Wait, I don't think Lopez is injury prone....

“I guess that’s possible, but we are not here trying to squeeze in, we are not here trying to go from 15 to 36. That’s just not who we are,” Fisher said. “So it can turn around quickly. It will turn around quickly. But we don’t really have to put a number on it.

“We are 6-21 in games [decided] by six points or less this year. So we lost 21 games on two possessions. So we don’t have to go from 15 to 36 next year. We can go from 15 to 63 if we really want to. But that is up to us.”

4 years $50 mil for Lopez

Smh why am I the only one not excited by this ? I don't get why people are happy with this over Monroe ( who I didn't want but realized could be a big help to melo ) how hard is it to find a big to play defense( lopezs level of defense ) ? To me it's harder to duplicate scoring like Monroe

So the knicks will keep Calderon?

For what purpose ?you see how limited our roster is offensively , we better hope he regains his stroke

We are just trying to be optimistic, breh
We all know that it could be a whole lot worse so we are just happy and he's a decent big man so we ain't stressing

@Malta what you think of Robin Lopez on the Knickstape, breh?

I rather take my chances with a player like Lou Williams...Calderon clearly better at running the team, but I think he's passed being really effective out there.

Hypothetically speaking, if knicks were to acquire Lee, wouldn't they have to include Calderon anyway?

Options are scarce now breh. I'm not thrilled with the price.

Only centers left on the market:
Kanter (r)
Koufas
Biyombo
McGee
Baynes (r)
and the rest are trash

Since RoLo is only 27 I can live with this

Nobody wants Calderon's bum ass. Lou would give us some much needed scoring.

Lee, 32, is due to make $15.5 million next season and is looking for a new home. The Knicks have approximately $19 million in cap space and can absorb Lee's contract in a trade.

Lee's deal would come off the books in 2016 and the expiring contract would give the Knicks an extra $15 million in cap space to spend in the summer of 2016, when the cap is expected to increase by $22 million.

I'd do this to get rid of Calderon, but I doubt the Warriors would be so generous.

Lopez the same age as Deandre and in 3 years with the way its rising this is more than fair

Good article on Bismack Biyombo and his impact.

Happy we got what 7 mill left.. Houston would prolly match bev for that but we should try I like our squad we need bench depth tho who's out there ?

Technically with the Knicks only getting Afflalo and Lopez so far...Phil is "not" messing with the association save again
