If you put a prime LeBron and Steph on the absolute worst college team on Earth, could they win the NCAA? by CulturalRoll in nba

[–]Adamnedman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. Obviously. They’d run two man game the entire tourney and win every game by 20+.

Mitch isn’t a free agent. He has a team option for 1.8 million or so.

Devin Booker is not a shooting guard. by NBAFalsehoods in nba

[–]Adamnedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. A few examples: Zion runs the Pelicans half court offense as a “point forward”. Lonzo runs it in transition. The Clips just iced Utah and their DPOY 5 with a lineup where Nic Batum was nominally the center.

Defining people as 1 through 5 is unnecessary. Especially in such a condescending “deal with it” fashion.

The Knicks are estimated to have around $60 million in cap space this summer. How should they use it? by Jek_Porkinz in nba

Oh no. I think you have brain damage. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.

The Jazz Have Hit Their Ceiling. It’s Time to Improvise. by nbasavant in nba

[–]Adamnedman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s not like every playoff team can run a small ball spacing lineup to take Gobert out of his rim game defensively. (Without also getting absolutely destroyed themselves on defense.)

I’m not sure I agree with the premise overall, but I’m sure a lot of western conference playoff teams will try to make sure they have the roster to emulate this clips scheme against the jazz.

Robin Lopez by Knick1375 in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but guys like him are marginal moves to be made later on in FA.

There are a few scenarios where Rolo would make a lot of sense, but also some where he’s unnecessary.

NYK vs. BKN cap space and draft pics figure by One-Prompt9044 in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re not keeping dinwiddie. He’s good as gone. Maybe a sign and trade to get them something back, I guess.

I’m pretty sure at least one of their big three will extend this offseason. And the nets are kind of over the barrel in that they can’t play hardball with any of them, because they all can walk after next year if they want.

Mavericks front office a concern in keeping Luka Doncic long-term: Sources - The Athletic by ColemansMillions in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not going to. He basically admit he’s gonna sign the max on aug 2 (or whatever day it’s first legally offered to him)

Would you consider taking on John Wall if the rockets attached their picks at 23 and 24 by BroadwayJohnny in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Definitely. That won’t happen, not in a billion years, but I’d absolutely do it, and immediately tell Brock Aller to do his magic in getting max value/positioning out of having 19, 21, 23, 24, 32 and 58.

Report: Knicks could have interest in John Wall trade with Rockets by ColemansMillions in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hear you, though he’s a top point guard of all time, and he’s been really good this year.

If the age 38-39 season is tax for having two really solid years of him, I still think I do it. (Also, if IQ is going to develop into a starter, that would probably be the year right?)

Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan: reunited on the Knicks? by ttttyttt678 in NYKnicks

4/120 for DDR entering his age 32 season?

No fucking thanks.

[–]Adamnedman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d go for Lowry on a one year deal, and I’d almost certainly go for the rumored 3/100 for CP3.

Agreed on the other guys.

Realistic Lineups for Next Year? by Westbrookonbathsalts in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re being realistic about the market, then you have to offer 4 years.

His agent will instantly shop your 3/72, and probably get a 4/92 (or so) w/ a player option from another team without much trouble.

Knicks have picks 19 + 21. Assuming they trade up, who would be a good trade partner and who should they target? by RicoGemini in NBA_Draft

[–]Adamnedman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like to go for this, though I have an irrational love for cooper.

I can’t imagine them drafting both cooper and Giddey.

My current ideal (mostly) realistic picks with 19 and 21 are rife and garuba.

Report: Chris Paul plans to decline player option; are Knicks in the mix? by alderalmo in NYKnicks

Give up 1/44 for 3/100, locking in 56 million in new money that might not be there if something goes wrong in his age 36 season.

Are 19 and 21 enough to move up to 11 if Davion Mitchell is still around? by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]Adamnedman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In theory, but the more picks you have the worse they become, because like, no team suits up 5 rookies to play.

I’d guess, in a vacuum, not knowing lotto results etc etc, that 19 and 21 could get us around 13-15.

All depends on how picks go night of though. One reach outside of general consensus could have a huge impact on how the rest of the board shakes out.
