Rumors and Discussion Thread (NYK and NBA) V - Elfrid Payton Sucks

[DaGawd]

Knicks get
Terry
Batum

Hornets get
Julius Randle



Knicks do Charlotte a favor and take in Batum so they don’t have to stretch him and save 9 million .

The Batum scenario is dead.. they waived and stretched him

[thebuzzardman]

WTF happened to Allonzo Trier? Can't get a job now? Didn't think he was that bad

He's got that Knick stain on him

I'm taking up a seat at the front.

Tired of giving bad FO's a pass. Seen this movie before.

you guys are buggin. I hate the payton move, but come on...

I understand if they weren't jonesing to make a stupid move this past week (though there's still time) but not make some smaller moves for young players, to me, is a bad sign.

It’s a one year deal not really a death sentence moving foward they this front office has really done anything crazy...yet so I don’t think it fair to call for peoples jobs yet

[HarthorneWingo]

Signing these guys to offer sheets never works. If the Knicks really value Ingram, and I think he’s overrated likely, then give up assets and make a trade.

NOLA will match it. He's a great fit with that squad.

bottom-3 team w/ the Pistons and Thunder. that would guarantee us a top 7 pick

Not to keep receipts on this too but Batum like Rubio — def overrated for a long time on RealGM.

Them stretch and waiving Batum was the beginning of the disaster that led back to Elfrid coming back

One year? Bro, it's more like 21 years!!!

He has to refuse any offer, take the QO and force NOLA to sign and trade him.

Yes, he has to be Porzingis brothers type crazy!!

I wonder if the front office would be able articulate what the plan is for this team. I honestly don't think they could do it in a clear and concise way.

Why would he leave a good thing in NOLA

Good organizations make smart moves......

Perfect fit for them.

I’m not even gonna get my hopes up about a possibility of Ingram.. Bobby Portis is the next FA we sign..

Or. He isn't that good. We tend to overrate everyone on this team because these guys are like 10s in a room of 6s. When in reality, they'd be sub-6 on any other team.

I just musing the same thing! When is Leon going to face the media and fans and explain WTF is going on? I know I have an old axe to grind with this guy but I'm telling you, he's not that bright. He just isn't.

[K_ick_God]

The agents and teams obviously are coordinating way ahead — so why should Boston get the luxury of being able to let Gordon go to Charlotte and they save $34M while Milwaukee gets in trouble?

Very unfair!

They were trying to get Ibaka...

[knickstape4ever]

it's technically not too late to renege on the Payton deal

Not a death sentence for our team hopefully. Last season should have been a death sentence for Elfrid’s Knicks career though. Only player he cared about besides Randle was himself.

It really feels like this FO has been a bit unprepared for different scenarios. At pick 33, were there really no other players left to draft once you lost Vernon Carey and drafted Quickley? PGs getting signed left and right and your reaction is Elfrid?

He went to the Bux.
