How many think that the Knicks will use their billion picks for any significant move ??
I just hope it is not for a re-tread or an aging player.
I also hope that they don't trade Obi for a late first rounder - Obi is most likely better. He just needs time and better handling.
Glad they did not get Beal.....not interested in KAT either - too injury prone; a RESOUNDING NO for Westbrook - that would be going backwards.......
Embid for sure !! Worth the picks and a couple of utes.
Zion - only if it does not empty their stash of picks and utes, he is injury prone - Simmons equivalent !!!
Paul George is intriguing, though he is also injury prone and is 33.

I’d stay away from Zion Beal and Leonard …Levine I’d be interested in … George to but I wouldn’t give up the farm … they’ll do something though .. they got f outta draft pick …. Dallas shoulda been forced to give for tanking

I predict they will be trading their picks for coffee and bagels for the front office !!

Dallas shoulda been forced to give for tanking Absolutely, I bet their fear was setting a precedent that they wouldn't be able to consistently enforce...

Thanks, Rog.
Looks like a long season ahead for our squad. But some good pieces are in place.

Can someone explain to me what protected and if not already settled means
2024 draft
DAL Top-10 protected
DET Top-18 protected (if pick is not already settled from prev year) (via HOU to OKC) WAS Top-12 protected (if pick is not already settled from prev year) (via HOU to OKC)

Thanks. It’s even more complicated than I thought.

Corrected:
The protected pick is straight forward, right ? It can also be extended to future years if agreed to in original.trade.
They cover the DET situation in the article and my understanding is as follows:
If Detroit winds up with the 19th pick, the knicks can wait till next year to claim the pick.
If Detroit till gets a pick below 18 in 2024, then in 2025, the pick is only protected through 13. So, if Detroit selection is 14th in 2025, the Knicks can claim that (they will have moved up 4 spots in one year).
Otherwise, they can wait till 2026 when the protection is only through 11 picks. If Detroit selection is 12th in 2026, the Knicks can claim that (they will have moved up 6 spots in two years).
The number of years it can go on seems to depend on what was agreed in the trade package.
Hope that was helpful...

That helps.
I haven’t really gotten interested in basketball this century.
Knicks got me interested last year. Hopefully they are able to build in it.

A lot of talk about Mikail Brodges that is confusing. He is not a FA, right ?? And the Nets wouldn't trade him to the Knicks of all teams, would they ?? Would be thrilled to get Anunoby ! Better to get Embiid - both would cost a lot. Then KAT...Zion would be my last choice, though he could be the best of the bunch. His ability to stay on the court is along the lines of Simmons and that scares me They need help up front.

Knick’s could use a good 3 point shooter.
