    Here's a trade that kinda makes sense for all 4:
    upload_2022-2-7_16-9-21.png

    I know Nash said they're not trading Harden now, but if Harden let them know he's leaving at the end of the season, then I think they'd jump at this haul, especially as Simmons would be a pretty much perfect fit in Brooklyn.
    Also (according to the Bill Simmons podcast I listened to - not an experience I recommend) the Nets want shooting help, in part because Joe Harris's situation is so uncertain, and could use Fournier.

    Knicks get CJ, whom they're supposed to want. We avoid getting their terrible contracts and actually shave $12M off our cap, making the real decision makers very happy. I doubt this trade makes anyone on this board happy, but having seen CJ's negative effect on the team since he came back, think of it as addition by subtraction.

    Randle has been a net positive precisely once in his entire career, and coincidentally, it was a contract year. I really don't see his appeal. Zach Randolph he fuckin' ain't.

    Also? That leaves the Knicks an entire roster of shooting guards and about one player over 6'5".

    I have thought for a while that Danny Green is basically the perfect shooting guard for this team. Except, you know, that he's old.

    Atlanta too, reportedly. I’d be interested in what they have to offer. Collins and Hunter would both intrigue me.

    well if Atlanta is interested in CJ, I hope Cronin deletes his desire for Grant and focuses on Collins
