Knicks looking at Normal Powell!? Ayo that'll be nice

Big news I feel like Noel is better coming of the bench

Just before the deadline too

No more Drummond rumors pls

Hella down just depends on cost

My assumption is Knox and a first. Would be a pretty fair trade considering how the Raptors season is going. I wouldn't be surprised if they also move either Lowry or Siakam for some more first round picks too.

Raptors are 11th in the east and on seven game losing streak. They got the Cavs, Rockets, and Nuggets up next. If they manage to lose all three of those games right before the deadline it'll be safe to assume they're gonna throw the rest of the season away.

If they trade a first it has to be worth it.

I don't trust this organization whatsoever with their draft selection even if we had the No. 1 pick and the choice is obvious. Trade the picks for a ready made player that will help.

I know Obi is lookin fugazi but remember, they did get us IQ

They lucked into IQ, I will stand by that.

Just like we lucked into Mitch.

I don't think we lucked into IQ though cause the FO was high on him really early. Actually heard of the Knicks having major interest in IQ way before I even heard of Obi.

I guess when the plan became trade Randle at the deadline this year they decided picking up Obi was crucial. But as we all know, Randle went nuts and now Obi just gotta ride the bench.

Don't even think we lucked into Mitch knowing how his very brief college career went. He also dropped out of the rookie combine, so pretty much no other team knew about him. We drafted him cause all the other notable big guys in that draft were taken way before pick 36

Alright I'll give you that. You're right about IQ but that was the decision of like the 4th or 5th guy in the front office to make that call.

Who picked Obi? Leon Rose

This front office is picking dudes who are signed with CAA or have a relationship with Leon's son who's an agent. That's kind of terrifying. Because we're prioritizing relationships over talent.

We've already picked 2 other duds before Obi in the lotto. This was one you shouldn't have f***ed with.

RJ a dud?

I saw that

Magic Johnson wanted Mitch and even told him or his agent he was gonna pick him until the Knicks swooped in and got him first.

Some times I think all the good that happens to this team is because of some coincidental luck, honestly.

Frank & Knox

Fortunately Magic was a trash GM

I been the biggest RJ supporter in this thread.

Nice try

I saw you say 3 duds then you changed it to 2

You ain't slick

Good thing we got an edit button.

Idk if Obi a complete bust, I was a critic of picking him in the first place but he really ain't been used right which has caused his confidence to be very low, he's thinking too hard about everything he does.

But really he isn't going to be playing much with Randle playing like this and he's 23, I say try to get his trade value up a little and ship him just wasn't a good pick and dear God if we traded Randle where would we be rn with Obi starting at the 4?

He was supposed to be "NBA ready" outta everyone in the draft and whenever he plays he looks like a deer in the headlights.

The most comfortable he's looked is when Rose was on the floor.

He's out of position cause he's small so you can't leave him as a forward. He's an awkward athlete too.

idk

If we have a chance to trade him, I'd pull the trigger.

I'd say the one good thing I seen out of Obi was his passing early in the season and even that was shakey cause he would make some dumb passes in transition.

His shot is broken. Not even to RJ's levels from last year either.

I can't name anything else he does good.

Dunks

I was hoping you would bring that up

I can't believe he blew a wide open dunk like 2 games ago

I wanted to cry at how bad he's been.

This senior citizen Toppin felt like an obvious bust even before the draft
