I could see the Knicks doing this trade but just like last time the current roster would have to be struggling.

I mean they could go for a big three of Brunson/KAT/Giannis, but we seen so many big three’s fail due to the new CBA I also could see the Knicks wanting to send the Pacers KAT who doesn’t really fit with Turner.
Yeah, I've been thinking about this combo and it's incredibly lethal but also...what does that do to the apron situation? I need to know if there's some devious Brock Aller mathematics that could make it feasible.

It doesn’t really fit. The trade that makes the most sense to me is KAT + OG for Giannis and Kuzma. Kuzma is trash and it would hard cap the Knicks to the second apron

Mitch
Giannis
Yabu
Bridges
Brunson

Bench
Kuz
Hart
Mcbride
Clarkson

I don’t know if that is better than what we got. We lose a lot of shooting, have no real SF unless we play Bridges, Yabu, Kuz, or Giannis out of positions. I don’t know if Mitch and Giannis can play together either. The most natural trade for the Bucks, messes the Knicks up. If they send Bridges it’s slightly better but then we lowkey have an issue at SG and the shooting issues remain.

Flipside OG has a lot of value and the bucks can get a lot for KAT and/or Turner. They would be lovely for a rebuild.
Let his ass stay in Milwaukee, if we fail this year, then we can make a call to the Bucks...
I could see this being the most likely outcome but I think he is gone by then. The teams I could see do it the cavs, magic, or maybe the wolves…..

He better put his balls on the table and verbally say through his agent he formally requests a trade and his only desire is to play for the Knicks.

We ain’t doing this chasing after bytches who just want compliments and attention shyt anymore.
Even if he wanted to do that, the Bucks won't feel obligated to take on what would be 3 anvil deals in Anunoby or Bridges or Towns. You'd have to find a team that wants them AND can afford them without the apron gods striking down.

All three of them are out of that sweepstakes if you're talking about Giannis unless I'm confusing what player you're referring to for these three teams.

Honestly the fact Giannis wants to come to NY is a compliment. Motherfukkers is doing the math and see the Knicks as a legit contender.
True...but I'm still looking at him a bit sideways. And Sham is a bozo for dropping this story right now. Knicks don’t need anymore distractions. We already have lofty expectations, we don’t need this story hovering above our heads the whole season.

I think if he wants out those are the teams that could send the bucks trade packages based around a really good, young players like Mobley or Wagner or in the Wolves cases they send Randle and Reid with the knowledge the Bucks gonna flip them to other teams for draft picks later.

:hubie:I can’t think of other teams with guys who are young or guys who can be flipped for at least two draft picks each. Like if the Knicks send KAT and one of Bridge/OG they are getting flipped for draft picks later. Other teams are either old, too young to be contenders even if you add Giannis, or they aren’t messing with a good thing like the Thunder.
