Tim is not his pet project. Mills was against trading Tim in the first place so he rectified Phil's mistake.



What mistake?


Trading him for Jerian Grant.

That wasn't a mistake and he made it even worse by throwing an absurd amount of money to get a middling shooting guard back.

Funny joke but Philly is in win now mode and I don't think they are going to take him if he's sitting out next season

The semantical issues regarding tanking are extentive. Imo controlling ones own destiny regarding acquring talent ex.the draft , is the surest way to assure the FO can build the team they want.


Pretty impressed with yourself, eh? What a load of crap...lol


I admit tanking is a practical route for the knicks situation.
Revisionist history suggest almost every year you didn't win a 'ship you should have tanked.
The FA game is nice but there's supply and demand and freewill.

I guess you dont understand how cap inflation works? You want the Knicks spending 90s money when its 2018. What they gave Tim was middle of the road money for the new market.

Knicks News: Enes Kanter Seeks Long-Term Contract to 'Feel More Secure'

JUNE 19, 2018

MIAMI, FL - MARCH 21: Enes Kanter #00 of the New York Knicks handles the ball during the game against the Miami Heat on March 21, 2018 at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter can earn $18.6 million by exercising his player option for the 2018-19 season, but he told ESPN.com's Ian Begley that he's angling for long-term security with the start of free agency less than two weeks away.

"Obviously, I want to be here. It's just that I would feel better and feel more secure and feel more comfortable if I signed [a contract for] multiple, two or three whatever, years," Kanter told Begley on Saturday. "Think about it. Next year, if you get hurt, then what? I know you can't worry about it, but it's always in the back of your head like, 'Man, if I get hurt, what's going to happen?'"

Kanter hasn't revealed a decision—he has until June 29 to do so—but he has hinted that he'd like to opt out and re-sign with the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent.

"I didn't make any decisions in or out," Kanter told reporters in April. "When I say I want to make New York my home, there's no lie. I want to stay here long-term.

"I don't want to stay here one year and make a decision later. I want to stay here for long term. That's the decision with my agent. I told everybody I want to retire as a Knick. I understand it's a business, but I told everybody I want to make New York my home."

The Oklahoma City Thunder traded Kanter to the Knicks last September. He averaged 14.1 points and 11.0 rebounds while shooting 59.2 percent from the field across 71 starts in his first year in the Big Apple.

That writer seems to have a very high opinion on the value of Courtney Lee Image

Doubtful we can get a late first for Lee

Id consider it a win if we could move him without taking any money back and pick up a second rounder Image

Mpj is my fav target for Chicago but if he redshirts his 1st season , its a regrettable easy pass because 2 years removed from playing basketball due to Injury is over excessive

Why do you think so? Lee was having a career year this season and showed he has more to his game. A playoff team looking for veteran help would much rather have Lee than a late 1st riding the bench I would think.

I like the Jazz trade the most out of all the late first trades. I wouldn't mind taking on Alec Burks as reclaim project plus getting their first.
