I'd do it although we're already super guard heavy. I'd love Robinson/Barrett instead but idk when he's eligible to be traded. I'd also probably push for picks in 2024, 2026, 2028 so we'd be stacked on picks every year for the foreseeable future and would have a pick in 2024.

Stepping back from that ledge.
Might not matter if he wants one or not, but otherwise that's a fair point.

You have to take RJ from New York in a trade because Donovan + Brunson + whatever else we leave New York with ain't getting it done. Those are lottery picks right there. Take their assets and they will need to rely on players who will sign up as free agents with no chance of seeing the ball.
This!
The more I dwell on it, the more I want Donovan to stay, but if he’s putting a gun to our head privately and asking for a trade, the only reason Danny should field calls from Phoenix or Brooklyn is to force the Knicks to panic and give us the farm.
They obviously have the best draft pick package amongst the rumored Donovan suitors by far and I’d be willing to bet that Ainge wouldn’t pull the trigger until the Knicks relent and give us RJ. That kid probably has a higher ceiling than Donovan and can already give us 20/6/3 each night.
Getting RJ and those picks would be a ****ing coup. It would probably be the best set up for a tank that we’ve ever seen.
And honestly you could see why the Knicks do it with their history of drafting and free agency.
Ainge is playing these teams off against one another, building his leverage. He may get the Knicks to break.

The only scenario where I’d want Donovan to stay is one where we deal him next draft night to get into the top 2. But too many things have to go your way for that to pan out as expected.
NYK draft capital right now feels too good to pass up.

The Knicks being hesitant about extending Barrett also seems like the perfect time to strike.
Did you guys completely forget about the conversation we had earlier today about Ben and Mitchell not being allowed to be on the same team because of the designated player extensions?

I think you are correct because that is the only way that Mitchell to Miami would work because I believe Bam signed a designated contract as well.
The Knicks are myopic and erratic. They're the perfect team to take picks from.

We really that excited about RJ? He hasn’t been that great right? Am I missing or misremembering something?

40% FG, 34% 3pt, TS% .511 (oof)
I know he just turned 22 but I’d be surprised if he was ever an above average offensive efficiency guy. Last yr was year 3 and that’s suppose to be the year guards make a leap
