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

[Blue Ninja]

He needs another extension. Definitely will be done by 11:30

no extension, he meant pacific standard time, so yeah 11:30 lol

[N Y K]

So who is left out there now? Where's that list I kept seeing float around in the previous thread?

Damn. I'm here for the mass bloodlust of a ban and nothing.

Disappointment on top of disappointment today.

830 came and went and the deed is done.

If history is any indicator, this will be the Knicks front office response when reporters ask why they didn’t upgrade the point guard position:

U guys realize Wannamaker probably wants to play for a contender right?

maybe, but he's also made less than 3M in his short NBA career (got paid overseas, but probably not much). it's possible that if offered more $ he would have taken it to maximize his earning potential

Ah yes, the exact thing they have proved uniquely incapable of doing

the roundabout agent thought process will be rose will make sure Payton has a good time because Payton is repped by the same CAA agent that is reps Donovan Mithchell. To then get left at the alter per usual.

what's this 8:30 thing about?

[snadler]

There is no way anyone can say honestly that going into free agency the plan was elf and Burks for 11 million

I promise to tell you the full story at 11:30 pm EST

I checked Shams and Woj at 830 and it takes a minute. We have to write notes and stuff.

It's a temp ban but I put a message to the mod forum that we should ban on sight when they return like we used to do with Rotten Apple. Do all use the report function. Thanks in advance.

lol I feel like we're all wasting our time sitting around our computers/phones waiting for something to happen... I'm out. This can't be life.

Perry messed up and typed "s" instead of "e" at the end of Burk, so wrong guy got acquired.

NOP is probably waiting to see if someone makes him an offer - outside teams can only offer 4 years, the incumbent team can offer 5. If Ingram gets a max offer from someone else, NOP can just match it and save a year on their offer.

That's the point, if he is your guy why even lowball him, just give him the full max. Sixers didn't wait to max it Ben, Utah didn't wait to max Mitchell. You get my drift?

If he's your guy shouldn't you make him happy and give him what he rightfully deserved this season?

I think it'd just be pure business to try and be as lean as possible on salary (I was stunned at Swipa's extension, but I guess SAC has to do that). What's your offer to see if Griffin is willing to sell on him?

I'd give him the max possible and see if Griffin matches. I bet they would though

Jeff Teague is still available... you never know

Cool. Of course I'm joking about the delay. I'm running out of material.

I'll be reinvigorated when Rose/Perry re-up Ellington.
