We should offer Shved 2 years with a player option the second year, so that we can sign for more money next year (3 years $15M seems pretty fair to me).



I like to watch Shved as much as the next guy, but he's not worth investing real money in. He's not very good at basketball, and I don't see him getting much better, functionally.

The cap going up has me getting a little bit carried away.:dead:


:russ:

It's all good. I think, if you're team is going to be bad, Shved is a great player to have. Entertaining, weird, unconventional -- I've actually always dug watching him. He'd be much more effective in europe, but I'm glad I got to watch him for a season... and a season where it didn't cost us.

Houston played for the New York Knicks for nine seasons before retiring due to injury in 2005. He is currently the assistant general manager for the Knicks, and has been active in the Greenwich community as far as celebrity residents go. According to Mosher, Houston, his wife and seven children plan to stay in Greenwich, but are looking to relocate closer to downtown.

Well if we don't make the playoffs then we in trouble with no draft pick

Whose fault is it we have no draft pick though? If we don't make the playoffs, it sucks, but oh well.

A better measure of success this season will be if:
1. Kristaps, Grant and any of the other young acquisitions show growth and potential.

2. The pieces brought in fit well enough to show that the system is effective. For example, if Derrick Williams can go from bust to a pay day next offseason, that's a great selling point to FA's.

3. The team makes a marked improvement in the win column, 20 more wins is what it'd take just to fight for a playoff spot. That's a lot to ask for from a 17 win team that is bringing in so many new players (especially when a chunk of them are young). But they do need to improve that mark by a significant amount.

4. The team establishes a real identity. It looks like Phil went for smart players who defend well (with the one obvious exception so far). If he can get those guys to establish a hard working, selfless identity for the franchise it will go much further to helping our future than bringing in guys who are flashy names but don't fit that mold. Those guys would cost more and while they might get us into the playoffs, signing one way players to massive deals has proven to be a failure for us. At best, we'd have a treadmill core that's hard to build around.

Nah in the scheme of things it's all about Porzingis. He has to eventually be a star for us to have hope to contend one day and we won't find that out for a few years
