Acy/Outlaw traded to Knicks
- Thread starter HereWeBoogie
- Start date
Here is an interesting report:
"Kevin Pelton posted some analysis of the trade on ESPN insider and a new tidbit of information was revealed: Apparently Outlaw wasn't eligible for the stretch provision because his deal was signed in the last CBA. Ellington however is, which saves the Kings some money this year if they use it on him."

We lose one of our best team guys and downgrade our back up SF and add another SG which we don't need since we are developing two already....another great move by PDA right up there with his Landry signing.

The deal is for players that wouldn't play on either team. No big deal. Definitely not the big deal you're making out of it.
I think we are. These are interim moves.
I read somewhere that part of the deal was the Knicks guaranteed Acy's contract. Cannot for the life of me remember where, however.
EDIT: Found it.

As part of the deal, I'm told, the Knicks have told Quincy Acy they will guarantee his deal for next season ($915k) - http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2014/08/06/knicks-kings-trade-quincy-acy-wayne-ellington/13675973/…

I like Acy. But we still got his daddy in town, that's Mr. Reggie Evans.
For the ever pessimistic crew, take a look at the bright side, our GM has clearly cleaned-up the Maloof army in just over a year in his tenure.
I bet PDA could even make a trade for the Kings' legend also known as Kenny Thomas if he get on early.
On a serious note, Ellington is a shooter but undersized SG.
We need shooters around DMC. But part of is thinking that the FO will pit him against TWill and take the victor into the roster.
Tyler is like the Kandi Man except that he was not a number 1 pick.
He was a big man stand out in high school, oozing with potential. But I kept wondering why teams keep shipping him around.
If we can somehow ship JT pretty soon, I think FO could give him a chance to try out as backup C. Moreland is more of a PF body right now.

Don't Cousins and Tyler hate each other? Was it not Cousins doing the choke sign to him when they played against GSW and last year before Cousins left the game with injury Tyler was getting awfully physical and both were talking at each other.
Tyler as a back up C is not bad tbh he's pretty massive/mobile, Ellington can shoot but jesus he is as soft as they come, the guy would literally die breaking a nail.

Fair enough. Bit of a wash move in some ways but if you keep WE you get a knockdown shooter for some spot minutes or more if Ben or nik struggle.
I like Acy too but I think his actual on court impact was overrated. Infectious personality though.
Outlaw. Meh. Good guy but an absolute chucker when he's not on he can shoot you out of a game very quickly.
A bit of a meh trade!
At least it balances out the roster a little bit for us. Get rid off the glut at PF by trading Acy and Outlaw who spent a bit of time there but is more of a SF and bring in a deep bencher SG who is a good 3PT shooter.
Tyler is just a knucklehead that will get waived anyway! Not the sharpest tool in the shed!
