If we can do it without giving up deuce then I’m game
cesarjulius
doesn’t make sense
Joetheshow1
This would be an incredible trade, don’t know how we’d swing it tho
staymelooo
Not happening unless they trade Josh Hart. So not happening
gbnypat
I don’t see how it’s possible without trading a core guy and they’re done doing that
noodles408
Pass. There’s a reason the Celtics moved him. Good player, just not as good as he thinks he is.
mr_grission
Dunno how the math would work here
KidSickarus
Genuine question, has any move the Knicks made in the past two years been rumored in one of these tweets beforehand?
slayerkj
For who? Deuce and picks that don’t exist?
dedbeats
This is as much a depth move as it is a chance to give a former Celtic the opportunity to get revenge on the team that let him go before they won their chip
severinks
We have Marcus Smart already, his name is Deuce McBride. And Deuce can shoot.
Odysseus_Lannister
If we get rid of hart or deuce then the vibes are dead and gone.
LamarMVPJackson
They trading Mitch? That’s the only thing I can think of
Ronnie2kDropCode
This would be a great pickup. Mitch and Precious would work salary wise I think, tho idk how I feel about trading two of our bigs
printerpaperwaste
If you think the depth is thin now, imagine how thin it would be after this. The team can’t sustain that many high salaries and still be able to field a roster.
flyswayerdad
No thanks

Oh shit bruh.

This one would be a head scratcher for me. They already have a defensive guard in Deuce, plus they already signed payne and drafted kolek. I don’t understand why they would need to get Smart.
Then again the wording is merely “have had discussions” and that “no deal is imminent” so there’s a chance it could have been due diligence/brainstorming discussions.
Also he does say that they are “willing to be active on the market” so that tells me that they’re probably exploring any number of potential avenues and not just focused on Smart.
EDIT: I just looked up Smart’s contract and his salary is about 20 mil. That would mean that a trade would have to look something like Josh+Deuce (which i would be stunned if they did that) or Mitch+Deuce+one other player making a small amount. I don’t think that would be a good trade for us either
Hot-Turnover4883
We already have our own version of Marcus Smart in Deuce
danomite555
Doesn’t make sense salary wise and just seems like overkill if anything. We need bench scoring much more than another perimeter defender. He’s great but between OG/Bridges/Hart/Deuce and possibly even Dadiet they’re covered
manfromfuture
We need some more front court players.
TheBensonz
Smart + Thibs is a no brainer. Get it done.
Stannis_Baratheon244
I’d rather have deuce than give up a haul for smart which would prob include him.
Little_Animal8807
Leon needs to simmer down already. Too much
i-piss-excellence32
I hope not. We don’t need him shooting 20% all the time
FlockingPigeons
The math is really just not mathing here. Maybe at the mid season mark where they can send out Mitch and Precious. If they were to try and do it now it’s got to be Mitch, McBride and one of Sims, Dadiet or Kolek. Unless they are gonna trade Hart but like why would they do that?
patrickthunnus
Makes no sense, financially and fit-wise
datatadata
I hate to be that person but this is mathematically impossible unless we trade away a core player
DavidTrillsdale
Not enough salary without giving up multiple players and/or a core player, and team depth is thin as is. Won’t happen, and won’t be worth it if it does happen.
Shadsterz
YOU MOVE ONE OF THE ROOKIES, YOU DONT NEED TO TRADE MCBRIDE
InfinityGauntlet-6
Can we at least start the season with what we have first?
Little_Animal8807
Imagine a starting lineup of Brunson, smart, mikal, OG, towns, with hart as your 6th man. You’d desperately need players to come on the cheap though
JNerdGaming
dont trade a real one
ChaosIceKing
Doesn’t seem worth it. Deuce has a higher ceiling than Smart on a much cheaper contract
RicoGemini
Imagine OG and Smart on the same team

Only way I see this happening that it works and we don’t lose any core players is to trade Mitch, sign and trade Jacob toppin to a 3.6 mill contract (the remainder of our cap space) and add a rookie to the deal. That’s the only way it works without trading a core guy. But I honestly wouldn’t do it. I feel Mitch can still be a big piece of this team moving forward.
theRestisConfettii
It would be Mitchell Robinson + salary filler.
Marcus Smart would be absolute gold in this lineup. I’ve been saying this since he was on the block last season.
whiskeyandtea
The only person I could see us trading is Mitch, but why would we trade him for a guard? We’re already thin at center, why would we make ourselves even thinner? Does Leon of Rosterexia? We just need to accept and love the roster we have. We need some roster positivity.
daett0
Sounds like a leak for leverage in another trade ?
adamstubbs
Smart would be sick on this team.
Acceptable_Pop4515
Not needed. Not worth breaking up what we have right now.
joshdelclikesreddit
Shamet for smart
LetsGetSomeChickenn
Bruh no way
mattr1198
Tbh, at this point, you have to take rumors like this with a massive grain of salt. Given the KAT, Bridges, and OG trades came out of nowhere, it’s unlikely this is being seriously considered.
RedUzer36
Leon better chill the fuck out. Better not touch Hart. He’s THE BEST utility guy in the league. Rebounds and hustles like a dawg.
Tortilladelfuego
Yikes bye Mitch
blkhwk27
i mean, is it possible now, yes, is it worth it now, no. midseason though, if its a combination of mitch & achiuwa i feel that would be a bit more reasonable — would be putting a hell of a lot of trust in sims as the backup center though
