I understand that you are above off-season trade discussion, but I do not understand the need to be condescending about it.

I love off season discussions...you guys are whip smart but Knies is your tragic flaw. I will refrain from pointing this out again. It does nobody any good but c'mon... disagreeing with an air of genuine astonishment is not quite condescending

Discussing potential trades for a guy that we know the gm is discussing trades on is astonishing? Lower your standards!

Out of the last twenty 4th overall picks, how many are clearly better than Knies? Looks like less than half with a few still developing. No chance I’m moving Knies for just 4th overall. It’d need to be a significant overpay. Something that would make their GM sick to his stomach.

Yeah, I would t do just the 4. The reason that keeps being mentioned is that it's the equivalent slot value of 9 and the 25.

One thing to note about the 4 though... The players better than Knies there are, for the most part, way way better than Knies. So much of it is strength of draft dependent. I'm of the mind that this year's draft is one of those years where most of the top 10 ends up real gud. Other years not so much.

Agree. But IDGAF. Overpay or fuck off. He’s a great piece to have on this team.
