Fixing the Knicks
Re: Fixing the Knicks
The blowup with Spike just as new Exec arrives...
Re: Fixing the Knicks
Repeating earlier thoughts, if they keep anyone, it probably should Payton, Randle, Barrett, Robinson. But I'd be ok moving them too.
Re: Fixing the Knicks
Lots of Knicks analysis / recommendations today at @bballstrategy. Lineup analysis, roster moves...
Re: Fixing the Knicks
If there are factions, Payton / Randle and Barrett & whoever (maybe Robinson?), that is a tougher choice to me than for some other voices. Maybe get rid of both. Barrett's opinions and preferences would have not have much weight with me given how poorly he played and what I think of his potential.
Re: Fixing the Knicks
K Lewis will not be available at 27. Will have to trade up for him.
Knicks should consider taking Haliburton if available at their high pick. If not, consider taking Vassell there or doing a modest trade down for him.

Re: Fixing the Knicks
Someone on the net (I forget who) was talking about the Knicks trying to get D Mitchell. They might try. I dunno if the Jazz could be talked into it. I'd see what the Knicks would offer. Barrett in such a deal or not? Could be the pivotal issue. Not sure I'd make that the deal breaker though.
Re: Fixing the Knicks
Mitchell would not me a target to receive for me.
Trade him? Sure, for a decent or better haul. They are unlikely to though.

Re: Fixing the Knicks
Haven't heard anything I'd call encouraging. Is Leon Rose going to stay secluded or is this just a quiet preamble?
Re: Fixing the Knicks
Payton Barrett Randle Robinson is probably the core based on sub-lineup data, unless any of these are traded.
Need to mix a shooter in there. Current or new.

Re: Fixing the Knicks
To the previously mentioned 4, add Gibson and Harmless Harkless for now. Be willing to trade almost any (except Robinson) but I'd plan to play 4 of these 6 as much as possible next season.
These 6 were in 2 of the 3 best 5 man lineups and the 2 by far best quads and trios.
Change as much as they want about everything else.

Re: Fixing the Knicks
Many of moves by Knicks emphasize being well-connected and "cool". And There is Thibodeau. How will these mesh?
