I Bet He Expected To Get Traded And The Knicks Told His Agent No One Was Interested

He Figured He'd Come To NY Knowing The Team Wouldn't Be Good But He Can Inflate His Numbers In A Big Market Then Leave And Make Bank

The Losing Would Hurt But He'd Suck Up The 2 Years Figuring It'd Be Worth

Well Now He's Losing AND It Appears No One Gives A fukk About Him

His Plan Failed So He's Gonna Bail On NY And Try To Prove His Worth On A Playoff Team To Show He's Worthy Of Admiration

i hope aaron leaves...
the market for him would be extremely dried up unless he's looking for a 3 year 15 mill kinda deal with his old, no ceiling, fake kobe ass
tired of him taking shots that should be going to kp
tired of him isolating repeatedly like he's earned that right in the nba with accolades.
he can get the fukk :camby:

I was thinking this too but cap is going up again and you see how these teams been out here spending the last few FAs

If AA isnt willing to come off the bench idk what his options are. Unless he'd rather just chuck for a bad team, which is always possible. He's not starting for a good squad at this point.

He can make more...

The cap increased have you seen these contracts lately? Shumpert is making $10M a season.

The Cavs are also handing out bad deals like candy. I guess there's always a chance but he's been legit bad for the last two years and he's not a viable starter on a good team.

AA's not getting 8 mill from anyone else. I'm hoping they annoy him enough so he does leave though.

Last years numbers in POR and DEN:

This year's numbers in NY:

He opted last year for basically the same amount of money from Portland when he had a worse year from an efficiency standpoint.

I think this offseason is gonna be a damned free for all where everyone gets overpaid...been expecting that since Jodie Meeks got close to 7 million a year off an alright season on the terrible Lakers a couple of years ago (right after the new tv deal).

Never underestimate teams handing out bad contracts I guess.

He's around 40% on 3PT this year and for his career and has a reputation for defense and professionalism around the league. Afflalo and O'Quinn's contracts are bargains given what a lot of comparable players are getting or are going to get with the cap increase around the league.

AA can be frustrating because of his tendency to chuck long two's and isolate but he's not that bad of a player honestly and I rather he return. Dude can shoot, post up, decent defender, decent passer, and can potentially lead a second unit.

Yep.

Lance Stephenson 3 years, $27 million
Jodie Meeks 3 years, $19 million
Trevor Ariza 4 years, $32 million
Lou Williams 3 years, $21 million
Rodney Stuckey 3 years, $21 million
Corey Brewer 3 years, $24 million
Marco Belinelli 3 years, $19 million
