2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

The Knicks have the proper 3-D guys to protect Brunson. They also have Towns who brings the center out with his ability to shoot.

they have two of the best 3-D guys in Hart OG and Bridges.

yall stop saying how we can get Hart. As I said New York is not messing with that team and core for Gianiss. They did it before with Melo ain’t gonna happen again.

honestly Our Gianiss deal might be the best deal where are the suitors outside of Miami???

We gotta develop Thiero keep drafting some 3-D guys and hope Peyton Watson comes or we get Cam Johnson or sign a Toni Eason.

I even floated trading back for AD. If we could make it happen it would be gold. He would be perfect how this team is structured with Luka. See you need to look at stuff like that.

Washington already has a Center power forward do they need AD??? I don’t know what it takes 2 2030’s or 1. But this looks enticing.

Luka
Reaves
Smart
Lebron
AD

 

They're also only really playing 8 deep. It'll be interesting to see if they have anything for OKC or SAS in the finals. If they make it competitive then there is every chance that we could have been a serious threat with a healthy Luka.

If depth kills them again, we have an answer on how much of a bench we need.

Have to give props to Mike Brown, he has them playing excellent ball at the right moment. KAT being a point center has been a great move.

 

Aside from AD not being healthy. The bigger issue is how do you match salaries? You'd have to operate under the cap and absorb a lot of his salary.

Luka (49.5) / Smart / Bronny (2.3)
Reaves (20.9) /
Vet Min (2.5) / Adou (2.1) / Jake (6)
Lebron (20) / Vando (12.4)
AD (58) / Hayes (4)

That's 180m so even that doesn't work since the cap is 165, you'd have to let Lebron walk. We just have to leave AD in the past, unless he accepts a buyout - which isn't likely given he has 120 million reasons not too.
