The Official What Would You Do This Off-Season Thread

[Jmonty580]

I still want Meeks from Philly. Id still consider trading a combo of Fields and TD for him. maybe one of them and our 2nd round pick? Not sure philly would be interested.

Re-sign Lin, Fields and Jeffries
Draft Machado (or Gates)
Sign Matt Barnes and Derek Fisher

PG: Lin/Fisher/Machado
SG: Fields/Smith
SF: Melo/Barnes
PF: Amar'e/Harrellson
C: Chandler/Jeffries/Jordan

[xclearscreen]

out with Melo and all the pieces will fall into place. no need to sign anybody

[shmeakone]

I'm assuming the bird rights hearing lets us resign Lin & Novak & still have MLE (dream/orgasmic scenario)

- Draft Kyle O'Quinn with the 48th pick
- Resign Lin 5 years 30 mil
- Resign Novak 2 years 7 mil
- Sign Nash to 3 years 20 mil
- Let Fields go
- JR opts in
- Sign Dahntay Jones to vet min (Will come because he's good friends with JR & Melo)

PG: Nash/ Lin/ Douglas
SG: Shumpert/ JR
SF: Anthony/ Jones
PF: Stoudemire/ Novak/ Jorts
C: Chandler/ O'Quinn/Jordan

[Dr. Detfink]

People with this re-signing nonsense. The Knicks are STRAPPED due to those 3 murderous contracts. You can do that in Miami where they have 3 players who are still in their prime but here, we have one player who can't get insured.

You're leaving garnett and allen out

[AggO]

trade amare to boston

If bird rights are given, resign everyone. JR opts out but resigns for a salary starting at 3 million. Use tax payer's MLE on a backup PG.

If no bird rights are given: Move TD+3 million for cap space. Keep Fields with MLE. Keep Fields. Keep JR. Use LLE on a backup PG.

We don't have $3M to trade. We used that in the Turiaf deal.

I thought it could be used once a year. I may be wrong though.

Edit: Also I meant keep Lin with MLE. Keep Fields.

Does the new year start with the new FA period or after? I honestly don't know.

[LJ4pointplay]

You'd think with it, since we traded Turiaf during last years free agency, didn't we? Or did training camp start by then? What I do know is that it doesn't shift until after the draft.

[Esq-4]

I think we can trade $ after July 1. Problem is we can't use it during this draft. It is now more of a premium not to just be added to a trade.

I think smith crosses the east river to the nets.

If union wins:
Keep Lin novack and fields.
Use mle on Odom
Lle on Kidd
Sign a shooting guard, try Allen, then look around.
Draft Machado.
Move Douglas for anything.

If lose:
Take out Odom and novack above.

[LJ4pointplay]

Id throw the entire MLE at kid if the union won. Have him come off the bench behind Lin, but they could play together to close out games. Not many PGs I rather Lin learn under than Kidd. Of course, if we could get Nash, I'd go after him first. However, Kidd is more likely to be available for the MLE.
