Knicks all of a sudden have some talent; bet they add Monroe as well
Grant, Melo, Grant, Monroe, Euro

You can't switch Russ onto the bigger wings (and God no not onto a big). And if he's guarding the 2 he's going to be off the ball a lot and he's proven the last couple years that he's awful at that.
And Payne isn't long enough to switch onto anyone. You realize the guards we talk about being able to switch are 6'6"? Payne can guard the point and that's probably it.

If the team wants to go big then the Thunder will ABUSE that team offensively. But, when they go small Russ can body up a bigger wing. Russel is as strong of a guard as there is in the league.
Its not perfect but the differential between offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency is goingto be huge.

Outbre had a defensive rating of 92 last year despite the team being poor defensively without him on the court. That sounds good to me

Knicks need to sell Melo quickly IMO. Go full rebuild.

Is Payne a good shooter? I don't know what advantage he gives you if you decide to go small. Isn't his best trait is that he's good at running an offense?
Payne allows you to rest Russ and run the offense through Durant when he's on the floor and Russ is gone. I'm sure he will play with Durant and Russ, but I don't think that will be one of your better lineups which is my entire point from the beginning.
I like Portis a lot, didn't think he would drop tothe Wiz. Odd fit with Bulls loaded at the position.
