Bismack would be a nice get but 15-18 is too much imo. I'd love to give Kosta Koufos a look if his price tag doesn't get blown up. If my theory that Phil is going win-now heavy is on point, I'd much rather get Koufos and Bazemore or Crabbe than something like maxing out Batum. Horford might make sense as a high priced FA I suppose.

I want both Crabbe and Bazemore... Rose surrounded by 4 shooters... In a pace and space offense? :ohlawd:

Don't forget we still have Hernangomez coming too brehs... Might not need a big in FA...

Nikka we won 32 games with calderon. Rose is easily an upgrade and we still got bread to sign a big. I want Bismarck biyombo. At least put major presure on the craptors.
Rose helps the Knicks get to the lottery more than the playoffs though lol. People are kidding themselves a bit if they think he's going to regain 2011 form. Losing Lopez isnt a big deal in the big picture, but he was arguably the teams best player last year. Barring Porzingis turning into a star next year or a Durant signing...the Knicks will be flirting with the lottery.

I was just thinking this. If he's the big Phil has his eye on, then we're good money and not gonna BMF this offseason.

Calderon sucked, but was way more of a scapegoat for other glaring issues than people would like to admit.

LMAO
wtf
whats going on with this overating of lopez all of a sudden?
he played good for the second half the season
a season in which we won 30 games
first half of the seasonhe ranged from avg to horrible
he averaged 10 points and 7 rebs a game lol most of his really good games occurred when we were out of playoff contention
he did not have a better season than melo or zingis.
he isn't a allstar level talent, and he is a center.. which is porzingis's future position
we have a habit of holding out to guys longer than we should until they have no value
2 years ago tim hardway was "untouchable"
couple years before that, shump was "untouchable"
lopez is what he is, rather clear cap and have a chance at real superstars next year than to hold up to him when hes not a game changing/franchise changing player

noah can do everything he can do (if healthy) at a cheaper price
plus we got zingis' homeboy coming over.
lopez is not a exception talent and is not worth not having max cap space in 2017 and 2018
we good

Im not overrating Lopez at all. He was overpaid, but yes he was better than both Melo and Porzingis last year. I have no problem with the Knicks dumping his salary. Reality is the roster stinks and Carmelo isnt very good. I dont know how many more losing teams he has to take the most shots for when folks will finally realize it.

Who is available that can easily switch between the 2/3 and play with a chip on his shoulder? I have a feeling Phil wants the luxury of a 2, but dependable wing man to save melo down the stretch.
bazemore? maybe derozan will look into the knicks now. honestly knicks putting a squad together just gotta hope they mesh well enough. KP got rose n melo to play off of now
