Official '24 NYK playoffs thread, RD1 vs PHI

[nick.]

We can't complete a trade with Detroit without sending out salary & I wouldn't want to move Fournier for Burks. Would have to include Bogdanovic as well.

I think we eventually settle on Fournier & a pick for Bruce Brown. Don't love the fit but he could initiate offense well enough without Brunson on the floor for a few minutes.

Would be a little disappointed if we do nothing. Team needs some help to make it to April in one piece.

 

[Master Zik]

Trade Randle

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Burks back!

 

[ihust1e]

burk bike

Burks for grimes? Not sure how I feel about that.

 

[Air Pope]

Knicks did what they set out to do

 

[d3si]

Legoooooo

 

[nick.]

Okay, that's a much better move

Digging in the crates for this one:

 

[ihust1e]

ohhhh we got the Bogdon wow

 

[biggie62]

Okay now I’m fine with sending grimes.

 

[paulminus]

Yo we got Bojan off the bench !!!

 

[lesgodson]

Man, the thing with Grimes…

Had the look of a knockdown shooter…it just never came to be. I root for him to flourish elsewhere…

BUT…Bojan off the bench with Deuce and Burks, with Deuce…and eventually IHart shifting back if Mitch is back before the playoffs…LOADED.

 

[don ramon]

dig the bojan trade

2 second rounders and grimes for burkes byke is not my ideal move, but i'm glad they didn't give up any first rounders

 

[d3si]

The full trade will not work for both Knicks and Pistons. So they had to make two deals to make it a "full trade" tho

 

[d3si]

Bojan has one year remaining on his contract. And it's higher than Fournier's salary as well. It makes even better for the Knicks organization

 

[nick.]

Bojan is a horrible defender but he should take some minutes from Josh Hart. Can't ignore him to blitz Brunson like the Lakers did last weekend.

 

[onewearz]

Like the trade, kinda liked Grimes but wish him the best. Like gettin Burks back, love gettin Bojo

Can't wait till we're healthy ..

 

[ny mavurs]

Giving up no firsts would’ve been hard to believe

We went from IQ being the main bench option to replacing him with multiple options

The Knicks organization cooked this season

 

[ballinsam23]

Our depth is serious now

 

[biggie62]

Now how do we package those 1st and randle for a real star?

Preferably a 4 or 5

 

[you go boy]

I checked realgm and was furious we gave up two 2nds and grimes for Burks… didn’t realize Bojan was part of the deal too… hes kinda old but he can shoot lights out and you got another scorer with burks… not mad at the deal at all… we had to do something because OG might be out for a while and grimes was already hurt…was hoping for murray but ill take this deal…

 

[Upptempo]

Yo we got Bojan off the bench !!!

He's def starting. He averages 20ppg this season. It'll likely (when Randle and OG get back) be Hartenstein/Randle/OG/Bojan/Brunson.

 

[ballinsam23]

Bojan will start until OG comes back after the all star break
