Isn't it basically the most amount of years? He may not even want a 4+1, and if he doesn't, I'm not sure if there's much difference at all if any.

The Pelicans can give him a 35% supermax, everybody else can give him 30%. The Pelicans can give him the most money.
It is different, because he can still get the 5 years with his traded to team. With that said, the ability to sign a DPE allows him to get it a year earlier and lock in 5 additional years right now.
The years and raises makes it different than Kyrie's situation, but the Pelicans can still give him a better deal and more money than anybody else.

Davis is under contract. If hes traded, that team can offer him what the pelicans can right now.
It's why he wanted so badly to be traded to la. He gets where he wants to without leaving money on the table to do it.

That simply isn't true
Getting traded maintains bird rights and the ability to offer 5 years with 8% raises. It does not maintain the ability to give him the supermax as a free agent or a supermax extension this offseason.
Getting traded is much more beneficial than joining another team as a free agent where he could only get 4 years with 5% raises starting at 30%. It does not give him the ability to get the 35% that he can get from the Pelicans under the designated player supermax rules. You have to be with your original drafted team or be on the team that you were traded to during your rookie contract. If you are traded after getting to your 2nd contract, the 35% is out the window (unless you are a 10 year vet). If he leaves the Pelicans, the starting salary is the same for every other team, traded to or not.
It is around a 30 million dollar difference over 5 years between the Pelicans and the team he gets traded to.

You're asking him to commit to a team he doesnt even wanna play for so regardless, play the year out, get your 5 years on your new team that you're traded to or take the 4 years from a team he rather be at.
You're saying he can sign for 5 years right now, essentially making it a 6 year deal, well what's 30 million dollars to someone who's gonna make over 500 mil anyway?
Its alot of money, no ones asking him to take a pay cut and serve burgers at DQ

No argument
The 1st quote was from somebody saying us being able to offer Kyrie the most money mattered. It followed with somebody saying that Davis could get the most from the Pelicans yet still wants out. That was followed by Davis can get the same from his new team, which would seem to nullify the previous point. He can't though, that is all I was saying. He is going to accept less to go somewhere else.
Is the 30 million significant? Probably not if you are unhappy with a ton of money. I would say the same applies to Kyrie. He has already made a lot of money. He is going to make a lot of money with his new deal. He is in movies. His shoes are among the most popular in the NBA and I'm sure he is making quite a bit or will make quite a bit on his next shoe deal. He has pretty big brand. Going to the New York market probably enhances that. Does 1 year/50 million more mean everything to Kyrie if he will already have secured 235 million (with a 4 year deal). It's likely he will recoup a significant amount of that 50 million anyway (he will only be 31 or even 30 if he takes a 3+1 deal). The money is important, but I doubt it is everything with Kyrie.

It's a very solid 10 seed team, maybe they'll get lucky in the lottery next year and end up with Wiseman.

awful take. They already had young developing players at 4 out of 5 positions:
PG: DSJ, Ntilikina
SG: Barrett
SF: Knox
C: Mitchell Robinson
they just added 24 y/o PF/C Randle: 21-8-3 34% from three and 23 y/o PF Portis 14-9 39% from three. And they did it by signing them to responsible contracts.
Do people not realize young players take time to develop and gel? No, they don't. Because these geniuses are laughably writing off 19 y/o Knox as we speak. You know, the guy who shot 34% from three and is met with scorn? Meanwhile wOndErBoy Doncic shot 32% from three, was top 10 in turnovers and easily one of the worst wing defenders in the league and he's "generational".
Knicks are finally doing things right and casuals are lambasting them for it.

I'm really high on their young players, especially Robinson, but they didn't come into FA with the idea of shelling out 110 million to three flawed power forwards.

Exactly. I love Randle and I wish we had him. But they had much bigger dreams...no way they would escape being mocked after they were expected to have a Davis, Kyrie and Durant big 3.
In the long run I'm still expecting their situation to work out better than Brooklyn's. They will get top 5 picks the next two years and will have a lot of solid assets on the team.
