I just want to say that if the Knicks trade KP, I hope they burn down the Garden tonight.

I honestly don't see any package the Suns could offer that would make me ok with trading KP, even if Booker was on the table. The Celtics are really the only option if this goes down, which it wont because god doesn't hate me that much. I hope.

I'd be ok with Booker and the #4 pick. I wouldn't be happy about it, I'd still prefer KP, but I would be able to handle him being traded for that.

Yeah I'm sure they are.

Bulls won't do it without Dunn and either Wiggins or Lavine(even then Lavine has an ACL)

Take Jalen Brown out of that deal and I'd do that as Boston.

Or maybe keep Brown in but get the Knicks to throw in something more on their end like a heavily protected first rounder.

Brown being shipped would be real bad news if Hayward didn't sign so I'm uncomfortable with it

Even the idea of getting 7 + Wiggins + Dunn isn't all that appealing

Maybe I'm underrating how much more room he has to improve his game, but it seems like Wiggins is good at volume scoring and nothing else. #7 will probably be...Malik Monk at best?, and then Kris Dunn is trash

If they do get close to #3, Nets pick, and Brown, I'd still hate it but I'd understand. Being married into a Celtics family would make it sting though.

Here is the complete list of 21 year olds with around Wiggins usage since 2000
http://www.basketball-reference.com...order_by=ts_pct

As far as efficiency (TS%) he's right around the middle of that pack. He's probably near the bottom of that list in terms of those guys because he doesn't do enough of the other stuff, but those are almost all excellent players and in scoring terms Wiggins is right there with them.

BONUS: KAT is ridiculous.

doesn't refusing to accept a trade for a massive set of assets look better to the player? Or are we assuming that he's already pissed off because he has to play next to Carmelo Anthony, the world's worst teammate

Nets are going to make the playoffs before the Knicks do but it's true I don't want to root for them. But that's only because the arena always looks weirdly dark, like an ABA game where they couldn't afford to turn on all the lights, and their white/black with a massive red INFOR patch color scheme is super dumb

I guess I'm a Nets fan now. I live in Brooklyn anyways, why not. I also spend my weekends spying on the neighbors through a telescope and Caris "It's French For The Vertical" is welcome over to my roof any time
