In this scenario 3 out of the 4 Banana Boat Brothers get to play together as they're years of being useful players wind down and they stroll towards retirement. They may still have enough in the tank to make a decent playoff run.

I like all the moves but i do not think they should trade lee for a pick that's in 2 years he is young, good defender and good shooter they keep lee and sign everyone else.

There's no way you're getting two positive assets for Noah. NY will have to take another terrible contract back, or give up a young player and/ or a pick to unload him.

Jakethesnake1995, I like Lee a lot too for the same reasons you stated but the other moves wouldn't be possible without clearing that cap space. And also, what you have to realize is that while that Pick may be two years away, losing CP3 and possibly Blake also by then either via Free Agency or Trade, the Clippers may find themselves as a bad rebuilding team in which case that Pick could have serious value.

Lee will not fetch a 1st rd. pick.

Knicks are pretty much stuck with Noah.

All the signings. They'd be way over the cap. And they still would not win a title. Knicks need time and patience, trade Melo, try and rid themselves of Noah's contract and build slowly as well as smartly. Porzingis is their future.

I like Lee, but Jake, he's both on the wrong side of 30 and has not been the defender he was advertised to be when the Knicks signed him. If I could get a first for him, I take it.

Noah's not going anywhere for at least one, but more likely two years at the earliest. Teams like expiring deals when taking back boat anchors, not three years of contracts owing.

Here is the only scenario where the Kings take Noah's contract.

- Vlade or Viveks son needs a blood transplant

- Phil Jackson is the only man in the world that has his matching blood type.
