We either sign this superstar through:

(1) maintaining cap space flexibility every year (i.e. only sign 1 year deals)

(2) sign players to fair or below market deals so they're tradeable assets

Going down path (1), eventually Randle, RJ and other "core" guys we might want to keep will become eligible for contract extensions and significant bumps, so we'll face maintaining cap space flexibility or being that team that only keeps rookie contracts.

Going down path (2), we'll remain competitive and as long as the contracts aren't stupid, we can send back good players to teams with disgruntled superstars that aren't looking to totally blow it up. Furthermore, any of our draft picks we send back would not be viewed as valuable as we presumably would be significantly more competitive after the trade.

I don't see option (1) as a sustainable strategy - not only is it impossible to build a team culture by signing mercenaries every offseason, but frankly, we just saw a bunch of cap strung teams free up space through trades and we lost a bunch of competitiveness through our cap space quite quickly.

Therefore, option (2) is really the only path that makes sense, even if the ultimate target is a superstar.

How long do we keep kicking the can down the road though? At what point do the super agents Leon and WWW work there magic. We had a successful year and still no one wants to come?

The direction they chose is to get better fast and convince a big time player to come here via trade/fa. If they don't get a big player I do consider that a failure.

The chose to not find the future star via the draft. The ship has sailed since they plan on winning as many games as possible. So the clock is ticking and every year you wait the value contracts like Randle/RJ ect wont be value when you have to pay them.

There are no star players under 36 years in the Free Agency.

Wasn't part of there plan to convince a star to come via trade? Isn't that WWW job?

That’s where they might throw a bag at Fournier

he asked the celtics for 80 for 4

Yea I don’t want to pay that either but if the Knicks give up on future free agency then they will probably sign guys like Fournier to big deals. That’s pretty much the alternative

Where there is smoke there is fire. Fournier probably 1 year 20 million or some chit 2nd gear team option, the Perry way. Fml…

knicks are overpaying somebody this summer. The only choice is which signee getting overpaid would piss you off the most

Fire Perry

NoDopeOnSundays · Post #1231 » by **NoDopeOnSundays** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 2:19 am

$20 million for Fournier :lol:

His career playoff stats are abysmal too, 37% from the field and 30% from three, he'll fit right in.

Guys, I forgot. Norman Powell….

god shammgod · Post #1233 » by **god shammgod** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 2:22 am

it's what you all deserve to be honest. i hope the other signing is kelly oubre.

Oscirus · Post #1234 » by **Oscirus** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 2:23 am

fornier 3-60 or trent jr 3-50 go!

WargamesX · Post #1235 » by **WargamesX** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 2:24 am

I am ready for a Nunn/Fournier FA. I just pray it’s not long term deals for both of them. Also Melo would be a pretty good get as a big wing who can come and score off the bench.

ADeP7 · Post #1236 » by **ADeP7** » Mon Aug 2, 2021 2:26 am

I’d gladly pay Trent 3 for 50 over Fournier 3 for 40

Fournier would be an upgrade over Burks yall bugging

Ofc he will ask more from Celtics since he would prefer to play in New York, prolly be down for a 2-3 year deal
