We are the New York Knicks...it isn't just "in play"...its most likely "in the works".

3 years 54? Double down on the Noah deal

The knicks are going to try to bring back Justin Holiday and use him to talk to Jrue Holiday to come over this summer. I won't be shocked if their plan would be to get Jason Tatum in the draft and if Melo does decide to stay in New York...I can see this as a starting lineup...
Jrue Holiday
Courtney Lee
Jason Tatum
Melo
KP
If the Pels can bring back Cousins I don't see JRue walking. They're starting to click. I'd like to bring Justin back though. Absolutely.

At what price do you bring Justin back? Me, I wouldn't offer him more than a two year deal worth 6 per.

You do realize Rubio is going to cost us more than just absorbing his salary, right?

I'd be surprised if he got less than 3/24 tbh. And, about that.

I'm playing hardball - something Knick GMs rarely do. I have no interest giving up anything for a player who shoots as poorly as Rubio. I even have my considerations about getting stuck with his contract at all.

It bothers me that the knicks don't take the initiative to run tests on its players and just go off how the players feel.
It's not the first time we've had a player be in pain and we wait it out before getting the MRI done. Even give them a chance to go out and test how they feel first.
Why are we running the risk of letting possible damaged players diagnose themselves by trying to give it a go? It's something I just don't understand. If someone is complaining of pain in a joint, where there could be structural damage, why aren't we doing an mri as a precaution before letting them test it themselves on the court?

You're assuming they viewed him as a long term asset, which they may not have.
If not - if he wants to showcase himself... have at it.

But we should be worried about getting "stuck" with his 2yr-$28.9mil salary, as if we're signing someone better for cheaper in the offseason...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'd try not to give him that third year. With melo coming off the books in two, I'd want to free up as much space as possible in anticipation of bringing in a star.

This team would find a way to screw up a definitive win of a trade. That guy Rubio would of been great for KP and WHG. I hope somehow we still get him.

Lmao that brings back memories. The dorms at St. John's erupted with the cheers of salty Yankee fans and we were all in the hallway high fiving.

we should try to suck again and tank. this team needs talent in every way possible if we're serious about a rebuild.

Vet. Min.
5 million and telling him that his role is strictly 6th man with 20-25 mins per game. Depending on the situation of the end of the game, it is not guarantee he will end it.
