We should just pry LeBron from the Lakers and win the whole damn thing now.

In reply to Ben R.

They’d just keep him at that point. They would 100% want unprotected picks, not pseudo-picks.

I think the trade for Bridges if we wanted to keep as much of the rotation as possible and keep future assets for other trades would be:
2024 Dallas pick
2025 Milwaukee Pick
2026 Knicks pick
Detroit pick
Washington pick
Fournier

That’s five 1sts including in 2024 and 2026 which are years that Brooklyn has no 1st round pick. I think with five picks we can insist on keeping Grimes.

That seems like enough to get it done, and still leaves us with all our picks but the one in 2026. After this year we could still trade 2028, 2030, and 2032 with swaps in 27, 29, and 31. That is still probably enough for a star trade if one materializes.

I’d still rather move Randle for Bridges but I am mostly alone for that.

Can’t imagine us winning with 3 of our top 5 out tonight… Prove me wrong again, guys!

Ryan Dunn is an excellent defensive prospect, but he is brutal on offense

Yeah, I think I was trying to delete his entry and leave KJs but screwed it up and left Dunn’s name atop KJs bio.

I was waffling on Dunn because the Knicks don’t draft one-way players, but based on the Herb Jones comp I kinda thought he’d be a better shooter. So, revising my initial take, I no longer think he should be on the list.

For the folks looking for a Randle update

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Tom Thibodeau doesn’t have an update on Julius Randle. Says Randle & Knicks are still gathering information on the best steps forward regarding his dislocated shoulder. Thibodeau suggested there would be a definitive decision/timeline within the next few days.

@FredKatz
OG Anunoby is out tonight, Tom Thibodeau says

Again, hope it’s just precautionary.

Ryan Dunn. Dunn was comped to Herb Jones who would be a Knicks guy too

In reply to Hubert IV.

I love Mikal Bridges, but I just don’t think he’s “Spend everything you possibly can to get him.”

If you threw out the 2029 pick, I’d make that trade.
