One interesting thing I heard was Jalen Brunson. I totally forgot about him and he’s an option. Isn’t he related to Leon Rose or family friend or something? Could shine way more without Luka.

Overpaying Brunson is worse than overpaying Schroder


Brunson can shoot

Vildoza does the same things Brunson can do at a much cheaper contract.

Rick Brunson is Leon Rose's first client. I think Leon Rose is Jalen Brunson godfather.

I would be all for that. I would really like Jalen for our team.

Not that Brunson is a bad player but damn if these are the only types of players Rose’s connections can get us then it ain’t worth it

Come on... Fournier is a significant upgrade over Bullock.

Just say you don't like Fournier, that's accurate. "Fournier is terrible" is not accurate.


Oh no he’s really not

The moment he steps in the floor he’s the weak link


Your emotions are getting the best of you chief.

If a guy who puts up 17 ppg on 41% from three and 46% from the field is our weakest link then we had a PHENOMENAL offseason.


He is awful and not worth our time or money. This guy is THJ but even worse defense

Brunson + Fournier on fair deals wouldn't be terrible. Would still give us cap to add more young guys to the mix.

The difference is Jalen Brunson makes 1.8 MM this year. Then he has a 3.4 MM cap hold next year with bird rights. So you could fill our your entire team bring in guys then go over the cap to sign him to a contract by keeping his rights with his low cap hold.

The majority of Knicks fans don't want to spend money on any point guard.

The only logical conclusion is that they want Payton back.

Might as well sign Elfraud to a 5-year deal so we don't get the illusion that each year is gonna be his last. He's here forever.

"The Blazers have shown no inkling they intend to move on from Damian Lillard or C.J. McCollum, and have a slew of their own free agents—Norman Powell, most notably, plus guaranteeing the $12 million for the final year of Jusuf Nurkic’s contract, which Portland is expected to do—to deal with. Ex-Blazer Nicolas Batum is on the Blazers radar, per a source, with Portland projecting to be limited with what it can spend by its $5.3 million mid-level exception."



The time is now Dame… request that trade big dawg

Read on Twitter


I mean, that's better than 20 mil a year at least?

He's not really solving our problems, but he is technically an upgrade over Bullock

So it looks like we're trying to tread water until someone wants to come.
