I don’t think it’s a bad trade.
We still need to make another move though.

They really need to hop on this.
Youre building an identity.
You wont ever out offense a Giannis Dame Middleton, or a Tatum KP Jaylen. Might as well go all in on defensive stoppers.
OG and Dejounte compliment this lineup very well.

Literally just as mediocre of a roster as the Knicks
How so? A lot of yall were banging on the table for IQ to start and now he gets the chance. He was playin the Brunson role in Dallas. Assuming that his production increases as a starter, Raps have a capable shooter/scorer in Trent, young wings in Barnes and RJ, Siakam, and a serviceable center than can do more than just rebound. Take the favorite team bias aside and we honestly just have Brunson, Randle (depending on his mood), and now OG who wants 40mil/year. Lost our sixth man, so now we’re relying on Grimes to get it together. Yeah, we have PF depth with Precious now, but trading RJ AND IQ made this a bit of a lateral move for us. OG still gonna play behind 2 ball dominant lefties and we still don’t have a backup C. Oh wait, we have Taj…

OG's agent is Leon's son. Makes sense lol.

The Don Mitchell trade wouldn’t have made sense since we already have Brunson and that dude is a killer for us

We have no more assets to make another trade.... Our first rounds are nothing unless we include our own... Nobody wants Fournier or Grimes... Quickley was our best asset and we just traded him

We’re going after Donovan Mitchell now.
That I’m damn near sure of.
Not this season. But in the Summer or by next seasons deadline. Cavs know he’s gone. They’ll have no leverage.

Grimes and Fourniers expiring will get you someone good
Any trade we make for that "superstar" is involving Randle and all our picks.
We still have assets.

My only problem is IQ should’ve gotten you a difference maker

Might as well trade our first rounds because we know Thibs ain't playing whoever we draft lmfao.

No doubt IQ going to ball but on this team he wasn’t going to get those minutes and RJ is addition by subtraction and that’s factual and OG doesn’t need the ball to be effective. OG is not getting 40 mil and he knows it, word was he didn’t want be in TO any more so why not shoot high. Who’s more important a starting SF who REALLY is a defensive cat and can score more efficiently than RJ without needing the ball or a 6th man?

That remains to be seen. OG hasn’t had to play with guys like Brunson or Randle yet. He’s also coming into an iso heavy offense. We all know that trades can look good on paper, but the fit isn’t always right. In theory, OG should be an upgrade over RJ, but we need bench scoring. We’ve won games bc of IQ. Now we’re going to rely on guys who can’t get their own shot off. I’m not super optimistic about this trade, but I hope I’m wrong. Just feels like we didn’t really improve by trading both guys for one.

Losing Quickley sucks, but we didn’t give up a single first round pick in the deal
Need to get another ballhandler. Murray does make more sense now

For the position we're in, it's a move we had to make.
Being too patient while everyone around you is getting better gets you nowhere.

Do you think IQ is good enough to take that next step like Brunson? Brunson was dominating in the games Luka was out and showed that ability early. IQ has gone off in a few games where he started but he's also had some really poor games where he started and looked lost. I think he'll be a solid 18/8 starting PG but not like a 25/10 guy that makes a team a contender
