Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Now if Cavs want to throw NEXT year's pick unprotected on that pile. . .
And I guarantee the Brooklyn pick was not on the table.

Remember when we actually needed that late first for Mirotic, before Ricky blew up again? That time is not THIS time. Cleavland is run by idiots. They are going to hold onto that pick which will become a 9th pick which they will butcher.

You're forgetting recent history - the Cavs will win the lottery and THEN screw up the pick since there's not a consensus #1
 
A headline just flashed on my phone saying Porzingis was helped off the floor with a knee injury. If it's serious will this cause some more trade action?

I doubt it changed things very much, the Knicks weren't a playoff team anyway and not sure this injury changed that.
 
I'd trade Favors for the Cavs 1st-rd pick, assuming it's not just a pick swap with Brooklyn, but I wouldn't trade Rubio for that.

I dunno.. does Rubio figure in our long term plan? If we can get Bradley, I'd start Mitchell and Bradley and so Rubio would be the odd man out there.

Rubio is playing like a top-10 PG. He's adjusting to Quin's system pretty well, and his contract is reasonable through next season. You don't trade that for a mid or late 1st-rd pick.

If you want to package Rubio and Hood for the Brooklyn pick and take back a contract like Shumpert, then maybe that's a discussion. You're now counting on Exum, which is a risky proposition.
 
The Knicks could and should have a fire sale. There is no reason to keep a Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, O'Quinn or maybe even Kanter. They need to try to lose their remaining games.
