Fred Van Vleet ain't no damn superstar :mjlol: He's a good player that someone is about to overpay for and cripple their cap situation which is exactly why everyone thinks he's a Knick:heh:
Where did I say FVV was a superstar?:mjtf:

I’m talking last year. Something always set in stone for us and then when it don’t happen we get clowned on for no reason.

Do we really have to give y’all a pick? :shaq2:

Randle has a team option and partial guarantee if y’all don’t like him play him as your small ball 5.
A lot of people actually like Rozier. When his contract is up, the rebuild should be pretty much over with and most would like to see him alongside whatever group that happens to be.

There's no real urge to get rid of the guy. Batum and Zeller both come off the books after this year. Rozier would be the only guy keeping us near the salary floor and we'd have freedom to go any direction then too. These are the salaries of Charlotte Hornets players

If we're gonna move Rozier, it makes sense to wait til next year when he's closer to expiring. Unless the deal is really good or something.

You're comparing people talking about getting FVV to getting KD and getting their hopes up. There's a reason why everyone is safely assuming he'll be a Knick :mjlol:

So it looks like we're keeping Bullock. Probably letting Dot go.

I'd be shocked if we didn't keep Taj, but I remain hopeful.

Ellington, Payton and Portis have to be on their way out, which frees up a little under 30 mill or so.

If that's the case we're looking at a current depth chart of:

Mitch/Taj
Randle/Toppin/Wooten
Knox/Iggy
RJ/Bullock/Frank
Quickley/DSJ/Harper

Gotta imagine Randle and DSJ are on the chopping block.

If FVV isn't an option, based on our flirtation with Kira, that might be us signaling for a speedy guard. What speedy guard just became expendable because their team just drafted a point guard in the lottery and has ties to Kentucky? Enter De'Aaron Fox.

He's on his rookie scale so we probably can't get him straight up with any of our current crop 1-1 (barring RJ, which is a hell no) I wonder if Sacramento would do this -

Fox and Barnes

For

Randle, Knox and DSJ

Works on the trade machine.

Knicks swap a Wildcat for a Wildcat at the cost of absorbing Barnes' hefty contract. Sac goes all in to invest in Haliburton, have Knox as a potential replacement for Bogdan and DSJ for their downhill play and can use Randle at the small ball 5 or 4. Knicks get a PG for the future and makes his bytch ass pay us back for clowning us for our draft pick falling.

Just saying the contracts work. :yeshrug:

Mitch/?
Toppin/?
Barnes/Bullock/Iggy
RJ/Bullock/Frank
Fox/Quickley/Frank

Taj and Wooten?

Gallo and/or Wood?

Kidd-Gilchrist? Crowder?

:jbhmm:
