Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
So I was chatting with a Knick Scout today and told him I really like Middleton and hope we go after him since Butler and green are restricted .
He tells me they really wanted him the year he was drafted brand tried to move up to get him.
Maybe there is hope

Thank you for the post, great story. Hope we can make a decent attempt to snatch him from the Bucks. He is a good fit for the triangle as he can shoot the lights out, a good rebounder, passes well and can post up smaller SG's. Plus he is a solid defender and is mostly assigned to guard the scoring wings of opposing teams. He would be the perfect SF if we slot in Melo as the 4 as he can consistently punish opposing teams who decide to switch their PF on him in order to put their best wing defender on Melo.

Re: Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
Green and Middleton are two of my favorite targets with Wes going down to injury...unfortunately, I don't think they're going anywhere no matter how much we offer (not sure if we could use poison pill provisions or something to try but even then it's not a guarantee and that contract is crappy).

I hate this restricted crap, if we drafted Okafor, then Green and Butler or Middleton would be perfect. We would make the playoffs for sure depending on injuries.

I think we need to offer Middleton 10 mil per year over four years and force the Bucks hand. Also, add poison pills in contract such as 15% trade kicker etc. Mae it tough for Milwaukee to match. I really like Middleton as our future SG.

Agreed or even better force teams to pay up if they want to keep them

Re: Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
If Im Phil im doing what ever is possible to trade Calderon and Timmy to get this guy and a Max player... Middleton is only going to get better.. im going as high as 12 mil maybe more... once we can afford a Max player also.

Re: Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
you might have to max him or close believe it or not. what you guys think you're gonna pay is never realistic. you're not gonna get him for 10. they'll just match that. they got rid of knight partially so they could keep this guy. so you have to really overpay. not saying do it. but that's the reality of free agency.

10 or 12 million is nothing. MIddleton is getting 15 million at least, or near max. You watch

Re: Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
bucks basically came out last week and said they will match anything for him.
though, we said something very similar about jeremy lin. i think the bucks mean it though. they'd be silly to let him walk. he's a franchise cornerstone type of player. between him, antetokounmpo, and jabari they'll be set at three positions. unleash henson at the 5 doing dirtywork. and the only search is for a PG, which they may be able to draft and mold in kidd's image.
bucks are gonna be good for a minute. and i know their ownership.

You are right 10 mil is not going to get it done... but I don't think the Bucks have the budget to give him 12-16 million per.. that's one of the reason they traded Knight they knew he is going to get close to Max if not Max and can't afford it.. but anyhow the kid is special and he has a high ceiling.
He(though I think he will actually be better once he stay healthy) and this situation reminds my of when Allan Houston was restricted in Detroit... and we signed him.

bucks will match anything, but still worth a max offer aka a parsons type contract

Re: Knick Scout says we wanted to draft Middleton
i'm not saying he's bad, but i guess i just don't see it, why he's worth the max. i guess my visions of a max player are much different than everyone else's. i just don't get it, i guess.

Yup, their starting lineup is set:
G: Michael Carter Williams
G: Khris Middleton
F: Giannis Antetokounmpo
F: Jabari Parker
C: John Henson
They need decent veterans off the bench and that's it.
