Apparently they need bodies who can simply log minutes. Their starters' minutes make Thibs blush.

word was they were looking for a center. i guess noel just about qualifies.

Watch the Knicks actually make a great deal but Noel fails his physical so bad when the xrays show he has a break in every bone and it gets revoked

after every couple games his knee is sore and he's out so it wouldn't surprise me if he has surgery in his future

[Deeeez Knicks]

Maybe he will retire even?

seems like wishful thinking

Yeah he will just ask for a buyout and collect that 8 MM for doing nothing

We will finally be done with the Noah amnesty so time for another amnesty maybe even so we can sign some more bad contracts

[Fat]

i think the nets would be fools not to make the harden trade even with all they gave up. the team that pays harden his next deal is about to be the real loser.

So Knicks then?

[snadler]

I understand theres no point in keeping Noel and Burks around but attaching assets to get rid of them is not a good move. We arent making any moves in free agency this offseason so its better off keeping them on the books for another year and look to trade their expiring contracts at some point next season. We should be using assets to unload Fournier and/or Randle, those are the real problem contracts

So you prefer they let Mitch walk?

Paul Mooney says it best....

James Harden....


DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adelheid]

they are paying the price of a frp to get rid of some vets salary so they can sign someone next offseason

they could have averted this disaster if they didnt blew the entire unused cap. But stuff like these are what clueless orgs do.

[god shammgod]

mpharris wins!

you might have. unless he's pulling a fast one on them and playing like sh*t to get out of there. it's so hard to tell.

you can't trust him anymore. How can you force your way to a team and have them give up everything...to play less then a year there and ask out again...dude is a nutjob

i kind of don't blame him though. the team he plays with since kd went out is pathetic. kyrie plays only a couple times a month. he went there to win a title and they are nowhere close. philly offers the better chance.

Nets repeating history. Feels like the KG pierce giving up the farm. How long will Harden play in Philly 2 years?

Holy smokes. Imagine if they don't pull a Simmons trade and he walks?

[seren]

I don’t understand why Toronto or any other team would want THT. If Toronto needs a center (not watching them so no idea), Noel plus Burks for Dragic would make sense. No picks no nothing.

that's true. maybe they'll just stretch his money. what's the longest strech you can do ? 5 years ? it'll be nothing then.

sham my man you really did a number on that nets franchise I don’t see how they recover

Theres a good chance he walks anyway with the reports out that Detroit is gonna throw him the bag. He also might want to get far away from this disaster franchise. This team is gonna be bad for a while and throwing assets away unnecessarily is a bad move

Pretty much. It's like Leon Rose is figuring things out and learning his job as he goes.

[Synciere]

Mo Bamba rumors mean Leon probably called Mitch about a contract extension and Mitch did his goofy laugh and hung up on him. Mitch is leaving and Leon knows it. Mitch knows Detroit is about to pay him. Personally I don’t blame him if he leaves. He’s been very under-appreciated here by the FO and the fan base.

If Mitch is leaving and they know they won’t resign him they may as well attach him to Fournier and see if that works.

I dont want to attach a guy who casually dropped a 21 rebound 19 pint statline in his last game and did something similar with 8 blocks before that....all without a PG on this team. Sign that man.

I'm partial to signing him too, but it's hard to rebuild if you just keep signing everyone back. At some point we have to create some flexibility somewhere, and a rim running center is about as good a place to do that, I guess....

Oh yea, stretch is what i meant. It would be about $3mil/3 years for Kemba if they did it in the offseason.

He's a Trojan horse agent. Secretly invited to Nets Fandom to destroy them on the inside. That's why Harden is on his sig and not kyrie
