they really like who's a top defender and a third scoring option. IQ is the big loss for the Knicks but he wants to start and wants more money than they're willing to spend on him.

If they can re-sign OG in the off-season this will be a good trade for the Knicks.

I much prefer what Toronto got, and that's presuming OG doesn't leave as a free agent. -- nm - David Dec 30, 10:56 2
- I think they got the better of the deal but it wasn't a bad deal for the Knicks who weren't going to pay those guys and would have had them walk - Krusty Dec 30, 11:01 1
  - Quickley meshes well with Scottie Barnes, who is the franchise now. -- (link) - David Dec 30, 11:07
If they don't re-sign OG, then they've been fleeced and it will not be good in Knicksland. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 30, 10:53
