New York Knicks Rumours

23 Feb 2025 05:06:28
Pacers finally get Ayton?

IND receive:
-Deandre Ayton

POR receive:
-Aaron Nesmith
-Obi Toppin
-Mitchell Robinson*
-2025 first round pick (IND - proj. #20-25)
-Future protected first round pick (IND)
-Future second round pick(s) (NYK)

NYK* receive:
-TJ McConnell

It's no secret that Ayton has been on Indy's radar. If Turner walks this offseason, they will force a trade for his replacement. Blazers get young talent, picks, and an expiring in return.

*Third team is very flexible; need somewhere to dump the McConnell contract, as Portland has no interest in a defensive guard on a long-term deal. However, there's plenty of contenders that would happily give up an expiring contract ~$10M and few 2nd rounders for a player of TJ's caliber.

Thoughts?

23 Feb 2025 11:36:58
This is a nightmare scenario for Indiana.

23 Feb 2025 14:12:28
If you remove the picks, Indiana might still say no. That package can get thema better option. Mark Williams could be a cheap choice.

24 Feb 2025 18:59:36
I like Ayton, he'd be a great addition for Indiana.

11 Feb 2025 08:14:28
Maybe Mavs should have a look on their mediacal and training staff - since they have move the risk of health Luca - but still get a player hurt - any game.

Maybe Mavs should consider a health an sportive livestyle - like the one, that the fat Durmont Jr. looks like. :)

Fire Nico
Fire the staff
Sell the team

NOL Davis, Kyrie
DAL 2x1st, Zion, Olynyk, Brown, LOL

Trade Davis and Kyrie to get 2x1st and rebuild on new owners. : )

03 Feb 2025 20:06:59
Bruce Brown, Olynyk, and 2 2nds for Ingram

Is this enough for Ingram?

03 Feb 2025 20:53:22
If they are sure they won't resign him, it's better than nothing.

04 Feb 2025 13:13:42
I don’t think so. I think rather lose him for nothing. Those are both win now guys.

05 Feb 2025 01:27:54
Not for that package I’d rather have cap.

05 Feb 2025 16:07:19
DAC, what would you think a good Raptors offer would look like?

06 Feb 2025 09:39:33
Almost. A first and a 2nd made it.

06 Feb 2025 13:41:48
DAC lol.

27 Jan 2025 16:20:45
Trades for contenders to add depth

NYK K. Anderson, Jackson-Davis, Santos
GSW M. Robinson, C. Martin
CHA G. Payton, Waters, GSW 2025 2nd

MIL Dosunmu, T. Craig
CHI P. Connaughton, 2031 1st (Top10 Protected)

DEN Valanciunas, S. Bey
WAS Nnaji, Saric, Cancar, 2031 1st (Top10 Protected)

27 Jan 2025 19:53:20
Love it for Denver. That would be an absolute steal.

29 Jan 2025 20:41:16
Denver is not giving their only tradable 1st for that.

25 Jan 2025 11:23:31
LAL/CLE/TOR

LAL get Jakob Poeltl
- low key move to address big man need who can help AD operate

Pg Reaves/Vincent/Milton
Sg Christie/Knecht
Sf James/DFS/Reddish
Pf Davis/Vanderbilt
Ce Poeltl/Koloko/Jemison

CLE get Rui Hachimura & Jaxson Hayes
- gets a bigger wing & backup big

Pg Garland/Jerome
Sg Mitchell/Merrill
Sf Hachimura/Strus
Pf Mobley/Wade/Niang
Ce Allen/Hayes

TOR get Caris Levert & 2nd round pick from LAL/CLE
- gets an expiring contract and 2 2nds for Poeltl, can resign Levert for cheap too

Pg Quickley/Mitchell
Sg Barrett/Levert
Sf Dick/Agbaji
Pf Barnes/Mogbo
Ce Boucher/Olynyk

25 Jan 2025 21:44:31
Raptors fans will tell you Poeltl is worth way more. Honestly, I don't think teams are willing to pay that much for him. It might be worth it to keep him, though, if this is the price we're getting.

I do however like it for both Cleveland and the Lakers.

26 Jan 2025 02:39:23
I think Toronto can do better.

27 Jan 2025 09:57:06
If you throw Davion Mitchell for G. Vincent TOR is maybe getting LAL 2031 1st. Also, CLE should throw at least 1 more second (2 in total) .

