If there is they aren't releasing it. I believe Griffin said it is sometime during player workouts.

Crewzy had hinted at either last Sunday or this Sunday, I don't recall.

My crazy guess is this will all happen June 21st, day after we draft Zion. AD wants to make sure his trade is after we get Zion so nothing can overshadow him

The Knicks know that #3 has to be on the table and I would bet money they will happily part with it for AD because that is the logical thing to do in their situation and Perry isn't stupid.


I have to agree with this.

Not even close. All indications are that it will be within the next week.

A trade would likely need to be agreed to by or on draft night, so that if draft picks are involved they can pick the player we want for us.

Agreed.

They can publicly posture all they want but pretty much every asset they have is under discussion if they are going to get AD.

They don’t put it on the table, they don’t make the cut of teams we get into serious talks with.

I think his point is a better team like (just hypothetically) Philly or The Bucks May trade a good asset for a one year rental to be in win now mode (although Philly did that twice already this year)

I just Don’t know which one of those teams has the assets we would want (although I think Simmons and Davis would work better than Simmons and Embiid)

Toronto traded a max guy with 3 years left plus a late first round pick for a max with 1 year left. That's not near the risk that someone trading for AD will have to take.
They got him pretty cheap, really.
The Pels traded 2 first rounders for a year and a half of Cousins; one first rounder for a year and a half of Mirotic. Those were riskier trades than what Toronto made.

And the Raptors have just made the finals.

Win or not against the Warriors, Masai’s gamble on Kawhi paid major dividends for them.

Right, they would’ve never got this far with last years team. It’s already worth it, even if he leaves.

Right on cue, talk has started up of Giannis walking if they don’t make the 2020 finals.

shite like this is why small market fans hate the NBA media.

Agree! This big market spin by the media relentless. Why would Giannis leave the perfect situation in Milwaukee for train wreck franchise like New York or instability in LA.

They won the same amount of regular season games last year. The east was significant worse this year with no lebron, injured John wall, and regressive Boston
