Looks like the Knicks probably have a pretty good idea on what OG wants because his agent Sam Rose is the Knicks President Leon Rose’s son. This isn’t the first time NYK did this either, Brunson’s agent was also Sam Rose when the Knicks managed to sway him away from Dallas. Interesting coincidence?

Don't think we really need to speculate on whether the Knicks know they can re-sign OG. His agent is the Knicks president's son. I'm pretty sure they know.

Last time we tampered it worked out great
Coincidence? I think NOT!

lol rip to another SRP
I love OG.
but once you watch his shot creating and dribbling, that 40m/yr is gonna look like a lot of money.
This is important context lol. Makes the trade better
This is actually a great deal for the Knicks if they’re confident they can re-sign him. Knicks have been making great moves
There is no way they gave up 2 of their top 5 for a 6 month non-superstar rental. Of course they know.
Lmao the brunson strategy boogalo 2
The fact that i don’t have to listen to more stupid Knicks trades for Mitchell is worth millions alone.
Seems like a huge conflict of interest Mr Silver
This… kinda sounds like a huge conflict of interest?
I’m sure there was a discussion on re-signing, but lots can happen in 6 months. Definitely leaning that was though -main question is if he takes a discount.
Tampering 101
I wonder if the raptors knew that. I’m sure most teams were trying to offer low because of the risk and I wonder if Knicks mention he’s a FA lol
Oh wow this makes more sense lol. I just don’t think OG is that good ?
Silva is about to open a case 🤣
It is such a huge conflict of interests, that it shouldn’t be legal. NBA should definitely look into this.
Do the Knicks still have the assets to go for Mitchell?
I wonder if that lawsuit was ever resolved
I really don’t understand how this trade makes the Knicks better. OG and IQ seem to be about the same player with IQ having an insanely higher ceiling. Add on RJ who is not just a salary match and a second round pick, this trade just makes zero sense to me.
OG is the prototypical 3&D wing in today’s NBA. He can also bully smaller defenders with his back to the basket. Aside from that, he’s helpless off the dribble and can’t finish in traffic. If he accepts his limitations, he’ll be a great piece for the Knicks.
Sounds like the Knicks got their man for a max of 4yrs/$182mil (~$45mil average)
lots of salty Mavs fans in these comments
Nepotism in sports is something people don’t talk about much
Hell yeah tampering for the win
I want to know what the Knicks roster will look like in 2025. Who else does Sam Rose represent?
Isn’t Sam Rose the one who was supposed to pull Embiid away from the Sixers, too? 🙄
