What undrafted rookies do you want the knicks to extend a summer league invite too?

My List:
6'11 - Mam Jaiteh (not sure if we have too sign him? International FA rule?)
6'11 - Christian Wood
6'2 - Quinn Cook (Larkin replacement?)
6'8 - Seth Tuttle
6'6 - Aaron Harrison

Isn't it pretty obvious at this point the Knicks are going after a front court of West & Monroe and then try to get Carroll if they can make the $ work?

Please trade Calderon... defense wins games

Can forget about Quinn Cook... Looks like he'll be joining OKC. I was hoping we'd offer him an invite as well.

I hate how this morning is like christmas morning to every other team out there..

Theyre opening their new nicely tied red bow and white box of russell, okafor, and towns, winslow at 10, mudaiy at 7, etc

and we are here getting grandma's sweater in Prozingis.. (and I like zinger just not sure man..)

I just wish for once we could get the real thing.. just for once..

I didn't realize David West was from teaneck, nj???

hometown kid, probably grew up a knicks fan? Little home team discount to play for his favorite team?

West made up his mind Tuesday, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. With the tread of 12 seasons in the league on his body, West will not command the same salary that would've been waiting for him next season with the Pacers. The choice appears to be more about finding a new fit. West did not want to simply "stay for the money," a source revealed.

im getting giddy

Here we go:

Love leaves Cleveland to go west to LAL.
Lebron gets pissed and threatens not to re-sign
Knicks fans go ape **** for the 6th consecutive offseason
Lebron re-signs with Cleveland
Knicks fans hate him again

Now that you guys have traded for Grant what do you think of trading Calderon for Marvin Williams? Marvin expires this year, so you'd shave another 7 million off your cap for next offseason.

NYK: Derrick Favors, Trey Lyles and 2017 Golden State 1st rd pick
UTA: Kris Porzingis

But they start 3 great defensive players in Ibaka, Wetsbrook and Roberson

But Monroe, Poor Zingah, and Melo is the worst defensive frront court in the NBA, and Caleron is one of the starting guards.

If Phil Jackson were smart he'd trade the 2015 number 4 pick for the 2008 number 6 pick.

Knicks need to lay out the red carpet for Aldridge. No trade clause, players options, whatever he wants.

If Marvin's really an expiring contract, I'd do that straight up trade

Every team with enough cap-space can offer that...and will. IMO Phil needs to sell the "vision" to a player of LMA's status.

Yep, he expires at the end of this season. If we can't work out a deal to get someone like Collison if the Kings are getting Lawson I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this happen.

Now I hope you guys don't get Collison :lol:

Sign him and 1 other guy he wants to play with. If that's Matthews then so be it.

Lamarcus is my second favorite player after Melo, but I think Marc is much better fit for defense and passing. If we can't get Marc, then we should go for LMA since he is mad talented. Don't want West, not really high on Monroe.

I don't know how but we should definitely find a young team that needs shooting and playmaking in pg position and ship calderon. We can do better with 7m cap space than having him on the roster.

As far as bench I think we should keep Aldrich, Bargs, Shved, Larkin for as cheap as possible.
