How worried are you the Knicks will try to make a trade with the Lakers or Cavs to trade Barrett for Reddish and assets.It was, and it wasn't. If they didn't tank quite as hard and finished second or third worst, they'd be much worse off.
I think Barrett and Morant are roughly similar prospects, with Zion on another level. So the Knicks at least staying in the top 3 is good. And getting the Dallas pick to convey to Atlanta, meaning it's a year closer that the dallas picks convey to them, is nice. I'm heartbroken that we can't get Zion, but I think today is like a 7 out of 10 for the Knicks
Personally I wish the Knicks got Morant if they didn’t get Zion, but what ya gonna do.

Barrett plays the same position as Durant.I wasn't until now. That's a terrifying scenario. I can see them shopping the pick in a Davis trade. But we have some future assets due to us (Dallas picks) so they shouldn't be looking to make a deal like that. Of course, that's never really stopped them before
Barrett plays the same position as Durant.
Knicks need a SG or stronger wing player to go with Durant.
Reddish doesn’t fit either.
I think the Knicks deal the pick for a veteran if Durant is coming.
Very true. I wouldn’t be mad at getting Barrett though.
Maybe the Knicks can find another PG who plays in the French league and averages 4 points to take with the 3rd pick.RJ Barrett isn’t better than Zion.
The Knicks being the Knicks could take Cam Reddish for all we know.
Pelicans can't make the deal unless Mitch is included#3 and whatever/whoever you want that’s not named Mitch, for AD.
Re Zion... I wanted Zion in NY selfishly, but this is just such a lame landing spot for the most hyped player since Lebron.

Really curious to see what the Grizzlies do. Bit of a wild card.
I thought I had read that the Pelicans were not fans of Knox. Mitch, the 3, a future pick and whoever else they want. It's going to be the best deal they get.As a Pelicans fan, It's #3, Knox and Robinson and cap filler at a minimum.
Knicks have Mavs pick unprotected in 2021.
So it the package has to be 3, the 2021 Mavs pick, and 2023 Mavs pick, Knox, Smith Jr.

That and Mitch would probably do it. It's going to be painful to acquire Davis. It's a bidding war. The Pels may want to try and get the PG from Carolina instead of Barrett as well.
I think it's going to get stupid.
PG is a 2nd tier need. If Holiday isn't going to be the PG then they need to have a bigger PG next to him. Can't be having a 6'4 SG with a 6'3 PG though Holiday is a beast on defense.
True. Still like a combo of Smart/Tatum/Brown as well but who knows. I like Peyton as a back up though.
It seems that Knicks are now at the front of the line
Don't know how anyone would have a clue who Griffin is a fan of since he was just hired a few weeks ago. Really just comes down to if they prioritize getting the absolute best asset possible or best package. Celts might still have the 2 best assets with Tatum and the Griz pick though I'd probably slot the Knicks pick now ahead of that Griz pick. After that it's probably Ingram. Simmons was always an interesting idea but him and Zion couldn't possibly play together and succeed in the playoffs together. Would be fun to see them overwhelm teams in the regular season though.
