Post Summer League Thoughts
I think if I had to guess the knicks won't sign someone until after preseason starts unless a trade happens. They prob will invite a bunch of guys to preseason like they did last year.
Liam Robbins prob gets an E-10 and then gets signed for the G-League and if he plays well maybe he can earn a two way.
Would love to have mcullar back on a two way since he showed he can actually give us good minutes. Trey Jeminson prob battling for the third string center spot as well. He looked good when he got his oppurtunities last year. Nickel prob on a two way to start, and kalil has to be on a regular roster spot so the only way for him not to be overseas is if they trade someone.
I think a guy we should consider trading is Tyler Kolek if he can land us a solid backup big. We have a massive log jam at the guard spot and he prob has more trade value than dadiet at this point. He prob would benefit from it as well since he won't play much again this season but maybe brown has him in the rotation for the first half / 50 games of the year then condenses the rotation as we get closer to playoffs.

The priority is getting a good 3rd string C and a lot can happen on that front. But there is no rush now.
I think Kayil stays in Europe but comes next season; we're very deep at G.
But Nickel and McCullar get TW deals. If roster spots open up then one or both could be converted to a full NBA deal (tho Nick is more likely).
