Mike don't want to be fined so he won't talk about it.

hopefully were tanking a few more years, but in those few years you still need to remain flexible to target and sign players 25 and younger, to tradable contracts, that will become assets. gather more pics. teams have been in the lottery decades without finding their rosters, you have to increase your chances.

the timmy signing immediately became a hindrance rather then an assett. its another untradable contract given by the NYK's. and it shows Mills has no respect for the rebuild. dont expect a lot with this trade, or anything else moving forward.

Reggie is worst and it can't be debated. HE controls the ball and who gets it. Ryan just spots up and shoot and he's pretty good at it.

Would the Knicks really want Melo back in camp if the deal collapsed, I don't think they would. Too much of a distraction.


Melo can request a cheap buyout of his present deal with the Knicks and then go anywhere he wants. So long as he opts out of the final year of his contract (he has a player option for 18-19, I believe), I think it's doable.


That could work I suppose.

Kristaps is leaving anyway. Whether it's December or 2019, he will ask to be traded.

Around the draft they were looking to shed some Salary, doing this gives them a Stretch 4 to put next to Nurkic as well as shedding about 8-9 million in salary

Ryan doesn't actively **** things up. He's just a bit overpaid. Ok. A lot overpaid.

I would wager my life that Melo wouldn't accept one penny less than what he's owed :D
