    There’s a way, but there’s probably not a will.

    Sure but paying $40 million to OG on a rebuilding team isn’t the right move. He’s more valuable to a true contender as an ultra elite 3&D guy playing off Randle and Brunson than he is as a guy getting iso touches to “expand his game” with the Raptors. We need to see guys like Quickley, RJ, Gradey, Scottie, Ochai, etc get the opportunity to expand their games, OG just doesn’t fit this timeline tbh.

  3. There’s definitely a way, but there’s also a reason why we traded him. We could renounce Trent and Brown and salary dump Boucher and that would get us up to the cap space needed but I think the trade was a mutual split so I don’t see him coming back

    That’d be the biggest fleece, but I hope to see OG get the biggest bag somewhere else. Dude deserves it for what he adds on the defensive end of the game.

    We chose to pay Scottie Barnes over him. Time will tell if it was the correct move.

    Even in a scenario where…

    -We decline Brown’s option

    -We renounce our Bird Rights to Gary Trent Jr. and others

    -No one offer sheets IQ

    We still would have below the 40 million that Philly, Detroit and others can offer

    I get that we’re now looking for our Anunoby replacement but it’s just not feasible, although it would be very funny to get O.G. back for essentially free after trading him

    With the money we paid Scottie? I doubt it…

    we can, but why would he willingly return to a rebuild when he will likely get what he’s looking for from several contenders

    Besides renouncing everyone but quick, they’d have to dump CB and perhaps mcdaniels somewhere too.

    Trade Jak and draft a Center and then maybe OG comes back

    Do people really think OG is leaving New York?

    Unless I am mistaken, he can sign a better deal as a free agent than as an extension.

    All I know is If if signs here, the Raptors will make playoffs automatically.

  13. He’s just declining it because he knows he’ll get paid more in FA right? He’s not actually gonna leave the Knicks?

  14. I think that ship has sailed. I’d expect the Knicks to give him a bag and trade away Randle this off season. Despite OG having a history of not being healthy we’ve already seen the kind of impact he can have in a good defensive scheme like Thibbs.

  15. I’d rather he re-signs with the Knicks so GMs don’t put us on their shitlist for future trades. “How can we be sure X player will re-sign with us when OG didn’t?”

    OG left Toronto for a reason. Why would he want to come back? We don’t even have the $$ to bring him back based on what he would want.

  17. Why would we bring him back? He’ll have made close to $90M before the team is even remotely competitive.

    He’s declining the player option so that he can sign a new contract and get more money. I doubt the raps will bother to peruse him. Not enough money to spread around, and I’m not sure he’s worth it either.

    It doesn’t make basketball or financial sense for us to bring him back. He’s expensive without appreciably raising our ceiling.

    I wouldn’t mind making a max offer just to fuck with New York
