Is it better than Tyreke's defense and screen setting, from the bench in his suit every game.

And i'm pretty sure he's better in every aspect of the game than Ajinca.

Dude, you're talking about Tyrec and the French Shawn Bradley. I'd dry hump that trade wearing jeans with no underwear on.

Maybe, but I don't see the potential teams listed offering more.

The Magic already have DJ Augustin locked up for 4/$29. Is Knight that much of an upgrade that they'd pay double the salary and trade a 1st to get him?

The Nets should be trying to acquire post 2018 assets to start a rebuild, trading or flipping Lopez for Knight would seem silly. Can Knight lead the team any further than Lopez?

Philly is trying to move bigs and not finding many takers. Maybe the Suns would take something like Knight for Okafor/Luwawu, but I just don't see why you'd bring in another young big when you have 3 top 8 picks bigs under 24 years old.

I don't see the value in Knight as your 3rd guard for the Pels, but you've been trying to trade Holiday for a few years so you may see value in him as the starting PG, but if the Pels trade for him it wouldn't be as the long term starter unless Holiday has told them he isn't resigning.

Do you have any potential trade partners not listed or feel I'm misreading the ones I listed? Tobias Harris was resigned with the intention of flipping, is a good player at a position of need on an old cap contract, and he only fetched expirings. Wilson Chandler was signed for the same reason and the Nuggets have found more value in keeping him than trading him. Just because a player should fetch more doesn't mean they will. I still can't believe the Tobias Harris trade, yet it happened.

they are already $14M below the cap (and $2M below the floor).

and their future cap sheet is pretty clean, outside of Chandler's deal. all their core guys are either locked into reasonable new cap deals or on rookie contracts that don't come up until 18-19 (unless you want to count Tucker or Alex Len's RFA this summer...i don't)

to me, PHX moving Knight is more of a clear out dead weight move than a save $$ move.



not too sure about Knight in NOP either. i get dumping Evans for something. but 3 more years of Brandon Knight doesn't do much for this team. a small, ball dominant combo guard who isn't a great passer or defender who has had one very good half season and would be on his 4th team in 7 years?

i semi-joked before the summer that the Pels would sell the 2016 1st for him b/c it would be a vintage Demps move.


if anything, i'd work my arse off to get a 3 teamer going with Philly:

Knight to PHI
Noel or Okafor to NOP
picks/expirings to PHX

that's fair. i'm less bullish, but it's possible there's still a jump for him. the trade to PHX and injuries have derailed him.

i wouldn't be upset at giving up Evans/Ajinca for Knight. still a good deal for the Pels. especially if they aren't sure about paying Holiday or if he even wants to stay.

This is not Brandon Knight related, but I thought I'd share this here without making a new thread.

Edit: Link is to Twitter of pelican insider who claims Pels will definitely make a trade when Tyreke gets back.

Not certain that is what he is saying. Even if it is, this is just Deano Hanson, a part time "reporter" that was on the radio. Not an insider.
