Thats great, happy to see Iggy get a chance elsewhere. No idea who Terrance is?

To expand on the deal, the Knicks also receive Vincent Porier and a 2021 second round pick from Philly as well.
So full assets the Knicks get Vincent Poirier, Terrence Ferguson and a 2022 second round pick from Philly for Iggy and Austin Rivers.

Terrence Ferguson is a 6'7 swingman who skipped college to play in Australia. Considered a top 20 high school player he is known for his explosive athleticism. He was the slam dunk champion of the 2016 McDonald's All American game. He's a good enough two way player with some range in his game. Coming out of high school he was skinny but he's put on some muscle. His best year as a pro was his second with OKC when he averaged 7 PPG as a starter. 

Basically the kid is a project. He's still on his rookie contract but this summer is his team option year so if he pans out the Knicks can keep him and if not he's gone. Low risk, high reward player.

Happy for Rivers that team did right by him and let him go.  He came for less than market value but was likely never gonna get the opportunity to play for Thibs again.   He can probably get some minutes   there. Hopefully his baby and cute girlfriend goes with him.

 I'm not sure he is as good as Iggy.

I'm not sure either. Then again we are talking the 15th guy on a 17 man roster.

He most likely isn't regarding Ferguson. His Stat line is ten times worse than Frank's this year but he defends so whatever. Personally Pinson might be better. Iggy was killing it in G league and we just give him to our conference rival. Oh well.

The report is we are going hard at Drummomd in the buyout market for some reason. I like Mitch much better to be honest and he would only sign here if we gave a guarantee of being resigned. Which I don't want at all.

Tough one. I would like to get Drummond. I'm curious what Mitch might bring in a trade. Or a part of a major trade.
