Knicks trade

Yes, there's almost no realistic way for them to avoid the tax next year.

My point stands though. If CJ is traded, there's no way that they are going deeper into the tax - so getting a large TPE would be just as beneficial (if not more) to Portland than having the ability to take back someone with 1.25x his salary

If they got Middleton or Siakam or someone on that level for CJ you don't think they'd go a few million more into the tax to do it?

If Olshey trades CJ in the off season you know he's run it by Dame. And if it picks coming back with not a player of CJ's caliber? Unless it free's up space to sign Norm?

Ideal for whom? A couple might be interesting, but would depend on the quality and timing of the future first round picks.

Towns

2 #1 picks

for

Dame + Nurkic

love Dame...but with the rest of our roster, I’d be enticed!

But I still prefer CJ + Nurkic for Towns and a pick

But I still prefer CJ + Nurkic for Towns and a pick

And I prefer Towns and a pick for a signed-and-traded max contract Melo.

Let's see if either of us gets their wish.
