"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[storyteller]

Thats a pipedream Knicks should go after SGA in the off season...Hes actually gonna be available i believe.

A little lottery luck could go a long way to acquiring one of the disgruntled stars supposedly available this offseason and the more players hit the market, the better. Between Brunson, and the star guards, there's some hope that a solution falls in our lap.

If the need for a point guard wasn’t even more clearer

 

[RickyGQ]

If they lose him for nothing

Probably sign and trade.

Trying to trade with Presti or Ainge (Utah) is not something I look forward to doing. I think a Zion trade and signing Brunson and Bamba (shout out to @storyteller) is our best bet.

Bamba doesnt make sense hes gonna get paid and you already have Mitch...

 

[Miggs]

they don't have the pieces to get him.

What do you think Presti's asking price would be ? 2-3 FRPs 3 young players ??

Mitch is gonna be a UFA and reports are that NY has been trying to work out a deal all season but can't reach an agreement. They've been looking into alternatives all season too.

Mitch is good as gone from everything we’re reading. What’s Bamba gonna want? He can be got for 4/40 imo. If Detroit gets Mitch, Charlotte probably just resigns Harrell and that leaves Bamba SOL.

Wonder if Mitch has some animosity based on how the previous FO and his ex manager fleeced him

The first pick if they don't get it themselves.

It has to start there. It’s gonna take Chet Holmgren, 3 young guys and I’m gonna say 3 firsts unprotected to get Shai.

If anything, Dort is WAY more likely to get moved because he won't be cheap anymore after next year and if they're stockpiling so many picks then someone's spot will get taken and as of now it damn sure won't be Giddey's or SGA's.

Might as well draft Jaden Ivey than give away all that capital for shai.

Can’t believe we didn’t go after CJ McCollum. I know the team is putting all its eggs in the Donovan Mitchell basket but that’s going to almost be impossible to pull off.

This is what I haven’t liked the last few years we keep acting like we got a secret deal for a star but we really are gun shy or delusional to make a possible move for a talented piece that is actually available. We aren’t going to get a star or even a McCollum / Brogdon etc for nothing make a move address our holes or tank

give deuce some burn
