Ryno or Knight?

Huh?

 

how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

That's a tough question to answer. Really tough. I'm not even sure what the question is.

 

will see how he plays on the court next week before making any comments

 

Give him 10 games to tell us a tremendous amount about himself.

 

I guess Morey tried everyday for at least one year to dump Ryan without losing his home so, probably the same...at least until Knight comes back and shows he can still be a decent player, that might help.

 

20 million vs 15 million.

You don't really need to use their names anymore unless they contribute.

 

Anybody but Ryno.

 

Trade CP3 for Ryno.

 

all i know is we could use ryno and melton this year.

if knight/chriss are more tradable at the deadline then acquiring them was a good move. if we can't get anything decent at the deadline for them then it wasn't.

pretty straight forward for me.

 

As thin as we are, I still think Ryno is unplayable here. And Ryno at $21M this year and next (highly doubt he leaves any money on the table for us) would be one of the most radioactive contracts in the league. He looks like a fringe NBA player at this point.

I have zero regrets, and this trade only looks bad to some because we’ve gotten absolutely nothing out of Knight/Chriss up until this point. Chriss looks like a lost cause, but hopefully with BK returning soon he can play meaningful minutes. Sure, he’s way overpaid at $15M, but we’re much more likely to move an athletic combo guard at that price than we would be trying to move an old fossil that can’t shoot and looks out of place in today’s NBA at $21M.

This trade is still a win in my book.

 

I'm exited about knight bunny misses

 

it sure seemed like a win when we made it, but the proof of how good of a trade it was will be decided by what kind of return we get for knight/chriss. the point of the trade was to get more tradable assets. if they aren't actually more tradable, and they haven't been more playable... maybe it wasn't such a good trade. it all depends on how knight looks on the court and what if anything we can get for him in trade.

right now the grade is incomplete. but if you go by on court production alone, melton and ryno could've helped more up to this point. for the trade to be a win i'd want to see knight be more productive than ryno/melton could've been (not hard, just hasn't happened yet) or traded for something ryno couldn't have been traded for, like getting a real player back or getting under the LT (whichever direction morey chooses).

in short, if you look at the first 20 games in a vacuum we would've been better on-court with ryno/melton. however, its not going to be hard to turn the ryno/knight trade into a win.

 

Knight can shoot, handle and plays a position we desperately need help at.

There’s a chance he isn’t moved at all...
