I think it's a fair deal :manny:

It's not like they overpaid for him. That's pretty much market value for a guy like him.

Omer Asik is getting $12 mil/yr, Pekovic is getting $12 mil/yr, Gortat is getting 12 mil/yr, Bogut is getting $12 mil/yr, Chandler got 13 mil/yr, Hibbert is getting like $16 mil/yr. And mind you, he's younger than all of those guys

I get that

Youve got 42 mil a year committed to

Melo/porzingis/grant/lopez

Cap is 89. Can you add enough talent with 47 mil to compete to get out the first round? You dont have your pick, so you cant add an impact guy for a 3-4 mil rookie salary.

It's possible, but they'll have to make some a lot of improvement this year if they want free agents to take them seriously.

I guess time will tell.

Maybe they'll waive Calderon and stretch his contract ala Josh Smith to get more cap room.

Knicks really putting in work.Yall should feel ok about how things have gone.


Yeah it's been good.

It's not perfect but considering what Phil has to work with I can't be too mad :yeshrug:


Grant
Afflalo
Melo
Porzingis
Lopez


Idk how they'd work in a triangle but depending on Kristaps this could be a huge improvement.

I like the Knicks offseason. No superstars will sign there since they suck, they don't have their pick this season so they had to get some quality contributors in order to make a playoff push. Afflalo and Lopez are exactly that. They'll try to compete this year for the the 8th seed and then go into the next FA period with max cap space and hopefully a better record to appease FA

Maybe you should comb through that 2016 free agent list again...

It's not what you think it is.
