Who cares? They are allowed to have like up to 18 players in camp.

What are you getting at? Signing a bunch of minimum players to unguaranteed deals has nothing to do with Jeremy Lin

They're not signing people for the minimum. Kidd and Camby alone are making a combined 22 mill over 3 years, and now they're looking to continue adding salary. And Rasheed Wallace of all people.

Oh really? :) And what makes James Dolan's team a first-rate organization?

So they are getting multiple players for less than it would have cost to keep Lin? Sounds frugal to me.

Yes, let's pay a guy for what he did 10 years ago and not for his current production. You sure you didn't study at the Isiah Thomas School of Management?

Kidd averaged 11, 6 and 6 five months ago. Playing starter minutes against arguably the fastest PG in the league. Not a very intelligent response.

Nope. They're multi-year guaranteed deals for guys who barely have a year of usability left. Try not to base your beliefs on things you make-up out of the blue.

I'm not. You're jumping around with your argument now. Here is what you said:

We got 2, potentially 3, players for what we would have had to pay Lin. That is frugality if I've ever seen it.

You have some illogical point that you're trying to make, about how Kidd, Camby, and Sheed are related to Lin, but you're wrong.

No matter how you slice it, we are getting those guys for the same price as Lin's deal, and that is very frugal.

Its not frugality its paying for mediocrity. Calling the Knicks frugal lol. Wait till JR gets a massive deal next summer. We could have had most of those guys AND Lin. At the very least we could have tried to keep him for a year and then attempted to get assets in return. We will have one of the worst backcourts in the NBA for a long time(three years) since we have no room left against a cap...we are already paying taxes dude. We have a terrible front office and Dolan has the Worst record of any NBA owner since taking over. Please regale us with more tales of the frugal Knicks.

I didn't call the Knicks frugal first. He did.

All I was doing that pointing out giving Rasheed Wallace a minimum contract doesn't make the Knicks not frugal.

I don't think Jeremy Lin was let go over frugality. I think we never intended to keep him in the first place, and his huge PP contract made the decision easier.

You said they were signing minimum players to unguaranteed deals. This is completely false, then when called out on it you then shifted your argument.

I was talking about Smith, Copeland, Shurna and possibly Sheed.

You shifted the argument to Kidd and Camby, to which I replied, that even if you want to count them, they still cost less than Lin by himself.

Don't pretend you're talking about people other than the guys the Knicks signed in this same offseason. That's ridiculous. Your arguments are horrible.
