Felton to the Knicks via S&T?

[VanillaGorilla]

Wow, kid is impressive. If we were to nab him for a player who was going to be nowhere near our roster this year (Felton), that would be a great deal by Olshay. Do due diligence and watch some video of Kostas, great talent.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say he won't amount to anything in the NBA. He wouldn't be able to score in the NBA, lacks too much athleticism.

I just like that he's another white guy -- can't have enough of 'em I say

It's got a nice ring.

Papanikolaou seems to only have decent athleticism once he gets going full speed. Reminds me of Rudy, but probably not as athletic as Rudy. He severely lacks explosiveness without a head of steam.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I really, really want him on the team; Mike Rice is going to be so goddamned funny this year trying to say all these names (Lillard, Leonard, Papanikolaou, Claver ...) it's gonna be great.

DeMarcus Aldridge was my favorite blip of his last year.

Maybe you should change your user-name to Kostas Cub.

In the Raymond Felton deal in which a source told The Post spells the end of Jeremy Lin in New York, the Knicks gave up their second-round pick Kostas Papanikolaou of Olympiakos, selected 48th on June 28th.

Nice.

For 3 or 4 seasons, VB was a stud!

His problems with the bottle sunk him.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Before the lock out he was a 20/10/20PER guy.

I'm still not sure why we did this deal unless it is either a part of a bigger deal, or it was purely to dump Kurts contract.

Maybe to open a roster spot at Center (without having to buy out Thomas) so that we can sign Joel to the minimum to be the elder center?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I gave bum gouge before. Coon says new CBA lets you package S&T players now. So we "could" send Ray at 3/10 S&T and Thomas for Gadzuric and, say, 3/10 Jeffries (only 1st yr guaranteed).

So it could end up being Felton and Thomas for Jeffries (bought out?), Gadzuric (non-guaranteed), Papanikoulou, 2nd and enough cash for Jeffries' salary.

Let this marinate for a second or two people ... Raymond Failton is actually going to be used to acquire a player that may actually be marginally useful on an NBA roster. Anybody think that would have been possible in the depths of February?

Sure. Last year was a train wreck for Portland and for most of its players. It's not shocking that the Knicks think it was an outlier and Felton will bounce back.

(He is ball-shaped, after all, so it should be easier to bounce back.)

WOrks for me. The knicks have never been known for being the smart franchise.

Ole trying to look busy without doing anything meaningful. I should have known better than to have a tiny shred of optimism about this guy.

 

[Sinobas]

Ok, so what exactly did this gain us? I thought we were clearing some space, but we got Jefferies back who earns more than Thomas this year. A 2nd round pick in 2016? Why are the Blazers interested in this Papaulkuioiouo when they already have Freeland and Claver?

or use him as a ball. Those fancy leather ones are spendy.

Diebler may go to NY in the deal, per Quick.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Makes sense with Williams and Barton on board.

As @jwquick is reporting Blazers basically giving up k. Thomas for jeffries, gadzuruc, two euros and $. #ripcity #blazers

And we helped NY acquire a player they couldn't otherwise sign.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I'm not totally clear on Jared but it appears the Knicks are paying his salary as well?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Even if there's a10% chance these guys are decent, we got them for Ray Felton. Ray. Felton.
