By Koko Go To PostDamn. He gotta walk home or what?
By rodeoclown Go To PostThibs is going to want RJ traded after like two months anyway. He has no patience for a rebuild.It's a good thing the Knicks didn't give him full control then, man that would have been a disaster...
By i can get you a toe Go To PostCoaches can be poo but I'm over here like how GMs/Basketball Ops staying when they make the calls.Ownership probably thinks they gotta give Elton the chance to hire his own coach.

This is Brown telling his future employers that they can also throw him under the bus to save their jobs and he won't say shit.
By DY_nasty Go To PostWhat team wouldn’t want him? Lol
classic knicks
By aka Espi Go To PostWhat team wouldn’t want him? LolMore about the "we don't know if he's a good fit for our meh rookie" thing
By DY_nasty Go To PostMore about the "we don't know if he's a good fit for our meh rookie" thingI'm pretty sure the discussion, if their even was one, was whether they should try to play them together or get rid of RJ.
And how would over valuing a rookie over a big name trade target be a classic move for the Knicks who haven't signed one of their rookies to a second contract since the mid 90s? Come on at least make it make sense...
Pretty sure the Jazz are going to max Mitchell with an extension. What would the Knicks be able to give the Jazz to get him? He is still under contract for at least 1 more year even if they don't extend before the start of next season

I was going to say Lance Thomas, but I saw him playing for Brooklyn yesterday. Can't believe the Knicks let their best asset go across town.

He is still under contract for at least 1 more year even if they don't extend before the start of next seasonThey been hiring people that Mitchell is close to, i think they are going for the "Sign max deal then demand trade after a year" strategy.
I know the CBA hasn't been like it is now for all that long but can anyone think of a player that intentionally signed a 1 year deal to get out of their RFA?
By diehard Go To PostThey been hiring people that Mitchell is close to, i think they are going for the "Sign max deal then demand trade after a year" strategy.None that are max worthy. Greg Monroe and Ben Gordon are the two that come to my mind when I try to think of players that took the QO to avoid RFA.

By diehard Go To PostThey been hiring people that Mitchell is close to, i think they are going for the "Sign max deal then demand trade after a year" strategy.It happens quite a bit. Just doesn't work out all too well.

I mean it really wouldn't happen with Mitchell, if he really wanted out he would just take the max and demand a trade.
By diehard Go To PostThey been hiring people that Mitchell is close to, i think they are going for the "Sign max deal then demand trade after a year" strategy.If Mitchell maxes and demands a trade he has little control where he goes, so doesn't seem like a well put together plan.

By blackace Go To PostIf Mitchell maxes and demands a trade he has little control where he goes, so doesn't seem like a well put together plan.Tell that to AD and Paul George.
By blackace Go To PostPretty sure the Jazz are going to max Mitchell with an extension. What would the Knicks be able to give the Jazz to get him? He is still under contract for at least 1 more year even if they don't extend before the start of next seasonThe offer would probably start with RJ Mitch and the Knicks unprotected 21 pick (which is a damn good asset) but like I said this is a nothing story by an overzealous Knicks beat.
Only way it would possibly work is if Mitchell declined his extension and demanded a trade to his hometown team. The Knicks are positioning themselves to trade for the next disgruntled star but with how the playoffs are going so far I don't think Donovan is gonna want out.
By blackace Go To PostIf Mitchell maxes and demands a trade he has little control where he goes, so doesn't seem like a well put together plan.That's when you splash the plan with a little collusion sauce to make it work
By Kibner Go To PostTell that to AD and Paul George.if the team is going to give up a half a decade worth of 1st round picks and assets for a player then ok.
By diehard Go To PostThey been hiring people that Mitchell is close to, i think they are going for the "Sign max deal then demand trade after a year" strategy.This is partially true but I think Perrin and Byrant have connections to William Wesley independent of Donovan
By masud Go To PostThe offer would probably start with RJ Mitch and the Knicks unprotected 21 pick (which is a damn good asset) but like I said this is a nothing story by an overzealous Knicks beat.None of those things are worth a damn to the Jazz. lol Mitch? they have Gobert... 21 draft doesn't seem overly deep and D.Mitchell makes that pick worth less than it should be. RJ is ok as far as trade bait goes but he would basically be the shining jewel of that trade and that's not good.

the 21 and 22 drafts are gonna be ridiculous lol
any gm trading those projected lottery picks should just turn in their resignations now
any gm trading those projected lottery picks should just turn in their resignations now
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe 21 and 22 drafts are gonna be ridiculous lolit's just that Mitchell on the team probably makes the Knicks' pick much less valuable. If you knew you were getting a Cade or Jalen then the deal looks much sexier

By blackace Go To PostNone of those things are worth a damn to the Jazz. lol Mitch? they have Gobert… 21 draft doesn't seem overly deep and D.Mitchell makes that pick worth less than it should be. RJ is ok as far as trade bait goes but he would basically be the shining jewel of that trade and that's not good.First of all I said to start the trade would probably include like 4 more picks. And again this would be a situation where Donovan was trying to force himself to the Knicks specifically.
By blackace Go To Postit's just that Mitchell on the team probably makes the Knicks' pick much less valuable. If you knew you were getting a Cade or Jalen then the deal looks much sexierNot even just those guys. With the NCAA and international play being wacky, a lot of kids are just going to go all in on preparing for the pro days... All the reclassing going on right now in the US is insaaaaaaaaaaaane too.
With that in mind, I am once again putting my name into the 2020 NBA Draft. The fact that I'm 0 for 20-something years has not discouraged me one bit. My jumper is wet.
Assuming I'm shooting at a pool of some variety. Otherwise, no.

By DY_nasty Go To PostMore about the "we don't know if he's a good fit for our meh rookie" thingFuck that, i'd launch RJ into space to make room for Donovan
By pkaz01 Go To PostFuck that, i'd launch RJ into space to make room for Donovan
That's a bit violent, don't you think? Let's assume you're not a monster, are you at least giving my man RJ an oxygen tank, pressure suit, and a reliable parachute pack? And can I get some heat shields up in this motherfucker?

By DY_nasty Go To PostI'm looking at Anthony Edwards more and more and man…. All I see is....well damn
Bonzi Wells
yeah. Thats kinda spot on
Always watch the weakness videos.
if you don't die inside then thats your guy.
Was watching a RJ Hampton video and half of it was "he kinda sucks ass at a lot of stuff but dat youth doe"

By knux-future Go To PostAlways watch the weakness videos.His weakness video doesn't even concern me like that to be fair. Dude sucks at iso ball leading into final shots but honestly... If you're counting on any of this draft to hit your big shots you're fucking up.

But Hayes though? I don't see it AT ALL with him. I'm at a loss because even his highlights and strengths video looks mid.

FVV underrated as fuck. Just hope he doesn't end up in Detroit...
Fred VanVleet is expected to be one of the NBA's most coveted free agents this offseason. VanVleet re-signed with the Toronto Raptors in 2018 on a two-year, $18 million deal as a restricted free agent. VanVleet will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Sources that spoke with Shams Charania of The Athletic indicated that the Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns are expected to pursue VanVleet in addition to Toronto.
Bobby Marks of ESPN reported in December that VanVleet could command $25 million to $30 million per season in free agency.
