anyone willing to give Kyle Lowry a 1 yr 39 mil contract? may be what it takes to get him away from the heat.

Everything to me screams a trade is coming with Robinson, other players + picks.

I don't know about that. I think we may be seeing that the value of a large number of likely mid-late 1st round picks is not all that great. 2 seasons now you have to assume the Knicks have been trying to make impact trades for a proven player and nothing's happened. The only types of impact players that most Knick fans are willing to trade will likely only get you a (current day) Russell Westbrook level impact player.

Shroder is better than Brunson. Y’all gonna be crying about missing out on shroder when the day is up

Idk how people crying about Schroder but wanna go after Brunson who’s nothing more than a quality back up

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.

I don’t even like Schroder that much but he would be a massive upgrade over Payton. Wtf is Brunson gonna do for us?

[Doom Demise]

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

Just say you don't watch, him and THJ don't have similar games at all

Why though? Just to keep him away from the Heat?

No no way Fournier is terrible. Let’s just say I rather have Bullock back thank pay Fournier

I could see that.
But Knicks needed a more well rounded wing starting than Bullocks.
And the Knicks are losing Burks, who was the best on the roster at getting his own shot, outside Rose. And Randle, but Randle is the PF - so the guys who could collapse the D from the out to in.

I brought this up before as a bit of harsh truth:
RJ makes it hard to build the team, right now.
Or, taking up Channel, RJ & Randle.
RJ isn't there yet as a top level wing who can just go and score from 3 levels.
So it demands that the PG is great or the other wing is well rounded, to make up for his CURRENT deficiencies.
Then again, the Knicks apparently have decided to INVEST IN RJ'S DEVELOPMENT.
But I believe it's going to be another 2 full seasons where you can really get away with a Bullocks next to RJ.
Sure, Knicks got 4th seed etc, but I think they played over their head.

Also, making a move for Fournier is an inherent risk in the "1 year deal" since the Knicks have to replace the following:
Starting PG. Backup PG. Starting Wing. Backup Wing. Backup Center. Their two best perimeter drive and score guys in that group. Their best 3 point shooter.
It's going to be a bit of work to break even.

Go throw money at GTJ or Norman Powell or somebody else who isn’t Fournier

Oh yeah, I'd prefer those choices for sure.

$18 mill for Fournier is pretty good, given his offensive versatility. I wonder if that is $18 mill annually or starting at $18 mill with raises to equal maybe about $80 mill for 4

Now Brunson is trash? I have seen it all.

He's a good guy and his dad used to be the teams alternate ballboy? Seriously though IF Brunson can be had for cheap, sure. But folks are getting carried away with him like they did last season with FVV.

[thebuzzardman]

Knicks wanted a player similar to Fournier last year, Gordon Haywood.

Knicks went from Alt-Right to Left Bank

I'm not quite sure you know who Evan Fournier is.

depends on the amount of years but it seems reasonable amount moneywise when you look at who else gets paid that much.

That's taking it a bit too far...

Brogdon is available. Not sure why, but if people are willing to trade for Myles Turner maybe we expand.

Less of a health risk as well. I wanted Gordon for a good number and his deal was too rich for me personally in the end. Fournier for $18 mill is ok

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.

I mean 18 MM isn't crazy. But this out of the gate is confusing unless they already heard from all the big dogs they have no interest in pairing with people.

Like we need to lock up Fournier before we even have the meeting with Kawhi? What if Kawhi wants to try to bring someone else?

Now Brunson is trash? I have seen it all.

As a starting PG? He is.

Man **** this team I’m out…. Unless I get a wild notification lol

Nobody cares man just go lmao

I don't think Knicks have ever missed the playoffs with Thibs and a Brunson on the team.

Idk what the circumstance would be, but in a vacuum, Jalen (paid as a reserve) is a much more appealing option than roto-scroder.

Lakers are trying to win, don't care about the cap, and realized last year that they need that kid off the team. That should pretty much tell you what you need to know that LeBron thought Westbrook would be a better teammate.

That’s solid
3/50 3rd year team option.
