Then if we could just get rid of Vuc, say maybe trade straight up for Jeremy Lin and it looks like the beginnings of a plan. Alternatively, we could do Vuc for Faried & #14, but I'm not sure if that would work for salary matching reasons. Id actually do both of these. Lin was probably at his best in Charlotte under Clifford (Linsanity excluded) and Faried is the kind of grit and hustle we need to set the tone for what our identity and culture should be, even if he's not around after this season. Then pick Carter at 6 and Zhaire Smith at 14. Augustin/Lin Ross/Simmons/Smith Isaac/Ross/AG AG/Faried Carter/Biyombo/Faried That's a solid 10 man rotation of defense and athleticism with some splashes of shooting. It wouldn't score a great deal but if Clifford can get them playing defense, rebounding and cutting down the turnovers it's a team that would fight every night.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Denver is looking to cut salary so that when they resign jokic this off-season (due to a weird cba rule it's advantageous to do that this year) they remain under the luxury tax. Faried is their highest paid player that isn't in their future plans. So the best possible trade we can offer them is Mack and Simmons for faried which cuts 7.7 million. However, this trade would leave them right at the luxury tax with only 12 players on roster. Would they do it? Maybe. Simmons would be a decent Barton replacement. But is that the best deal they could find? Probably not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faried expires next summer so not sure why they'd want to give up a lotto pick. They could just stretch him. edit: Trae4thewin said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman 58 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Vuch would be an excellent insurance policy if anything ever happened to the Joker. He's a real good offensive player and if you put him out there in lineups with Milsap and Wilson Chandler they could compensate for his defense. It might work for them, the question is can the get something better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 Quote Despite the Knicks picking ninth in the June 21 NBA Draft, Oklahoma star point guard Trae Young has decided to give them a private workout at the team facility in Tarrytown, according to an NBA source. At the NBA Draft Combine earlier this month, Young said he wasn’t sure if he’d work out for the Knicks, who interviewed him there in Chicago. An NBA source said Young will work out for “a handful’’ of clubs, and his schedule is still being mapped out. On Wednesday, Young held his “Pro Day” workout in Thousand Oaks, Calif., which the Knicks attended. An NBA source said Knicks scout Matt Harding recently visited the Norman, Okla., campus to interview coaches, professors and trainers about Young. Young, who became the first player as a freshman to lead Division I in scoring (27.4 points) and assists (8.7 assists), is projected to go in many mock drafts at No. 6, where Orlando selects. The Magic traded Elfrid Payton and can use a point guard. Knicks GM Scott Perry said the club isn’t against trading up a few notches in the draft. Young was considered a consensus top-3 pick amid Stephen Curry comparisons and LeBron James’ compliments. But Young, who turns 20 in September, suffered through a significant late-season swoon amid questions about his turnovers and defense. Despite the Knicks’ point-guard glut, and after drafting Frank Ntilikina last June at No. 8, sources have indicated the 6-foot-1 Young is heavily on their radar if he falls to No. 9 because of his high upside. According to one advanced analytic, Young shot 35.59 percent on shots that would count as 3’s in the NBA. https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/trae-young-surprisingly-grants-knicks-a-workout/?utm_source=twitter_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site buttons&utm_campaign=site buttons I might be interested in swapping picks if they include their unprotected 2019 pick. They'll be pretty bad without Porzingis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can swap one year and trade the next - you just can't trade away both without getting a first back in one of the two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll be pretty bad without Porzingis. It the Knicks are willling to give us a #9 pick plus an unprotected 2019 pick for Trae Young I would think that over carefully. No one will give up that much value unless they were convinced a player could play in the NBA. I would only do it if player we want is there at #9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
