Such limited upside with how protected with that Charlotte pick is. Not sure it was even worth it, but maybe they use it for a future trade or something. The Knicks tried everything to move up into the lottery but I guess this was the best they could do. They were never going to carry 3 rookies, so turning 1-2 of the picks into other assets was always going to happen, but the way they did it was just a big meh. Grimes can shoot though, so he could be a gem. I dunno, weird draft all around for the league tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably mostly draft and stash. I don't think they are expecting the Lithuanian dude to come over this year. The last two probably Summer League to G-league like they've done for second rounders in the past. Grimes they'll carry and seems like insurance for if they can't keep Bullock. All reports today are they tried like hell to move up for Suggs when he fell and were bent on trading up for Duarte but nobody bit. I'm apt to believe it all because there were no trades that took place before pick 16 which is weird AF. Everyone in the top 15 was cool where they were and weren't interested in the Knicks latter half picks. Can't blame the Knicks for that. Seems like the Knicks accepted the inevitable and rather than draft a bunch of guys they couldn't carry they kicked the can down the road in order to keep assets on the books. Underwhelming for sure but when you look at the way everything played out this was just a sh*tty draft to be outside the lottery unless you had vets or good contracts to include in an offer, which the Knicks don't. Outside of them making a miracle happen on draft night this offseason was always going to be about free agency anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Just a theory here but with how quiet the Knicks were last night it's hard to fathom that something big is not in the works. Randle in his prime, the team's hot on Thibs, and the Bucks showed anything can happen in the East for the next few years. Knicks already had a bunch of draft capital so that Charlotte deal screams of stacking chips for a deal. Ball or Lillard? Beal seems like a longshot but who knows with Washington. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Paul it's hard to fathom any free agents taking a big chunk of that pie. Not too many top tier guys. Maybe they splurge on Dinwiddie or Fournier but unless Rose changes course I doubt he gives them the type of deal they are looking for. If the Knicks can't land Paul they'll shoot their shot on a trade or two and pay Noel and Bullock, but if they can't make someone like Lillard or Beal happen they will bank a lot on 22 and 23 when the free agency pools are much deeper.

32EBoozer Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Frank NTilikina not being offered a Q.O. Means he’ll be a FA. Charlie Ward Curse will Have to Wait Charlie Ward isn’t necessarily a household name among NBA fans, but for the New York Knicks and their following, he represents an ineptitude within the front office’s scouting department that goes back years. Since he left the team via trade in 2004, no rookie has signed a second contract to return to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 So, I missed it. Do we still think the draft is going to push the Knicks to the 2nd round and beyond? Weird draft. The Nets made a bunch of moves and ended up with 5 players. I think Thomas, Sharpe and the kid out of Pepperdine all have a shot to contribute, but all the picks scream of more moves being on the way. Shame to move on from Shamet. He was a weird looking/awkward dude to watch, but he had some game. They moved on so they wouldn't have to pay him, but I assume he will help the Suns out.

RutgersJetFan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Fournier to Knicks heating up a lot. Twitterverse says somewhere around 3/54. BR also reporting Noel and Burks will be back at MSG. That's huge and a massive W for the Knicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Lonzo to Chicago on a 4/85 sign-and-trade deal. I like Ball a lot as a player but good lord that is some number. Wonder if that increases the likelihood of Rose back with the Knicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Burks 3/$30 million Noel 3/$32 million Those are fantastic contracts. $10 million a year is not what it used to be, I think it's the MLE now. Especially for what Noel brings to the table with Robinson's injuries. Locking up both those guys was just as important as anything for the Knicks and getting them at to reasonable deals at the outset is very unknicksey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Lowry to Miami and Paul back with Phoenix. Looks like Bullock to Mavs which is a bummer but if that means the Knicks get Fournier that’s fine and IMO they probably like Grimes as a replacement for Bullock anyways. Also that Paul contract is absurd and is going to absolutely suuuuuck for Phoenix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Fournier to Knicks done. 4 year deal at $78 million but 4th year is an option. Knicks overpaid but he's a great addition, really exactly the type of guy they needed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Rose locked up for 3/$43 million. That is really a bunch of years and it looks like the Knicks are comfortable with running it back. Barring major trades this is the squad the Knicks are rolling with for the next few years. They must be pretty confident in Fournier. I think they should prioritize bringing Taj back now. I'm a bit mixed on all of this but it's clear they are confident in their younger guys continuing to develop and that's something I can certainly get behind. Maybe they move Barrett eventually but with his work ethic I'm going to remain hopeful he continues to round out. Not taking into account the growth of the young guys this is a better team than last year so it's hard to complain about much but RJ, Quickley, and Toppin better step it up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving fast on locking up Rose at that salary was a solid consolation prize. At least this time around is Leon is keeping their options open when things don't work out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
