Official '24 NYK off-season thread; Brunson and Haliburton wrestling

[ballinsam23]

Leon really turned the same package for Spida into OG (we have to keep him) and Mikal. Greatest front office we ever had.

 

[keko jones]

It's a steep price, but it is what it is. If we gave up that much for Mikal, we're going all in for next year. We'll need to pay OG and Iheart, and we have to hope that everyone performs at the same level as they did last year.

I get the trade but really don't like giving up those picks in 29 & 31

Would have been way more comfortable if we had found a way to include our two first rounders this year in this crap draft

 

[keko jones]

Brunson
Bridges
OG
Randle
Mitchell

Duece
Ragu
Josh
Precious
IHeart

Is that the plan?

 

[ballinsam23]

From everything I'm reading one of OG, Randle, Mitch, or iHart wont be here in a week.

Yeah this is what I said yesterday - no one wants picks in this draft though lol

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Yea I just feel like we gave up such a haul that we should have at least gotten something else back -- DFS would have been a nice add-on.

 

[ballinsam23]

We cant take back more salaries. A 3rd team has to be involved at this point.

it'll be either iHart or Mitch. i don't see us moving Randle, and there's no way Leon traded IQ and RJ for a rental. my money is on Mitch being traded to NO.

I am thinking we keep the team as is and resign OG... not sure we have the cap space to keep Ihart too... as much as I like him I like mitch better even though hes injury prone... he plays elite defense and can rebound...ihart is a better all around center but not sure hes worth all the cap space... rather just roll the dice and draft a young big tonight

i think Mitch is easier to replace though. other than what you mentioned, he gives us nothing on offense. an athletic big that can block shots and rebound for 18-20mpg isnt too hard to find.

 

[you go boy]

^ I agree but he's also on a more team friendly contract... I doubt we can resign ihart for the same price as mitch

definitely not. i think we're guaranteed to trade Mitch if the FO is bent on keeping iHart.

We'll keep one in the 20's & move the others

 

[joebo21]

Can't fault these guys for wanting to get paid when they get the chance...

but hopefully Ihart takes less to stay

 

[ballinsam23]

Highest paid Knick ever?

**** it. Not my money.

Start saving for them June 2025 tickets fam
