OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[floodarea]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Ainge tries to flip Lauri and Sexton

don’t think sexton can be traded for awhile since he just signed his new deal via sign & trade

could be wrong tho

 

[d3si]

Wild

Jazz got Agbajj as well

 

[floodarea]

anyway

 

[Master Zik]

Can we trade Randle now?

 

[ballinsam23]

We weren’t gonna beat that offer. Ainge got what he wanted.

 

[Coupé It]

so we calling ainge a mastermind for this haul?

Yes I think it’s a good trade for them honestly.

They’re going to flip Sexton. Get some more.

 

[donewithjs]

So what are we doing with all these 1st rounders then?

 

[keko jones]

That's actually a good package, we have better picks, but player wise, they did good.

Sexton seems to have issues though, so ...

 

[floodarea]

the player package is better than ours sure but it’s still no fleece or anything close imo

they’ll obviously keep agbaji but it really depends on what they get for sexton and lauri

 

[floodarea]

these casual sports media outlets couldn’t wait to clown us for not getting mitchell

get ready for the inevitable stephen a loud shouting tantrum in the next few hours

the cycle continues

 

[ballinsam23]

So what are we doing with all these 1st rounders then?

This is what it comes down to. We dont use them to draft players and we don’t trade them when the time comes.

Interesting direction we’re headed.

Maybe if this season is a wash we can package them to move up in a stacked draft? Idk.

Knicks were gonna be called dumb for trading for Donovan Mitchell.

Now, we gonna hear how Knicks are dumb for not trading for Donovan Mitchell.


Epic Stephen A Smith rant incoming

 

[keko jones]

I don't really care what the media says ... we did good. We upgraded our PG amd still have all our picks going forward. What we do with them, Leon has shown what we do. If a good player falls to us, we pick them, if not we flip then for future picks. If our team do good, we identify what need / area we could improve and trade. I think we really are in a way better position that we have been in decades.

TG thats finally over with. the Cavs were a playoff team before Donovan, and they'll likely be one with him, so those picks are going to be in the 20s. Donavon likely wont sign an extension their anyway, so there's no real winner in this trade long term. maybe the Cavs short term, but i dont see them winning the East.

exactly. for once, we didnt succumb to the pressure. staying the course, improving our players, while still being competive-ish, AND acquiring/keeping future assets.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Glad that’s over.

 

[you go boy]

I'm happy there's closure now so don't have to worry or think about this anymore... kinda wish we did the deal but defensively we would suck...I have a feeling thibs and or Leon is next to go if we don't make the playoffs... wasn't the point of getting Leon is so we can sign/trade for stars under CAA?

[Mark Antony]

Yeah ga'head and hat it up till you get some more growth on those braids.

 

[big j 33]

Without RJ in the package that one beats ours. Can't be too mad. Now it's over at least

 

[ilike turtles]

I wasn't crazy about us trading for Mitchell in the first place, but I ESPECIALLY didn't want him if it meant giving up RJ. Knicks did the right thing, the Cavs can have him.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

I like Mitchell but he wasn’t going to elevate us to contenders to give up 5 picks and 3 players.

 

[Spectacular23]

I said then in july, when jazz ask for some young players and didnt want RJ, and they wanted 5-6 picks, i said we trash at drafting players, aside fom RJ and KP, we're not good, im alright giving away all those picks if we get donovan. we should did the trade when they wanted Quick, evan, tobi and picks.

 

[don ramon]

priority #1 now should be getting rid of randle. can't have someone that needs the ball all the time to be effective playing on this team when other players don't have the same needs and get treated differently. this team becomes more dynamic and together without him. if they can't make this happen, then i feel like the ship for the knicks suits will begin to sail ever closer to failure
