what would he do that burks isnt?

yal have these thoughts that everyone else is better than what they are
we got like 5 sg's or players that can play that position. we need big wings or center help
the only way he could conceivably help is if he took away minutes from payton...but that wouldnt even happen with thibs

He’s a better shooter and a way better playmaker. Our biggest problem is we have a lot of guys playing up a level of importance. Burks and Bullocks are cool vets. I’ve come around a lot on them, but the fact that we rely on them so much to succeed is not good. Bullock isn’t a starter. He’s a 7th or 8th man on a good team. Burks is a 6th man through and through. But he shouldn’t be our second or third most important player at the close of games. Getting a guy like Fournier who could have been a legit third piece next to RJ and Julius puts guys back into their proper roles.

I’m gonna have to look into that

so you’re telling me there’s a chance


Do it Lavine

So the best way for the Knicks to get Lavine is to maintain cap space for 2022.

It’s too early but cap wise it’s possible right now. Keep in mind that means they can only spend about 20 Million, and will have to trade some of the youth. They could trade that youth to facilitate a Lavine trade as well.

Do it Lavine

Zach LaVine will become eligible to sign an extension with the Chicago Bulls in the offseason, but it will be limited to a four-year, $104 million contract. If LaVine waits until free agency in 2022, he could sign a four-year, $155 million deal with a rival team.

The reality of LaVine's extension situation means the Bulls will almost certainly have to wait for him to become a free agent for his future to be settled, which could make them more strongly consider a trade than they would otherwise.

Zach LaVine's Extension Would Be $51M Less Than Waiting For 2022 Free Agency

I think you can afford Lonzo even with this scheme...it's impossible to predict player movement that far out, but it'd be a fun scenario.

Fournier isn’t that good.

The gap between he and Burks isn’t really that big.

Tough matchups back to back for Barrett with Jimmy and Edwards

Two SG’s who can match R.J.’s strength and are competitive

Your right . We need a high caliber shooter to pair with Randle Rj and Mitch. Like brogdon to really space the floor

This fits my “just get a big guy for the oversized Centers that push our boys around” thing. He plays big and can fill-in for spells.
