@knicksnationtv I like Matisse Thybulle he reminds of Landry Shamet. I could see both on the court at the same time being defensive demons that also can leak out and shoots 3s.

I honestly don’t see DeRozan taking a bench role unfortunately for us.
I see Detroit and maybe Miami places where he can/will start, he will sign with.
If we can’t sign him, beyond our own free agents, If I’m Leon I’ll be interested in (Vet Minimum):
1)Bradley Beal
2)Jonas Valančiūnas
3)Bruce Brown Jr. (yes him, a better defender and more efficient than JC, only 29 yrs still)
4)Khris Middleton
5)Matisse Thybulle (41% 3pt last two years, top defender, injures, only 29 yrs old still)
Also young hungry players:
1)Ziaire Williams 24 yrs
2)Olivier-Maxence Prosper 24 yrs (lm a fan)
3)Cam Thomas 24 yrs (yes that Cam Thomas, a family atmosphere can get him right)
4)Charles Bassey 25 yrs

@jayceepxrez Next move I would do is sign Moussa Cisse and Matisse Thybulle. Our team would be on Demon time next year. But I would not mind getting Jordan Clarkson instead because of the chemistry.
English
@krispursiainen If not Clarkson im down to sign Matisse Thybulle.
Another Shamet type player would make this team killer.
English
If Jordan Clarkson would take the veteran’s minimum, I’d offer the rest to Kevon Looney and see what shakes

Knicks still have roughly $6.5 million left under the second apron, enough for two minimum deals with a little room to spare

@wolfman5469 @WilliamOMGA @nyknicks I totally agree 👍🏼
But they trying to save every dollar for something
What that is? Is the question 🤔
English
@Lesdaily @WilliamOMGA @nyknicks They should still let him play maybe he’ll prove to them he’s ready
English
@WilliamOMGA @nyknicks I think they forcing him to go back overseas damn

@StevePopper Isn't that you guys say every year smh do you have another take.
English
I know this is a big if -- like a massive if -- but Sixers are going to be a problem if Embiid is healthy.
English
@RasheeTouchdown Do you believe Pelicans or Hornets are willing to deal?

Just trade McBride and/or Dadiet for Diabate or Missi you cannot settle for Looney
English
@KaplanMatanel It's definitely not but you cant replace Mitch with one person like in Moneyball you have to do it by committee.
English
I’m sorry but Kevon looney is just not good enough after losing both Mitch and hukporti. #knicks
Ian Begley@IanBegley
If Knicks remain committed to staying under 2nd apron, and Andre Drummond remains committed to this approach in free agency, hard to see NYK & Drummond as a match. NYK & Kevon Looney entered free agency with mutual interest; NYK has also consistently signaled that they'd like Jordan Clarkson back
English
@ItsJust__E I'm down for that
Looney get hated on but he's a champion with experience. We need that mentality on the team.
English
Moussa Cisse would be a great Ariel Hukporti replacement but probably not someone the Knicks can task with nightly backup C duties
English
@SleeperKnicks I think they found out some news that we haven't yet. But I won't say until its done. 🤔
English
Wonder if this means they’re out of the Mitch business… 👀
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Free agent Moe Wagner has agreed to a two-year, $19 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets, sources tell ESPN. The deal contains a mutual option guaranteeing the $19M while allowing either side to opt-in (not opt-out) along with having a conversation about doing a new contract next summer.
English
Updated New York
Veteran minimum= $2.45M
Second rd. pick exception= $1.35M
English
@SleeperKnicks I hope they leave his ass off the team after all this.
English
Shams dropping hypothetical next moves?
Yeah it’s happening.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.7 million player option to become a free agent, sources tell ESPN. This move gives the Warriors flexibility to pursue LeBron James in free agency and Anthony Davis via trade to form a Big 4.
English
@DylanBackerESM I think Kalkbrenner might be more available then Diabate. But Kalkbrenner is pretty good too.
English
If the Knicks do lose Mitchell Robinson in free agency, Moussa Diabate could be a good trade target to be the backup behind KAT.
Last season, he averaged 7.9 PTS, 8.7 REB, and 1.0 BLK.
How would you feel about adding Diabate?
English
@knickzfeed @BrettSiegelNBA Kevin Looney is a Champion 🏆
Bring me that experience
English
"Two names league sources brought up in connection to the Knicks as possible replacements for Robinson are Nick Richards and Kevon Looney."

@YossiGozlan Two candidates that I believe can help Knicks in this situation.
What do you think? @YossiGozlan
English
Let's say Jose Alvarado opts in, they sign their two second-round picks to rookie minimums, and find a taker for Pacome Dadiet.
The Knicks would be able to offer Mitchell Robinson roughly a $9 million starting salary while staying under the second apron.
It could translate to 3/$29M or 4/$40M.
Most teams can offer him up to the $15 million mid-level exception.
If the second apron is their hard cap, then they may need to get creative finding a new backup big who fits within their budget.
Stefan Bondy@SbondyNBA
Heard it’s unlikely Mitchell Robinson will be back with Knicks next season. He’s longest tenured Knick but also an unrestricted free agent. Owner James Dolan said he’s unwilling to pay into second apron so running it back with bench is not feasible.
English
@Knickstogether My understanding he's their Starter or Backup Center but maybe Ryan Kalkbrenner could be had.
