As I look back on that offseason, there was a 3 out there that we probably had a shot at getting. I was not a huge fan of the DeRozan fit with Luka, but I felt the same way about Din and that has worked out well. A Luka/DeRozan pairing surrounded by 3&D guys would have been interesting. Kind of crazy that Chicago got both guys.
Thoughts on RJ Barrett? He is going to want a big pay day soon. If the Knicks get Mitchell, it would seem to be a bad fit with three (4 counting Randle) heavily ball dependent players. Barrett is not very efficient and likes to have the ball, but he is still just 22. He would be another big physical guard that appears to fit what Dallas is looking for.
Not sure if the KNicks will look to move him in the future or if we had the pieces to interest them or another team.
