He was 2-8 against with a -10.3 ppg differential against the Warriors in the Finals without Kyrie. 

He was 5-7 against with a -2.5 ppg differential against the Warriors in the Finals with Kyrie.

2015 and 2018 were pretty lopsided in terms of surrounding talent.

Sign Fred VanVleet

Draft Devin Vassell at #8 

Draft Grant RIller at #27

Draft Isaiah Joe at #38

You'd be adding a starting PG that's an improving playmaker as well as a 40% shooter from deep. And a starting SF that projects as a plus level defender and a 40% shooter from deep as well. Plus another playmaking guard that can shoot in Riller to your bench who can lead the 2nd unit plus playing alongside FVV. And finally Joe is another guard that projects as a 3&D specialist and could be the best shooter from the draft when it's all said and done. 

The Knicks biggest problems were lack of playmaking and perimeter shooting. They solve both of those problems with these moves.

My plan to fix the NYK's this offseason. 

• Decline Bobby Portis team option

• Sign Fred VanVleet to a 3 yr/$60M contract

• Complete a sign and trade with Washington for Davis Bertans 

- Knicks receive: Davis Bertans (3 yr/$39M), 9th pick

- Wizards receive: Dennis Smith Jr, Kevin Knox, 8th pick 

Draft: Vassell #9, Riller #27, Joe #38

Rotation

PG - VanVleet | Payton

SG - Vassell | Riller

SF - Barrett | Joe

PF - Bertans | Randle

C - Robinson | Gibson

We could just sign Bertans outright.

You are correct they'd be just under the cap if they paid FVV $20M and Bertans $13M. 

Adding FVV and Vassell into the rotation would improve the Knicks perimeter defense by leaps and bounds. While also really helping your spacing with those two and Bertans all being 40%+ 3 point shooters. It'd open up a lot of space for Barrett to operate.

Opinions on the Lakers roster going forward and how they can run it back?

LeBron, Danny Green, Caruso, Kuzma, Horton-Tucker and Quinn Cook are under contract.

AD, KCP, McGree, Rondo, and Bradley have a player option.

JR, Dion, Dudley, Markieff, and Dwight are all UFA's

My Opinion

Pick up the option on KCP, Rondo, and Bradley. Re-sign Dwight. Obviously work out a long term deal for AD.

Trade Kuzma for Victor Oladipo. Sign Derrick Favors
