It’s been a while since I’ve been this entertained by an article—great writing!

I generally agree on who has/will have hand. However, I think there’s a chance the Knicks’ bargaining position could get worse relative to other teams. For now there is no one that can offer anything similar, but that could change quickly if someone like OKC decides it’s time to compete now by trading for a star. Also, if DM takes a step to 30 ppg, it’s conceivable the asking price could even increase. These are probably less likely than the possibilities you noted, but my scenarios would not surprise me either.

The demand by Ainge is probably just too high, so the Knicks should probably decline based on that, but I wouldn’t count on the pressure shifting in the Knicks’ favor to get a deal done later.
