Hold on now...getting an additional pick in the 2022 double draft is at least worth considering
That woujd be stupid . Give away the little promising talent we got for a draft pick ? That’s hustling backwards. You cannot give up on RJ this soon for a draft pick

Mitch still needs to provide more offensively and I love Mitch but you can't automatically hang up the phone when his name is mentioned. All things considered, I'm most likely gonna say no because it's the Warriors pick, but if most other teams offer this trade I'm probably taking it. If we can get that Minnesota pick though I'm thinking long and hard

When you watch the playoffs it’s crazy how far away the Knicks are when you think about it. Look at all the young stars shining. People like Luka Mitchell Murray Jokic Tatum Embiid etc. The Knicks don’t have anyone in the same ballpark as those guys.

Even a team like the suns who didn’t make the playoffs have Booker and Ayton. You PRAY that RJ will be as good a player that Booker is right now. So talking about anyone on the Knicks roster being untouchable is laughable

Those teams were built off of rookies. Just imagine if Booker and Ayton had 35 year old bums getting major minutes off of them during their sophomore year and everytime they fukked up in the 10 min per game, they were benched. That's shytty coaching. Those guys need significant minutes and good coaching to develop their confidence and skills. If not, put them in the D leagues temporarily and monitor their progress. If I don't see these rookies getting 35+min per game this next season, it's fukk the Knicks, I'm outta here permanently. The only 2 guys, I understood getting benched due to foul trouble were Frank and Mitch.

Knicks fans overrate their young players I mean you see how they are with Ntilikina.

Both those guys are assets but they aren't untradeable.

Mitchell Robinson is not untradeable he's a defensive oriented, rim runner with a serious foul issue. There's guys like Mitchell Robinson in every draft go look at Jaxson Hayes in New Orleans or Robert Williams in Boston. These players have a ceiling in terms of impact it's why Houston traded Clint Capela and why the Jazz may not max Rudy Gobert this offseason.

Mitchell is really good with potential but he's not untradeable. That word should only be reserved for franchise type players.

Booker and Ayton wouldn't have 35 year olds playing over them because they're different breeds of players.

Booker was an offensive polished young player who had more skill than Calipari allowed him to show. He was already a polished three zone scorer at like 19 years old, compared to R.J. who can't go right, can't shoot, and is a bully baller.

Ayton is offensively polished and physically gifted, Mitch is frail and can only catch lobs and interior clean up buckets. He's not posting up, he's not facing up, he's not stepping out and hitting midrange jumpers. How can you play when you foul 5 times per 36 minutes?
