Austin Rivers just signed with the Rox. That means Knight won't be getting much of an opportunity after all. Could be done in the NBA.
Probably the best thing Knight could do is get healthy and play overseas next year - the schedule is lighter and he needs to show he can play before he’ll get a decent offer.

What a mess the Rockets are. They must be really desperate to actually want to sign garbage Austin Rivers.

Wow
Big fan of his going in to last year's draft but his FG% is really limiting him....

He's too much of a low-percentage chucker. Not a good fit with a ball-dominant distributor like Luka because he wants the ball in his hands too much. I think players like DSJ will be low-value players in the current/future NBA because they are inefficient and do badly in advanced metrics. At the guard and wing positions, you want 3-and-D guys, distributing ballhandlers, and so on. Not poor-shooting chuckers.

I don't know. I don't think I would give up more than Josh and the Milwaukee pick but he's much much better than anything we currently have (and I like Melton!)

Check out this thread from BW at RealGM for some highlights that are pretty tantalizing.

He’s a nice prospect, I just don’t think he’s the type of pg I want next to Booker. There is a reason Dallas wants to move him as he’s not a good fit with a ball dominant wing(Doncic) Booker would present the same problem. Melton makes a lot more sense as the type of pg that I’d want.

Here are his stats. This year he is averaging 13.0 ppg on 43/35/66 shooting (oof), 4.0 ast, 3.0 reb, 1.3 stl, 3.3 tov in 28.4 mpg. He's scoring more than I thought he'd be, but those percentages are pretty mediocre.

Besides the huge difference in FGAs/points, they are pretty similar first years.

Oubre straight up for DJJr works. This is a bad time to trade Josh.

Oubre has almost no trade value because of his contract status. That’s why we were able to get him for Ariza, who also has almost no trade value.
