I'm noticing a coincidence, Mills big moves are tied to the hiring of new personnel. So while he doesn't come out and say said moves are the idea of the incoming guys, the implication is there. Very sneaky, Mr. Mills.

I'm happy too. That's a 15 win team. Say hello to top 3 lottery. Thank you, Jesus.

We all know Rondo is not coming here and taking that mid level exception because it's an insult to him, right?

The Pelicans are the front runners.

Until Mills gives him that players option

I can't see that happening. If the Knicks were gun shy about giving Griffin control d/t Phil and Rondo has a rap sheet of being a melacontent, plus we haven't had a player choke a coach in a long time....would they give the Melo clause to Rondo?

Haha...oh the memories!

Jerome "fu#king" James. Isiah based that contract over ONE playoff series when James held Duncan to "human numbers."

Jeffries for all his faults, played better D than the entire team he was on and was a great teammate.

This is all about pride. Someone looks at Plankton Galloway getting all that loot, FAs are going to ask for 3 times that per season.

you mean the MLE we gave Ron Baker? Lmao

[vincccent]

The Knicks will let Melo opt out of his contract, give him a 5 year super max deal and another NTC.

There is a second MLE but the Knicks can't have any cap space (mission accomplished).

Nah, that's a treadmill team. KP not chasing bigs around the perimeter anymore. Melo able to use quickness and stretch the floor. Rose leaving is addition by subtraction. No triangle around to confuse our players. Lee is solid and will benefit from passes. We still have enough weaknesses that we'll lose a fair amount, but we gotta work hard to tank in this conference.

[KnicksGadfly]

Also, if we don't trade Melo, we should just send him home to sit.

[FKF]

You guys are all being played.

They are going to twist this and announce Melo staying is a better deal than Melo getting traded for the garbage they were legitimately offered.

D'Antoni doesn't want Melo. LeBron no longer runs the Cavs. Dolan doesn't want Melo to be bought-out.

Melo is staying, enjoy just another 30-52 season of isolation offense.

Not sure about that, but they are going to raise him a banner like he was Patrick F'ing Ewing. Smh

Cant use that only 1 exemption at a time. So we cant make an offer.
