A Big Move on the Horizon?

The Knicks just got their GM. There really is no deadline anymore on potentially getting a trade done. It could happen anytime. I don't think Diaw's contract was the difference between being able to get a deal done or not.

I think we are involved... teams were pissed they took the trade of the board for now... they probably told people that we need to get our new GMs opinion before finalizing this. We knew at that point we weren't getting anything done by the contract guarantee date. He wasn't necessary but if there was something close we probably keep it there just in case.

I think it's funny that some posters think two guys signed here just to never play... sefolosha made sense as we needed a 3 but as constituted we wouldn't play Udoh much at all and Jonas would get 5 minutes a night maybe. I think these guys likely had better options than spot minutes in Utah.

I doubt telling people that you're going to trade someone to allow them to play is part of negotiating with FAs. Favors is our starting 4 and Jerebko and Udoh can each average 18 minutes a night.

I thought Jonas was a 25 mpg game in Boston but it turns out it was just 15, so idk, maybe he would sign on w/o minutes guarantee.

Might not but might tell them we aren't done moving around.

Favs starts and plays how many minutes at PF... Rudy will play 35-36 minutes at center so there are 12 minutes available there. Jesus gets most of his minutes at backup 4 so is he taking 18-20 minutes there... so Favs gets 30 minutes a night say 18 at PF and 12 at center. Now there are no minutes for Udoh and Jonas is left with about 10 minutes.

There is maybe 10-15 minutes between those two guys.

Gobert probably plays 32-33 minutes and Favors about 30. Add in injuries and I don't see those as unreasonable. Jerebko may be about 17 minutes.

It doesn't add up.

So how is JJ getting minutes?

It doesn't add up... there are roughly 90 bench minutes to split up Exum gets 15ish, DM gets 15ish, JJ gets 20ish, thabo gets 15-20... leaves about 20 minutes max and I think we'd all like to see more for some of those guys.
 
I don't know. Maybe the numbers don't work out all that perfectly, but I expect 16-18 from Udoh as the primary backup 5 and 15-17 from Jerebko. There will be plenty of injuries and DNPs to go around.

If we trade Favors, it's because we're bringing in someone else who will play minutes, so the playing time issue I wouldn't say is an indicator of a trade.
