thought it would be a good idea to move into NYC and “take over the city”. Now, they are petrified to trade players to the Knicks because they play in the same city but nobody on the planet even recognizes the Nets as a New York team. They are an afterthought and passing on a better deal because they worry about the Knicks being in the same city is embarrassing as shit

Probably Memphis. I get that it’s a weak draft but I can’t see them giving up Kennard and a first for Mitch.

Fair. I stole this part from an espn suggested trade idea but I think they also had a first gong back to the Grizz. Could definitely see the Clippers interested in getting Kennard back.

What do you mean perfect to do what?
Just checked Washington’s roster.  
bceagle05 : 6/23/2024 12:53 pm : link
They don’t have a center - everybody is designated as a guard or forward. Makes sense they’re in the market for one.
And their roster is wretched.

Kispert wouldn’t be the worst Bogey replacement, if Bogey is traded.

Another trusted source has advised me to keep the Knicks on the list as a potential trade suitor for George if the All-NBA swingman indeed opts into the final season of his current contract at $48.8 million. That step would position George to push for a trade to another team

Yeah same with Kendrick Perkins and AD. He is definitely hearing something from his camp. He has been non stop. The latest this past week was that if things don't work out early with Reddick he could ask out and that he's annoyed because Reddick left him off his ballot for the all defensive team.
I have noticed this with Windy  
nygiants16 : 6/23/2024 3:34 pm : link
he doesnt like to put specific names anywhere, he will say well what about this, and then say just an idea...when he says stuff like that you listen..

As for the PG stuff to me the reason that Sixers stuff came out about them waning interest is because they dont want to have to trade for George..

Guessing Clippers tried to sign George on a less max deal with less years and he said no, ill go sign with the Sixers for the max..

Clippers said wait give us a few teams you would be willing to play for who dont have cap space and we will try to trade you if you opt in..

Knicks were one of those teams and i am guessing Warriors and obviously Sixers, Sixers said no not trading..

Knicks now are trying to get a deal done before the 28th so he will opt in, if they dont he will opt out and sign with Sixers

person who really doesn't care about the money? Unless they basically do nothing they're going to be a second apron team. That's not the death penalty. Do you know who else is a second apron team? The reigning champs the Celtics and they're about to pay Tatum 60 mil a year.

Trade for George. Extend him for the 4 years he wants, Give iHart as much as you can, give OG 5/200. You just have to wait it out a bit because the cap is going to keep going up at increasingly rapid rates but soon it'll normalize.

But this is your core either way for 3-4 years and that's great, go bring home a chip.

Bingo. Also I get it's tough for 2 apron teams to do a trade with eachother because it has to be dollar for dollar, so you get a 3rd or 4th team involved that has space. So what the league has been doing this for decades

If he opted in to match his extension number with Brunsons that would be amazing, but highly doubt it..

I am jist hoping for the opt out announcement with an extension tweet coming right after
You know the Knicks should offer the motherload for OG  
Stu11 : 6/23/2024 5:30 pm : link
To opt-in and extend. The cap/aprons are only gonna go up and up and this off season and maybe up to the trade deadline are our chances to add. Keeping him at that opt-in # this year could really help no?

100% it gives them a lot more wiggle room
His opt-in # is 19.9 mill  
Stu11 : 6/23/2024 5:48 pm : link
So figure he's up for 35+ mill this season. Give him the extension for 40 mill per and he makes up the 15-17 he loses this upcoming season.

If we add PG13, the expectations are a ticket tape parade IMO. That's a team that can win the whole damn thing.
If you add PG without trading Randle

Jon In NYC : 6/23/2024 7:53 pm : link
in play that I haven't heard talked about which is...PG wants the Knicks. He's wanted to go to NY the entire time. He said he loves Thibs. I attached a video below about his take on this version of NYK.

That's why he hasn't signed, that's why Philly is looking elsewhere. He's trying to force a move to the Knicks

I mean he said two things recently:

1. Players talk (referencing Harden and Morey?)

2. He blamed some of the Clippers downfall on losing their role players. Now he's going to a team of 3 guys and 0 depth? I don't buy it.

81_Great_Dane : 6/23/2024 10:26 pm : link
of Paul George to the Knicks. As someone said above: Meh.

Devin Booker, yes. PG, okay, I guess. Lauri Markkanen would help.

There are KD rumors too. I don't much want him, either.

And why do these trade packages with Randle treat him as if he's an average starter who has to be packaged with 4 firsts to sweeten a deal? He's a goddam All-Star. Why don't other teams have to sweeten the deal to land Julius Randle?

Hope he has the secret formula to turn OG into an ironman.

nygiants16 : 6/24/2024 8:15 am : link
Best case scenario and very unlikely is he opts in and then signs an extension, highly highly doubt this happens..

I think a scenario that could happen is he opts out and its immediately followed by the tweet from Woj that hr has signed with Knicks..

I think its a near lock he opts out, questiom is has he agreed to a contract yet
