Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4304391, member: 1969"] I assume if the Knicks start to roll, they will be heavy in the tax, so wouldn't worry too much about RJ Barrett's next contract. The strategy would probably be flipping one player with bigger contract and young/draft capital (Brunson or Barrett) to get someone beside Mitchell (and one of Brunson or Barrett). The problem is Its hard to do 2 all-in trades in the current environment because you are tied up so many picks and swaps in the first one. I guess if the Knicks could somehow get away with 2 unprotected + 2 protected + 1 swap in this Mitchell deal, that leaves them 2+2+1 for a future trade if they flip one of Brunson or Barrett. [/QUOTE]
