    I think we need to keep the pick to unload for a star at the deadline if one becomes available.

    I feel like he’ll have the same effect as Juwan Howard did when he played here. Solid vet that can knock down shots and won’t make many mistakes.

    Mitchell Robinson is a building block in NY. He's probably the best player they have from last season. They won't trade him.

    I realize that. I was just listing a big that would be worth trading a 1st for and only made enough salary to work for Gary Trent.

    Edit: If he was such a building block why did they sign Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis, and Julius Randle?

    Because they are the Knicks. They prefered to pay all those guys more than they worth instead of being like Atlanta and take assets for bad contracts.

    There is always a way but sometimes it's tough to see because of there being so many variables. Olshey said he would have to pull off some cap gymnastics. That is what he did.

    I personally always like having a roster spot around trade deadline time.

    Guys come up on waivers also that we also look at and think "Gee wish we had a open spot".

    Normally I would agree too. However, with Nurk out for who knows how long I think we have to fill the roster out. Even if it's a non-guaranteed guy who can be cut before January 10th.

    Whiteside in Southbeach could be different than Whiteside at Pioneer Square! Plus he won't have Dion Waiters taking him to strip clubs.

    Yep. Leave yourself flexibility and control within the roster. Having a guy with a non-guaranteed contract fits that bill. Cut that player if you wish and open a roster spot when needed.
