The Knicks’ exchange plan for a discontented star initially focused on the Timberwolves center of Karl-Anthony Towns. But now joined by D’Angelo Russell, is more likely to remain Towns in Minnesota. The Knicks should also take Tom Thibodeau, whom Towns had differences.
So New York needs a new unfulfillable dream.
How about Devin Booker?
Marc Berman of the New York Post:
However, since Leon Rose has been hired as president, the player to watch out for is mostly the combined guard Suns Devin Booker, according to league sources.
This vague relationship seems fantasy.
Rose represented Booker before being hired by the Knicks. But the discussion of executives turned into agents who land their former customers far outweighs the reality of what’s really going on.
With four other seasons left on his contract, Booker also has little influence to choose his team. He could request a trade on his own and make them feel obliged to move him. But the main way for players to choose their commercial destination is to refuse to sign again with unwanted teams. Booker who threatens to leave in 2024 won’t scare many teams anytime soon. And many other teams could offer something more than the Knicks, whose main assets include their first players, two first players Mavericks, RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson and Kevin Knox. The most valuable of these assets – the first New York players – would become less valuable with a main Booker.
NBA’s worst winning percentage (29%) since he entered the league and remains bad. But the team with the second-worst winning percentage in that span (33%)?" data-reactid="28">Also, would Booker really try to find his way around New York? He has shown impatience to Phoenix, which has the NBA’s worst hit rate (29%) since joining the league and remains bad. But the team with the second worst percentage of wins in that arc (33%)?
The Knicks.
