OG to re-sign 5 years $212mil

[aggo]

One thing I am very happy about which Leon Rose has brought to the team is:


You don’t bid against yourself.


Now, we probably did to go get Mikal

But this idea that you just offer contracts and extensions to guys is what gets teams into trouble. I think a lot of front offices in our position would’ve given OG the 5/240 the moment we traded for him because that is what is “expected” and “normal” in the NBA management circle.

And we used similar sound business tactics when dealing for Donovan Mitchell. We set our line in the sand and that was our max offer and we didn’t budge.

Leon and co have made some mistakes. Like going all-in on JAG- offseason of Burks, Fournier, and Rose. Or the decisions that forced us to trade away our FRP to sign Brunson to a FA contract.

But overall you can feel the absolute professionalism that has finally arrived.


We’re all-in. And Leon did the right decision knowing that whether it’s Randle and/or Brunson extensions, we are gonna be in cap hell soon anyway, so its time to go allin and trade the picks.

KNICKS POLL

I would rather:
1. Maintain a ton of picks and a whole lot of cap space
2. Go all out and try to win it all with a team that has a good shot.

Please choose one of the above, and be prepared to defend your choice.

2. Easily.

If you have the chance to have a seat at the table of title contention, you say yes to the invitation. You never know know what could happen if your number is called.

HALF the player?

More like mans shows up half the time. And Tobias Harris showing up half the time is being generous. Disappears when the playoffs roll around.

He tipped me $20 when I use to do security on the side, he’s cool in my book forever lmao. But seriously, if guys getting over 200 with ease you give it to OG based on impact. Somebody is going to be a casualty.

Without Randle, I don’t see Knicks have anybody that put fear in teams outside Brunson. This is why I’m leaning towards keeping Randle for now.

OG, Bridges and Brunson on the floor at the same time ain't corn pudding. The "we need a # 2" talk is reductive and basically useless. With our starters and our bench we'll always have 2 or 3 guys on the floor who can score 20+ any night.

Deuce with the Birdman handrub.

And Cam Thomas with the Birdman handrub.

[Luv those Knicks]

no money left for an ihart comeback, isnt it?
time to get some big guys on a cheap contract then

I'm open to being corrected, but I think they still have the MLE, and Precious played some center serviceably last season. Are they keeping Precious?


The NBA cap has me all confused. I'm just going to wait & see.

Who would have ever thought!?!

The beauty of getting Randle and Brunson on really good deals

Yes. I think trading RJ and Quick - and I liked both players, but trading them was so smart in hindsight.

RJ - 25.8 going into next season
Quick - free agent, not sure what he gets, but if we'd kept him, he probably asks for over 20.

OG for 36.6 next year
Bridges 23.3 next year

That was some smart use of trades rather than just keeping the players on the roster. You're so right.

Chit or get on the bus
Hop on or get off the pot
Oh crap, I'm confused

Love what weve done over the past 24 hours. We are not playing, you could tell our FO had a plan and executed it the first moments they could. With that said, I hope we can find room to keep Iheart.

I have a feeling some sneaky trade is going to happen.

[thebuzzardman]

OG officially way overpaid now.

He better start playing at least 70 games a year or....or....I'll start complaining on here. More than usual!

[F N 11]

This the last imma say in this. Can’t be mad when Philly and Thunder etc had a bag waiting on OG. Good deal!!

Idc we have a deep team to keep him healthy.

Also if I recall correctly:

RJ didn’t get the full max on his extension. Another shrewd move.

And as much as us nerds love IQ because of how great he was on the stats and analytics side, the truth was that the rest of the league didn’t value him as much as the stats nerds did.

And at the time a lot of people (including myself) were dead wrong on thinking that we chose wrong between Josh hart and IQ. Leon knew that he still had a window to trade IQ and get something back. And that with Brunson, we could never pay him 20m/yr because his only position could be as a backup.

Damn that's a ton of money

He took his money and the money for iShart too. Very selfish

Hart is more important to us than IQ would ever be

It had to be done Buzz. We couldnt let him walk. And with Bridges as a safety net, were Golden.
