If the Knicks can get the 4th pick for Randle ,11 & two unprotected future 1sts I think we can beat that!

jc plus 16, Hunter and future 1st blows that offer out of the water!

trae/lou

ivey/bogi

kevin/jj

Oo/jj

ayton/?

That would be epic!

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. 

You expect a man who has not shot a midrange jumper since he became a pro.. to develop a midrange game?

Yall kill me with this piss poor thinking. 

Ivey.. rookie?  You expecting him to be AntMan??  Then why is he 4th in a draft where they can't decide who should be first because each player has flaws???

I wouldn't trade JC straight up for the #1 pick in this draft let alone #4.

The draft is weak.  If this draft was merged when Trae's year happened. Only 2 would go top 10. Possibly no one top 5.

I'm quite serious. Your anti Collins agenda has went from being "Aw, its cute the new guy doesn't like our second best player" to just plain silly. There's no Lebron or Zion or AD clear cut #1 option this draft. Jabari might be good, he might not. Chet is the one outside of Daniels I am really high on but that dude is 7'1" and doesn't even weigh 200 pounds. In my head he might be the modern Kevin Garnett but he also could be any random Euro white guy that was around seven foot with a nice jumper but was soft as Charmin and couldn't stick.

Paolo is good but he looks like he might at max ceiling be what JC already is. Ivey is overrated. 

So unless we could draft Chet in a scenario and commit to him at PF while still getting Ayton or Gobert at center to make up for his lack of weight I'm fine with keeping JC. I like Dyson Daniels too but he's not worth Collins.

You might do that next year when you have a stronger class and the first class that can have High Schooler in it.  That package is for that not for this.

Dean, I have a question for you.  Have you look at the players that is coming out next year? Because if you did not, you might need to check it out and get back with us once you are done.

Teams have been sniffing around Landry Fields. This move prevents that.

I'm no insider, but all I'm seeing on the interwebs are same regurgitated crap - Hawks interested in Ayton, Gobert, Lavine, Hawks looking for a lottery pick for JC.

 

Teams seeking a starting center may include the Toronto Raptors, Pistons, Trail Blazers and Hornets. Some sources believe the San Antonio Spurs (Jakob Poeltl), Chicago Bulls (Nikola Vucevic), Hawks (Clint Capela, John Collins), Pacers (Turner) or even Kings (Richaun Holmes, Harrison Barnes) could look to swap out existing players for one of the top available centers via trade.

Scotto: The Toronto Raptors are not looking to trade OG Anunoby, league sources told HoopsHype. For Toronto to consider trading Anunoby, it would have to be a substantial trade package for the soon-to-be 25-year-old forward along the lines of a noteworthy upgrade at center or a top-10 draft pick.
