They would be post two max cats.

Why do the Nets want to get rid of Russell so badly.

I seriously hope it brings bad juju to them.

They signed KD and Kyrie yesterday, didn't you know

Hill has fallen off but he's still a plug and play PG that would fine if they actually have a shot at Kawhi and KD. Signing Tier 1 guys I think is somewhat dependent on bringing in a real PG.

[HEZI]

Wah. The lotto pick was what it was. It's an already burned asset. I'm talking about the cost in $ for cap management.

And we don't know what the facts are about the KP situation. I, for one, am glad they didn't commit max dollars to a guy who has played more like a 2nd option, ultimately.

And this ties into rising "star" players and 2nd contracts. A team holding the guy has to decide if he's worth holding onto for the 4 or 5 years - I guess 5 since he's their asset, or, if he's worth holding at that price and if it fits the timeline of the rebuild and their flexibility to do it.

What are you crying about anyway? You inferred KP wasn't the kind of guy to max out anyway, or that it would be a bad look if I advocated it in the past.

Also, the Knicks didn't "tank all year" to get Frank. They just sucked, but not enough and picked 7th or 8th or whatever it was. For f*cks sake they didn't even specifically "tank all year" to get Knox - they just weren't any good after KP got hurt. If anything, they didn't tank HARD ENOUGH, and wound up with Knox. Oh well. Again, at least he's cost controlled and cheap. Last season they absolutely "Tanked all year" and got RJ. At least get it right.

It isn't wrong to be looking into a quality young PG, because Frank is likely a backup, and DSJr is going to have a 14 million $ cap hit in a couple of years, so there is something to trying to pivot to a guy like DLo.

I'm not sold on 1 year of top production being worth 4 years of the maximum number of dollars a player in his tranche/cohort...whatever the term would be. That's all. Not saying he sucks. Not saying the Knicks guards are better.

All I just read was you still caping for a "burned asset"

Stay trying to shove Frank Ntilikina down everybody's throat. Son is trash, deal with it

Where you brought him up? He wasn't even in the discussion until you brought him up.

The point around DLo had nothing to with Frank and has nothing to do with him. And then you brought him up, and brought up KP and then make up "I'm trying to shove him down your throat".

It's about $. And risk. That's it. Actually, my assumption is DSJr is the starting PG. Oh, sorry for "shoving DSJr down your throat". I mean, after 3totheheadMelo was done.

It got nothing to do with DLo, you're just so keen on this dude being part of the rotation that you shyt on every replacement then come back later on talking about how Frank needs to be in the rotation. That's your pattern, take a crap on every potential guard we would bring in but then make sure you tell us how Frank needs to be in the rotation no matter what team we have, tanking or contending. I don't care about his salary, you still bringing that up. He costs 5 mil, that aint cheap for his production or lack thereof. He's getting paid 5 mil so we can teach him how to shoot? How to have confidence? How to play basketball? We are paying him so we can teach him all that? That's cheap? Who is that cheap for?

Ellington get them 3’s up period. He not a overall fg% type.

George Hill nice vet who can hit an open jumper. Perry got him paid so I get it.

please do that nets

kyrie and wiggins as your main core

@ Bondy. He's turned into such a hack.

[Knicksrule2k4]

If they get two max free agents, Hill and Ellington would be good complimentary pieces.

[Billy Goat]

Wait Darren Collison retired????

[DowNY]

Ellington was here before right? I swear he had a short stint here.

[DowNY]

Wait Darren Collison retired????

Yeah, announced last night

[Guano]

So we either getting KD and KL or George Hill and Wayne Ellington... damn

[Knicksrule2k4]

Ellington was here before right? I swear he had a short stint here.

He was traded here and released right away but I can’t remember what trade it was

[Billy Goat]

Wait Darren Collison retired????

Yeah, announced last night

that is bizarre. Would prefer him over George Hill

[F N 11]

That rumor is a sign that we may know some chit. Those are two perfect veterans for both this young team and a team ready to win now.

[Jeff Van Gully]

If I was looking for a challenge I would choose NY. They can literally be kings. We’ll see

Imagine that Kawhi jersey hanging next to the Sprewell #8.

This! Am I tripping?

[knickstape21]

Russell has to be so disrespected by the Nets right now. How come this isn’t a story? You know the media would be up our *** if we were pulling that on a player.
