Masai didn’t want to miss out on Maxey 2.0 after how it went with us (Quickley will never be on Maxey’s level)
This draft compensation gotta be a lot because RJ was definitely gonna age as a negative contract
Edit: draft compensation was one second lmao, guess I wildly overrated OGs trade market
lol what an over pay thank god we didn’t get involved in that
wild slop drop
Honestly more bummed about Quickley getting scooped up he was someone I really wanted to see the Sixers get.
RJ Barrett sucks. Quickleys pretty good though, but you’re getting back one of the worse contracts in the league in rj so I’m expecting like 3 firsts at least here
L trade for NY
[Precious is also sent to NYK](https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1741146518394994898?t=XKeGw73eonm4602OusxUoA&s=19)

RJ Barrett is probably the main piece for Toronto tbh, purely for the Canadian hometown kid marketing
They tripping
Overpay, great trade for raptors IQ will a star like when brunson and markanen, he will have a lot of minutes and touches on this raptors team. Will be a trade we gonna say “why knicks did that trade” fleece by raptors
The Knicks are pure comedy lol
Glad he’s out of trade talks now
Didn’t really want to trade for him and give him the big contract, when he really hasn’t done much
Offensively, was never that good and defensively, I think he’s fallen off from last year
I’ll always view RJ as a slightly better Evan Turner
Good move by the Knicks. Zack lavine here we come!
Meh trade in my opinion. Don’t really give a fuck
Damn I don’t think Morey thought OG was gonna get traded. RJ sucks. Knicks gave up nothing for the best two way role player in the league. Hopefully we’ll get him in free agency.
Fleece
massai saw OG get blocked by sam hauser and said its a wrap lol
Knicks going all-in on mid lmao. What is a Brunson OG core gonna do
Can we pls trade for Kuz
Ridiculous that we couldn’t beat this horrible package.
Not really a fan of Barrett, but I will say that you guys can’t have it both ways; you can’t say the Knicks overpaid, AND RJ is a terrible player/contract.
Anyways, this takes OG off the board, and since the Knicks have his Bird rights now (I think), this gives them the inside lane to re-sign him in the offseason too. Not great, but not the end of the world. Quickley is definitely gone as an option, assuming the Raptors will match any offer this summer and make him their guard for the future.
All in all, our lack of young players will be an interesting hurdle in trade talks. Picks are good for rebuilding teams, but most of the honest-to-god rebuilding teams don’t have anyone of much merit to us. Most front offices want someone semi-proven to sell to fans and the team owner.
Feels like a zero sum trade for me. Neither the Knicks nor Raptors significantly improved with this trade 🤷♂️
So OG ends up going for one good player and a negative contract after chatter of Masai asking for 3-4 1st’s. I’d say this is good for negotiations for Caruso and other players we’ve been linked to whose market seems a bit overpriced
At least we don’t have to give up a first for him now
RJ Barrett is a brick machine.
Much better trade for Toronto than NY. IQ, Scottie, and Siakim are a pretty good trio. The Raptors haven’t had a real PG since Lowrie.
Get me Wiggins!

I’m guessing we were never seriously engaged on OG if this is all Toronto got for him. I just don’t understand how Masai has been willing to let guys walk for nothing and when he finally trades one of them it’s for *this* package
So, why not go after Siakam now?
How about something like Siakam/Schroeder for Harris/Covington + whatever picks it takes to get that done?
A package full of mid for mid+
