Better yet Shaun Livingston would be a better target skill wise and cap wise.

Does the acquisition of Andre Barrett (a very similar player in terms of physical stature and skill set) to our D-League affiliate, along with the decision to decline Shane's option signify a trade coming with Shane's expiring contract?

More likely it means that the Westchester Knicks are light at point guard. They drafted 2 point guards in the NBDL expansion draft. One of them (Curtis Jerrels ) signed with an overseas team. Left only Stepfon Hannah to handle point duties. Barrett is an experienced veteran point and I'd imagine the Knicks feel they need a vet at the position with their D-League team to help facilitate their player development.

Klay just signed a huge deal and they signed Shaun Livingston plus have Harrison Barnes starting and Draymond Green.

We could. But you want to pay 11 mil for a guy to back up Melo?

2015 Free Agent looking pretty sad.

Surprised more people are not in mourning after the news regarding Rubio.He seemed like the only player that Knicks fans used to covet as much as they did Lebron.

knicks41820 · Post #309 » by **knicks41820** » Sat Nov 1, 2014 3:23 pm

Why don't we try and trade for gasol instead of waiting to see if we can get him...

Bargnani (expiring),hardaway and Larkin + 2018 1st round pick for gasol

We then have amare (expiring) plus shumpert early to trade for Kobe or just keep them and wait and see if we can get millsap

We the Triangle don't really need him....

NYKBaller · Post #311 » by **NYKBaller** » Sat Nov 1, 2014 3:50 pm

Larry sanders and ellysan illasova for amare
al horford for andrea bargnani and thj
david west and roy hibbert for amare/thj

Those are my three hypothetical prediction

Understandable but Barrett is very old... A fan of his since his HS days but at this point he is more of a euro/streetball player. Wish we had Jerrels he killed it in euro last year (that why he went back plus the money), he is still young. Wish we can reach out to a few other young players who just missed making their teams... That they can actually develop.. Like:
(If even possible to get)

Doron Lamb (22yrs)
James McAdoo (21yrs)
Jordan Hamilton (Actually had a good preseason, with
3yrs NBA experience 24yrs)
Lorenzo Brown (24yrs)
Chris Crawford (22yrs)
Peyton Siva (24yrs)
Aaron Craft (22yrs) Heady PG
Sean Kilpatrick (24yrs)
Khem Birch (22yrs)
Robert Covington (23yrs) Good Player at the 3/4
Jamaal Franklin (23yrs)
Micheal Eric (26yrs)
Kevin Jones (25yrs) Good low post scorer/Rebounder, local product
D.J Kennedy
Peyton Siva (24yrs)
Pierre Jackson (24yrs) Scorer, Defense, Speed
Malcolm Lee (24yrs)
Drew Gordon (24yrs) Had a good preseason, can shoot and pass
Marquis Teague (21yrs)
Darius Morris (23yrs)
Bryce Cotton (22yrs)
JaMychal Green (24yrs)
Fuquan Edwin (23yrs)
Will Cherry (23yrs)
Jack Cooley (23yrs)
Vander Blue (22yrs)

and others....

Pau Gasol trade happened in mid-season then... the year after LAL won the chip

Bargs, THJ and Larkin, 2M TPE for Gasol

Amare and 3M TPE for Kobe (the bad thing: Amare & Boozer would get them J.Okafor for sure)

Instant contender:

Gasol/Dally/Cole
Acy/J.Smith/Wear
Melo/JR Smith/Early
Kobe/Shump/T.Douglas (yes, I said it)

Jose/Prigs/Galloway

Also Free Agents: Ray Allen, Jordan Hamilton, Quincy Miller Greg Stiemsma, Micheal Beasley, Rip Hamilton, Andrew Buynum, Andrey Blatche, Jermaine O'neal, Emeka Okafor, Rashard Lewis, Dante Cunningham, Ronnie Brewer, Antawn Jamison, Roger Mason Jr, Mickael Pietrus, Stephen Jackson, Tyrus Thomas, Marcus Camby, Mike James, Jamaal Tinsley, Josh Howard, Ike Diogu... and Toney Douglas

they're good cheap pg's available this offseason. reggie jackson, brandon knight all better\cheaper than rubio

Memphis isn't trading Gasol. Memphis is not a free agent destination.

You would have to offer a package close to what Minny got.

Wrong. Those guys are restricted free agents. You have to over pay.

okc is legendarily cheap they're not going to match reggie jackson's offer if it's anything over 10mil.

when you look at his usage rate v production last year and what other guards are getting this year(kemba, rubio) he'll get around 11 and that might be a low estimate.
