    I wonder how many picks he got…. RJ has been pretty mediocre so far. I like Quickley.

    The report I read said just a 2024 2nd round pick.

    I like the trade better for Toronto better than NYK.

    If Im OG's agent, Im 100% engaging Indiana and Philly to ensure OG gets a max contract. Knicks can't afford to allow OG to walk now.

    They will end up paying OG the same amount as they would have with Barrett + IQ

    OG ‘s agent is the son of Knicks President Leon Rose. He’s staying in New York.

    It will be interesting to see what they get in return.

    I would say that is a huge part of the equation. I like this trade more for the Knicks. Although Toronto did ok considering OG was moving on after the season. Toronto will be looking to dump Trent real soon.

    Really like this trade.

    Toronto has been letting good free agents walk for nothing. New York needed to consolidate. Think this is one of those rare win-win situations.

    I watched a local Detroit news broadcast on the Pistons losing streak. Those TV news jerks bragged about how much money you could have made if you had placed bets on Detroit losing every game this season. That's a low blow maaan, there's more to basketball then placing bets. They're young men in a terrible slump, not a freaking jackpot slot machine.

    It's 10000-1. It'll never happen. Lol. I'd hope there'd be some bet like "Detroit going on a 5 game winning streak" I'd bet that cause I think they can.

    Laughable return for Toronto. Ujiri is so overrated. The audacity of him to ask for all he did from Portland last year..... Got just what he deserves.

    I think Scoot has this kinda potential to put up a 20/20 game. 0 turns will be tough tho

    Passed on Hart/Sharpe. Passed on Simons/1st. What a laughable return. LMAO

    I can’t be too angry with Masai—his stubbornness led us to keeping the Shaedon pick.

    I like it for both teams. Knicks really needed players like Achiuwa and OG. Raptors needed to get something for OG and begin their rebuild. Quickley is awesome; he's going to cook in Toronto.

    I'm mildly worried the Warriors will want to go all in and trade for Siakam. It wouldn't make a ton of sense, but it's the sort of sneaky shit I could see GS doing.

    Not a single first in the trade. Hilarious.

    I think Quickley is good though.

    To be fair, that second is the 31st pick.

    Was Simons ever offered? I don’t think he was. I think he was offered for Bridges.
