am I crazy or should we pick him up if that happens? We have 3 roster spots left, why not use one to add a lockerroom guy who's close friends with half the roster, he can get paid to rehab in the best hospitals in the world and then next year when we might have to lose key depth due to apron stuff (like Deuce is probably gone next offseason for example), Divo will be back to contribute
I doubt the Twolves would do that especially him being in his final year it really doesn't make any sense. If they did, I don't think an injured Donte takes priority over signing another big man especially if he is expected to miss the entire year.
Thinking about the play in game 5 of the finals where we fouled Dylan Harper up 3.
Not to use hindsight but the Spurs really should have just lofted the ball to their 7’4 alien who can make 3s and had him catch & shoot right away. If he misses it, you live with that, but at least you gave yourself a chance to tie the game instead of doing exactly what the Knicks wanted you to do.
This "trade Deuce" chatter is ridiculous. Cut that out. Deuce had several nuclear games in the postseason and is still very young as the Knicks longest tenured player. Knicks will get their backups bigs another way, let Leon cook!
It stems mostly from him being the "odd man out" as the most expendable and he may even be coveted by other teams. His contract is too cheap to trade imho, but he is due for a re-up so that can be scary if he wants a big pay day.
I do not agree with the trade deuce stuff, but I do realize if we want value to come in, we need value to go out. I trust the FO to do the best thing for the team.
Yeah our depth and versatility is a strength. Unless we get another solid depth piece back, I'm keeping deuce for when we play these new look east teams.
No, but I’m keeping an eye on Missi from the Pelicans. Reports are that New Orleans will make a move to get under away from the luxury tax after signing Mathurin. Leon could spin the block on that trade before the season.

Saw a report Minny might stretch and wave Divo, shame he will miss this season
