Some of the daily links are suggesting tge Knicks might make a trade to free up a roster spot do they can sign both Shamet and Simmons. That doesn’t seem very feasible to me.
I’m still alive, people. LOL. Just with little to no time. 😛
And hey, who’s counting?

Maybe we should give this guy a training camp deal, after all he was a KB fave for being picked #1 overall.
Kill-insanity? 🤭😂
As mentioned in the prior thread, I wonder if Leon/Brock are hoping to find a trade to free up enough cap space to sign two vets. The most likely candidate would be Kolek, right? But wouldn’t it make sense to see how Kolek looked in preseason before prematurely trading him? Or trade Dadiet, which I believe would open up enough space for 3 vet’s mimimum deals if they wait a bit to fill those spots?
But it seems like they can sign a vet now and still do that at some point.
It has worked out that Aller has created cap space in creative ways in the past (the Bridges and KAT deals took a bunch of creativity, which I believe included getting Dadiet to take less than he was eligible for.) Kolek’s deal was larger than he deserved for cap purposes.
In fact, would be a bit surprised is something creative didn’t happen. But I hope they aren’t commmitted to being creative just because it’s cool while the best fits come off the board.
Sold!
Z-man, I just mentioned this possibility in the first post above. The reason it doesn’t seem realistic to me is that I doubt we can trade Kolek or Dadiet for anything. So you’d basically have to give them away (like Kolek for a late second round pick) and even then, I’m not sure another team would bother to do this. Or we could trade McBride, but trading him would mean replacing him with Shamet, which would make us a little worse. So we’d have to get something good for McBride, like a first round pick. But even if we could do that, the team’s not in a position where they would want to get worse to get a future pick. I suppose r there are more complicated deals out there that make us better and also free up a roster spot, but it still seems unlikely.
Kill-inanity
I don’t think a trade is going to happen, but I’m sure Dadier has value, and despite Kolek’s summer league, they could probably get a second for him.