22 Jan 2025 15:01:53
MIN/POR/

MIN get Anfernee Simons & Patrick Williams
- get an offensive weapon to help Ant

Pg Simons/Conley
Sg Edwards/NaW
Sf McDaniels/Divincenzo
Pf Reid/Williams
Ce Gobert/Garza

POR get Lonzo Ball (exp), Terrence Shanon, Chris Duarte, 1st round pick MIN from NYK, 2 2nd round picks CHI

Pg Henderson/Ball
Sg Sharpe/Duarte
Sf Avdija/Thybulle/Shannon
Pf Grant/Camara/Murray
Ce Ayton/Clingan/Williams

CHI get Julius Randle, Keita Bates-Diop, Joe Ingles (buy out) & Duop Reath

Pg White/Carter
Sg Lavine/Dosonmu
Sf Giddey/Terry/Bates-Diop
Pf Randle/Smith/Buzelis
Ce Vucevic/Reath

22 Jan 2025 19:36:20
Bad for Chicago. Randle wont fit.

13 Jan 2025 14:03:16
The Raptors as a facilitator in a Butler trade



Miami trades: Jimmy Butler, Pelle Larson
Miami receives: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Jalen Hood-Schifino, DET 2029 1st, LAL 2030 2nd

Toronto trades: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Davion Mitchell
Toronto receives: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd via DET, DET 2031 1st (top 10 prot)

Detroit trades: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd, 2029 1st, 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit receives: Jimmy Butler, Christian Wood, Pelle Larson

Lakers trade: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Christian Wood, LAC 2025 2nd, 2030 2nd
Lakers receive: Davion Mitchell


Why the Heat do this: Trade Butler and save 10 million while gaining good assets. JHS can be a prospect and Brown could easily net additional value.

Adebayo/Ware/Love
Jovic/Olynyk/Johnson
Brown/Highsmith/JHS
Robinson/Jaquez/Richardson
Herro/Rozier/Burks

Why the Raptors do this: They're rebuilding so sell their older players and take on some contracts for assets.

Poeltl/Boucher
Barnes/Harris/Mogbo
Barrett/Agbaji/Fontecchio
Dick/Hardaway/Walter
Quickley/Shead/Temple

Why the Pistons do this: Get a star in Butler to pair with Cade, while not giving too much for a player of his calibre.

Duren/Stewart/Reed
Thompson/Wood/Klintman
Butler/Holland/Moore
Ivey/Beasley/Larson
Cunningham/Sasser

Why the Lakers do this: Get a real, defensively solid PG while not giving up a first, bolstering their rotation.

Davis/Hayes/Koloko
Finney-Smith/Vanderbilt
James/Knecht/Reddish
Reaves/Christie/James
Mitchell/Vincent/Milton


Thoughts?

13 Jan 2025 21:33:58
I don't hate it but Will Butler go to Detroit?

13 Jan 2025 22:48:30
Toronto getting way too much this is lopsided asf.

14 Jan 2025 00:25:30
I didn't notice both 1sts. Take out the 1st going to Toronto.

15 Jan 2025 12:32:00
Good for Lakers, good value for TOR, bad for DET given the fit. A team that got better by surrounding Cade with more shooters around him to trade 3 of them for a suspect one in Butler (40% in small volume this year but historically not good) seems wrong.

30 Jan 2025 16:41:49
Not great but ok.

08 Jan 2025 17:42:26
Here are some trades generated from the BasketballGM CPU for three Raptors players.

Bruce Brown:

ATL offers Bogdan Bogdanovic and Mo Gueye

DET offers Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, and Wendell Moore Jr.

MIA offers Terry Rozier


Kelly Olynyk:

CHA offers Nick Richards and Vasilijie Micic

UTA offers Patty Mills, Drew Eubanks, and Isaiah Collier

WAS offers Richaun Holmes


Chris Boucher:

MEM offers Brandon Clarke

MIL offers Pat Connaughton and Tyler Smith (is this legal?)

Which one of these is the most realistic?

10 Jan 2025 20:52:11
Not sure if realistic, perhaps favors Toronto, but Olynyk for Richards and Micic is a pretty nice trade for the Raptors.

30 Dec 2024 22:25:19
Knicks: a Reaves
Lakers:Sabonis
Sac:Hachimura+Vanderbilt+M Robinson+ 1rnd pick 29 and 31+ swap option 26 and 30+ 1rnd pick Det 25 (top 13 protected)

05 Dec 2024 22:04:49
There are a few teams, that will pay a 1st for Thompson like Lakers, 76ers, Knicks, Heat and others.

