    That doesnt mean anything wes is a known harden irritant. Just cause he gives harden problems doesnt mes he would make up for the defense we lack....length.

    I love it! Mirotic and Matthews would be perfect with this team. Maybe DJ on a buyout. If CP can stay healthy, that team would have a great chance against anybody.

    Not a big fan of Matthews. Never impressed with him. Kind of fat.

    Yeah, let's get even older, and less athletic....that is a great idea as we watch all these young teams who play hard spank our ass.

    We lost to Jahlil freaking Okafor, got killed by Joel Embiid, embarassed by Jokic, and probably get blown out by Rudy Gobert and company... should I continue?
    Capela is out for another month and this team is looking like it’s about to run out of gas. They can’t defend, can’t rebound, can’t block shots, and are getting killed on the offensive boards.
    You need a guy like DJ to come in and control the paint while Capela is out and have Faried come off the bench for energy. When Capela comes back you start Capela and bring in DJ as his backup so that you can have the same offense running while Capela is off the court.
    Faried can play spot minutes, help PJ at the 4 and play a small lineup when we face teams like GS.
    3 bigs is never a bad thing especially when Capela can’t seem to play more than 30 minutes.

    Mirotic would get exposed in the playoffs defensively but so did Ryan Anderson... at least Mirotic would show up offensively.

    Too small. Needs some one in Ariza mode. 6'8 with long arms. Decent at 3.

    No the Knicks made that trade to clear cap space, have the opportunity to draft Zion, and bring in KD and Kyrie this summer.

    If they can't find any by the trade deadline, I'm sure these two will be sought out by us

    Now they have an opportunity to add Davis to the list this summer. They can't get all 3 ,but at least he is considering them

    NY will not be trading for Knight because he is not expiring. NY is advertising that separately DJ and Matthews are available in trade to perhaps pick up a 2nd or two but realistically probably don't find a suitor that works because of roster spots. Those are large contracts and the only team with acceptable expirings and cap space is really Sac. I think they end up failing on deals and then buy them out. NY needs to continue tanking. NY did this early to kick the tires on AD and still have flexibility until Thursday.

    House > Matthews > Ennis

    I'm fine with adding Wes but bringing back House is still a bigger priority

    Wes could be a good pickup, but it will be a buyout from what I'm told. Or, he and DJ are just going to suffer 30 some games so the Knicks have room to sign ...someone.

    According to Spotrac Knight is an expiring at $14 mill. Unless it’s a typo.

    He isn’t an expiring til next year. He doesn’t become a FA until the 20-21 season. If he was an expiring this year, he would be a lot easier to move without adding draft picks
