NYRaider Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Knicks beat writers have suggested Quickley, Toppin, and Knox for CJ but I have no idea how that helps the Blazers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 If I'm the Knicks I'd throw the bag at Lonzo Ball and Norman Powell this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I would say that these potential trade offers and teams being thrown out for Lillard and McCollum make no sense and would give Portland essentially nothing in return...but then I just think and remember that they're all still better than what Houston got for James ******* Harden.

They really don't have too many players to be excited about. Maybe Fultz and Isaac get healthy and improve? Anthony and Carter are decent young players as well. But man that team is just lacking talent across the board. If the basketball gods bless them with a miracle they could potentially have two top 5 picks and come away with a combo of Suggs/Green/Cunningham/Mobley.

Yeah, I mean the best player Houston got in return for Harden was Exum. No chance I'd trade CJ to NY unless I'm getting Randle back or maybe RJ Barrett/Mitchell Robinson but that doesn't really put them over the top or make them a contender. I wonder if a 3 team trade between Toronto, Portland, and Minnesota could work? Minnesota receives: Pascal Siakam, CJ McCollum, Zach Collins, Toronto's lottery pick Toronto receives: DeAngelo Russell, Jusuf Nurkic, Anferee Simmons, Portland's pick Portland receives: Karl Anthony-Towns Edited June 5, 2021 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their lack of playmaking and shooting was exposed in the playoffs and they've been linked to Ball for a while. They have a ton of cap space and the free agent class is pretty weak this year. Ball - Powell - Barrett - Randle - Robinson That ain't too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the stinker he put up in the playoffs I'd be hesitant to give him a max contract. I could also see the Knicks holding off and then trying to make a splash in 2022 when a lot of guys hit the market. Still incredible that they drafted Obi Toppin over Tyrese Haliburton.

TheRealMcCoy Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Jokes aside imagine being turned down by Kidd.... Lakers fans were looking forward to getting rid of him to hopefully bring in a better offensive mind to help Vogel out. Vogel is a great defensive mind. One of the best in the league. Phil Handy is great at player development. Then there is Kidd. Would’ve been nice to swap Stotts for Kidd. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team didnt refuse to interview him. I like you bruh and know you mean well, but sometimes you just gotta pick up on sarcasm and know some things are just jokes. You don't have to take every post so seriously. But, this is odd that Dame basically leaked his choice directly to Haynes and then Kidd just withdraws his name from consideration before Portland starts their search. I'm sure Dame has some influence over the next coach or he better if they wanna keep him happy. So why would Kidd turn it down? This is what was said in the Woj article about it: Quote "Portland's a first-class organization and will have great candidates for its head coaching job, but I've decided not to be one of them," Kidd told ESPN. "Whoever they choose will have big shoes to fill from Terry [Stotts]." Kidd was ultimately uncomfortable with the idea of pursuing the opening after Blazers star Damian Lillard publicly called for his hiring within hours of Stotts' departure on Friday night. The public nature of Lillard's endorsement -- telling Yahoo Sports that "Jason Kidd is the guy I want" -- left Kidd feeling he would put both Lillard and Portland's process in an awkward circumstance should he pursue the opening. Like I don't get the whole awkward circumstance angle being put out there. If he is being endorsed by the star player it would've given him at the very least an interview. Why pass that up? Does he have a better opportunity possibly in the works? Lakers fans are already assuming the worst like that he's possibly eyeing the job here long term lol. Maybe he feels more comfortable with the Celtics job??? Edited June 6, 2021 by TheRealMcCoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
