So what's the play here. Knicks have nothing to offer Minny, unless it's Grant.

Dude would have to tell Minny he's never going to play for them to have any hope of getting him for almost nothing, right?

This doesn't sound like much of a real thing.

I would be happy with him for anywhere up to 3-4 mil. He did a lot of good things for the Mavs in the playoffs even though Harden beat their ass

Seriously? I doubt he even makes the team, tbh.

Well, at first Minny wasn't interested in keeping him, but since half-dozen playoff teams(incl. Spurs) asked about him last couple of days, momentum switched and now its likely to keep him.I am not sure either what could possibly Knicks offer for him, but he looks like nice fit for triangle.

Hybrid 3/4 kind perfect for the kind of players Phil seems to want to add.

Can he guard shooting guards? Does he have a high enough bball iq to play in the triangle?

Never seen him play, but he sounds a little like Toni Kukoc/Odom type as a big guy that can handle the rock, pass well, make plays and rebound. Not sure about his defense

apparently the Niets are trying to move Joe Johnson and his 24 mil expiring contract

I have to admit that Ive always liked Joe and despite his age he's still very effective

too much iso play for my taste but a guy like him might put us over the top once we add a true big man


Johnson, West and Monroe along with Gallo/jose/grant and Melo? not a bad starting unit

From Wiretap recently... Seriously, from all indications - this would be HUGE!


it would eat up cap space so I think the knicks are going to multiple player route instead of just 1 or 2 guys.

Aminu needs his own thread, it couldn't have went in the FA thread?

How you signing Monroe and West and THEN absorbing Johnson's $24m?