So Mavs send Thompson + 1st to xx
Nets get:
- Prosper, 2x1st, Kleber, Powell, xx
Net send:
- Johnson
- Smith

And Mavs sign W.Hernangomez on min.

Johnson and Finney-Smith are more athletic 3&D wingers that will Mavs make the first contender.

05 Dec 2024 23:19:25
Thompson is a huge negative. You'd be lucky to get an expiring in exchange for him.

06 Dec 2024 06:31:55
Nonsense. he is a great player. But his strenght are offense - but Mavs need more defense, that is athletic, fast also if he hits 3s on a lower rate. It is about the Mavs team needs not about Thompson, he is the same greate offensive player that can play defense, but Mavs would improve to have the great defense player that can play some offense. And in this trade, Mavs get TWO of them, why I propose to invest everything they have - I am also happy with Thompson, but I think, having Finney & Johnson would make the first contender.

23 Nov 2024 09:12:50
Report that Donte Divincenzo isn't thrilled with bench role in Minny same with New York, where would he start?

Maybe go back to Milwaukee

MIL/MIN

MIL get Donte Divincenzo

MIN get Pat Connaughton & 1st round pick

23 Nov 2024 13:41:45
Bucks can't take back even a dollar more than they send out.

17 Nov 2024 12:23:03
Nets:Z Williamson
NO: B Simmons+ 1rnd pick Knicks 25-27-29-31+ 1rnd pick Bucks 25

12 Nov 2024 22:56:37
Bucks - Hornets - Raptors - Wizards

Bucks get Bruce Brown & Kyle Kuzma

Poole/Brogdon/George
Coulibaly/Davis
Martin/Connaughton
Bey/Kispert
Sarr/Valanciunas

19 Nov 2024 23:43:16
I do t hate the trade raptors definitely need to trade boucher and brown this year if they can get a ypung guard like green and a few more picks. That's a solid return. Bucks need to do something today. If jot the season is done. They need to fire Doc and make a move for help. Lillard and Giannis need help Lopez is old and Portis and Middleton are good trade bait. Do It.

05 Nov 2024 16:53:48
Thunder makes a huge splash while trying to keep the core intact at the best possible way

Bucks sends: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gary Trent Jr, Pat Connaughton, Marjon Beauchamp

Thunder sends: Isaiah Hartenstein, Kenrich Williams, Cason Wallace, rights to Nikola Topic, Aaron Wiggins, 7 1st round picks, 3 pick swaps

Raptors sends: Bruce Brown, Chris Boucher (both expiring deals), 2nd round picks


To Thunder: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gary Trent Jr, Pat Connaughton, 2nd round picks from Raptors

To Bucks: Bruce Brown (could waive or trade him for more assets), Chris Boucher, Aaron Wiggins, Nikola Topic, Cason Wallace & 5 1st round picks from Thunder, 2 pick swaps from Thunder

To Raptors: Isaiah Hartenstein, Marjon Beauchamp, Kenrich Williams, 2 1st round picks from Thunder, pick swap from Thunder


Milwaukee agree to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Thunder and make a strong big 4 with SGA-Chet-Williams. The Raptors supports the deal by taking salaries for picks

Gilgeous-Alexander, Caruso
Joe, Dort, Trent Jr
Williams, Connaughton
Antetokounmpo, Dieng
Holmgren, Williams

The Bucks add their guards of the future in Cason Wallace & Aaron Wiggins (eventually will trade Lillard & Middleton)

Lillard, Wallace, Wright
Wiggins, Topic, Johnson
Middleton, Brown
Portis, Prince
Lopez, Boucher

The Raptors making a steal getting 2 picks in the process

Quickley, Mitchell
Barrett, Agbaji, Walter
Dick, Williams
Barnes, Mogbo, Beauchamp
Hartenstein, Poeltl, Olynyk

05 Nov 2024 18:15:53
Looks way too good for the Raptors.

06 Nov 2024 09:45:22
Why would the bucks include the Raptors?

11 Nov 2024 21:11:43
I dont see how the raptors would need to be involved but I also can see the thunders pulling this trade with all there picks as they should

Send them all the clippers picks and they would need to send Williams and Wallace and maybe 4 firsts for giannis.

21 Oct 2024 23:22:57

Very nice trade makes sense for all teams.

11 Oct 2024 13:24:12
Pelicans aren’t trading Ingram to GS of all teams. And definitely not for that return.

15 Oct 2024 08:14:56
that's a steal for NO and Ingram would be great in GS.

11 Nov 2024 21:26:43
Raptor's would not trade there only center for Wiggins.
