Can’t get both. Kuminga is more Durant imo. He’s a bucket

I mean, technically we could get both since we have the DAL pick. Highly unlikely though, it’s a pipe-dream.

Likely no..but possible...sure..why can't they trade up if they chose to. If their is a draft to push in chips and trade up...it may be this one.. Kuniga is listed at 6'7 same as kawhi..and more a sf...vs kd at 6'10..so why I saw the better comparison ..

Again..microscopic small sample size i have seen...but if made to choose on this very day..think both those guys would fit in superbly with the current core and would consider dealing to make it happen..

So long as we don’t “block” him with some Mark Madsen type vet

You know who fits perfectly with what we’ve put together is Bobby “Buckets” Portis. Whatever his max is we should just get it done before the Lakers or Golden State steals him.

Too late lol. Bucks broke your heart already

I mean yeah we could go all in and trade a ton of picks and trade up from 19 or so I guess.

Cade looks meh in his first game

Cade did pretty good but he doesn't look like a PG on the NBA level more like a SG because his handle doesn't look tight at all. He got stripped several times and looked a little out of control. His dribble is way too high but his shooting and ability to get to the rim look good.

Generational talent.... NO

21 and 10 after not playing for how long? Strongly disagree

[Knicks4eva]

Watched the game and Cade quietly stuffs the stat sheet but be def didn’t pass the eye test for me in this gsme. He might long term but doesn’t look like a PG at all unless his handle becomes better runner duress and in traffic. Shot needs to improve also started very slow. I think he will be top 3 but he will have comp for that number One spot

[Knicks Boogie]

I mean if this is what CAA delivers us next year...

He’s the main competition for Cade as of now.

I imagine that it will be a debate similar to Durant/Oden minus the injury situation obviously.

Again I saw him destroy Cade about a year ago but Cade looks bigger and stronger now. Neither one of them are real point guards and neither of them are better than RJ Barrett.

10 rebounds not assists. He did nothing in that game to convince me he would be a good point guard in the NBA but Fran was hyping him all game long like he was the next LaMelo Ball. Good player but not generational. Knicks need a great pg next!

Noel
Toppin
Bullock
Harden
DSJ

Bench: Burks, Quickley, Payton, Spellman, Iggy, Powell

It looks awful on paper, but we’d still have a 1st rounder in every season, and with Harden we’d make the playoffs in the East for sure. We could probably lure Giannis or another superstar as well. Harden has an old man game and can remain a star for at least 5 more years (probably more).

Not saying I would do it, but it’s not nearly as ridiculous as it seems. Knox, Frank, and Randle don’t have much value and the picks we’re giving up wouldn’t be that great if we make the playoffs.

I’m also not super high on RJ and while I love Mitch, it remains to be seen whether he can put it all together. He’s a big with a limited offensive game and he is going to be a FA soon.

Oh my..to give up all that to wind up with a team like that?

Exactly. We might not even make the playoffs with that team.
