Could we grab Obi in that Jazz/Knicks trade? He fits into one of our trade exceptions and we'd send out another first round pick to Danny.
liam, you've suggested that twice on this page. Personally, I'm not giving up a 1st round pick for a what, 12th man at best. Beyond that, C's already have traded away 1st round picks. They have to start re-building their stash of pick assets, not trading them away.
I see Toppin more as a third big. I see Toppin as a better asset than that really late first will bring. He's on a low contract until 2024.
I'd give up a late 1st for Toppin as well. Dude was one of the best players in college and then a lottery pick not that long ago. Knicks are so terribly run can't put much stock in anything they do, but even in the limited minutes Toppin has performed pretty well. 5th from the draft class in WS/48, a positive BPM and VORP, etc. Definitely worth a 1st as a flyer on him. Kid has talent.
