Size matters. But if you have a big man who can pass/shoot, an added bonus. In theory, a healthy-ish Boogie would have been amazing for us, especially if we still signed Dwight.

I would do this if you can package McGee with someone like DG or Kuz. Dwight, AD and Boogie (if healthy and at the minimum) should be enough.


As much as it pains me, I thinking holding on to DG would be important. Provides that deep playoff experience and he can still defend (sometimes). Someone shared a stat on RealGM that we are a +21.1 with Danny on vs. a -12.0 with him off. Doesn't seem like he is making much of an impact but he is, according to the stats.

Wish we could sign someone like Jerami Grant. OKC basically threw him in for not much.

Never really understood why the Thunder got rid of him, they could have used him in the Rockets series.

He’s gonna get paid. I think Craig will be a cheap option if we can get a scorer/playmaker for the our MLE.

I'm supremely surprised Mike Malone had the guts to run him at the 3. I guess Barton's injury kinda forced him to. But I'll still give him credit.
I do admit though, I like going big. There are alot of 4s in the league I would run at the 3. Giannis, Simmons, Johnathan Isaac. Think the Clippers putting PG13 and Kawhi at the starting 2 and 3 is smart. I actually think BOS screwed up having Smart, Brown, Tatum, and Gordon on the same team. Smart should guard 1s. And the other 3 guys should exclusively play the 2 and 3.

The 28th pick could yield a better player than Knox.

Who do you have in mind? getting Knox is a high reward cause a change of scenery might boost his confidence because the Knicks are toxic.

It was a money move.

By trading Grant to a team which had cap space so they didn't have to take anyone back, they saved $36 million with the taxes included.

Remember, Oklahoma wasn't expected to be a playoff team and they were going into tank mode.

I prefer someone like McDermott but Knox will do it for me.

Cook and that first for Knox.

Might not be a bad idea. The Knicks are stuck in a mire, so a late 1st would benefit them and we need some decent young players on this team.

Gotta know what our Center rotation looks like if McGee is gone.
I'd prefer 28th pick and McGee for Mitchell Robinson.
But maybe I do neither trade.

I live in New York and because love basketball, I watch the knicks.....Knox sucks! He shoots too many jump shots, can not create his own shot and is not a good defender.

Yep. I've watched more Knicks than I should've the past couple years. He's cheeks. Only speck of optimism I have for him is the fact that Knicks suck at player development. So maybe if he leaves he shows something we haven't seen thus far.

Judging from Kuzma and Ingram, not sure we're the best at that development bit either, to be honest. Caruso is the GOAT, so he will naturally develop

I think Robinson is a big part of that young core that Knicks wants to build. Knox is more of a spare part.

They got rid of him right when he was beginning to come into his own.

I was led to believe by someone that OKC would continue paying luxury taxes. They did for 1 season and then decided...hell no.

Uh, Ingram is an All Star. He developed his game here and then git the opportunity to showcase it in New Orleans.
