Knicks president Leon Rose better have another deal up his sleeve now that Dejounte Murray will be teaming up with the Hawks’ Trae Young.
In the end, Leon Rose either lost his nerve or never really wanted to throw his chips into the middle of the table to begin with. Maybe the Knicks president will clarify that the next time he goes on the record, which is believed to be sometime in 2031 or so.There’d better be another deal Rose has up his sleeve or in his imagination now that, rather than teaming with — presumably — Jalen Brunson at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks could have bettered the Hawks’ final offer. After all, the Knicks have 11 first-round picks scattered across the next seven drafts, and right now every one of them is simply gathering dust. Even if it had taken four of them — along with, say, Evan Fournier and Immanuel Quickley — to bring Murray to New York and set the Knicks up with their most dynamic backcourt since Clyde and Pearl, Rose should have done that.
It hurts extra that it was the Hawks, tamers of the 2020-21 Knicks’ joyride, fellow residents of the Eastern Conference’s lower-middle class, and now a few pegs higher than that. The Knicks crave good players, and if Brunson, Murray, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett and Obi Toppin might not exactly make the Bucks, Heat or Celtics quake with fear, they would have been a fine starting point. The Knicks would have been better. It’s about getting better.
Now, we wait for Rose to show us something else. We wait for him to reveal Plan B. Until he officially folds his hand, we must merely be skeptical, not fatalistic. Still, in the wake of this, and with a trade history that has more misses than hits so far, it’s impossible not to remember this line from Gordon Gekko to Bud Fox in “Wall Street”:
