Nah. I'm a Knicks fan only. I'll catch whatever's on. But I only make an active effort to watch Knicks games. Ima watch some Laker, Sixer, Wolves, and Nuggets games too though. Need to see those Rooks.

Yeah bro I always keep an eye on other teams to scout players I like

Yeah its my opinion. I'm not Isola talking about shyt is a guarantee.

Also I'm not one of those conspiracy guys talking about Phil is trying to force Melo out of town, and I'm not against Melo staying either.

What I'm saying is if Phil was really trying to do a slow build through FA why would he get 2 guys on short deals that will opt out if they play well?

If the knicks plan to keep them they will then eat into the knicks cap space next years when they opt out to get a raise. If they decide to leave to just go to another team the knicks need to find players all over again to replace them. If they suck and stay those deals are hard to swallow either.

In the era of the cap raise where every year the minimum goes up those two contracts are basically expiring.

Very good points, I didn't even look at it from that POV

But you can look at it from the POV of if both guys have the type of season that warrants a bigger contract, I can see the team being very successful and possibly winning the Atlantic...which leaves the Knicks as a more attractive FA destination.

Consistency leads to chemistry so even if they out perform the contract in yr 1, D will is young enough to consider signing long-term if he really fits the triangle. So it's a win-win regardless

Non taken. I know what you mean

 

[Crown Bearer]

Still would've liked Biyombo but this is the next best thing and for that money...alright Phil We actually have 2 solid centers brehs . Knicks having one of the best offseasons in the league.

All Phil needs to do now is find a way to get rid of Calderon

 

[Mr swag]

Does the Knicks own there 1st rounder this year? Or is it protected?

 

[JerseyFinest!]
