[Riot Randolph]

MINUTE DISTRIBUTION

PG: Kemba (24)
SG: Fournier (32)
SF: Barrett (32)
PF: Randle (36)
C: Mitch (28)

PG: Rose (24)
SG: Quickley (16)
SF: Burks (16)
PF: Toppin (12)
C: Noel (20)

We are getting Melo at backupt 4... Toppin at 5... I would trade Noel, Burks and a heavily protected pick for Hield

Lol Melo signed with LA

But yes id trade noel and burks for hield in a heartbeat

gross that contract and fg %

[Bob Ross]

Wonder if they gave Rose any indication whether he would start. He doesn’t seem like he’d care, major credit to him. Seems like it might matter to Kemba and he’s the one on a discount. Either way seems 50-50 with minutes.

I doubt he cares. It's been reported he knows his limitations and doesn't wanna start.

I gotta say his attitude is night and day from his first go around with us

I still can’t believe what we just pulled off!!!!!!

Leon is the goat!!!!!!

Fck Leon. Kemba fell onto our laps. You make it seem like Leon performed some hocus pocus.

Except he prob left ALOT money on the table

Rose never had a problem with the Knicks, it was personal (Mom's death, problem with his daugther) issues that effected his 1st go around. But he was always a good soldier.
Rooks loved him last year.

Wow didn't realize it was so frontloaded...

What Rose and Co. was like with the media and other teams.

Fck Leon. Kemba fell onto our laps. You make it seem like Leon performed some hocus pocus.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Leon had us in the position to take advantage of the situation and he fell into our laps. No hocus pocus involved, just good decision making resulting in a rare positive outcome for this franchise.

So much of free agency is “luck” and being in a position to take advantage of a good opportunity when it arises and for once it benefitted us instead of some other team. Hopefully a good positive sign for the future

Negotiating a buyout takes time with millions, upon millions on the line. So you know Kemba's team was definately talking with the Knicks during the process. Funny that the Knicks waited for the Lakers and others to eat up their money.

Come on, you don't think the Lakers wouldn't have jumped on the Walker buyout? The Nets? For $8million? Of course!

I give Kemba's agents more credit than Leon. Leon and WWW were advertised as being these influencers who could woo the big free agents here. BS.

if the knicks/thibs are smart they give walker and rose games off, you can afford it -- you have the horses.

Let McBride rock it.

i mean that's an option, but out of rj/fournier/iq/burks/rose/walker you can sit rose/walker from time to time.

I think IQ get those minutes before McBride. Agree?

With this signing we have upgraded from lotto pick #10 to lotto pick #14.

Wait a minute.......that's an upgrade??

That's probably fair. The awol thing wasn't a good look. Instead of attitude, I shouldve said production/play on the court. Thats really what sucked the first go around

This will end up either 1998/1999 or 2016/2017

This offseason we:

Upgraded Bullock to Evan Fournier
Upgraded Payton to Kemba Walker
Kept all our 1st round picks
Added another 1st round pick
Kept all our kids
Drafted 4 guys
Gave out flexible 2+1 deals to players already in our system

We didn't keep all of our 1st round picks and didn't add one? We trade one for a future one. Just sayin.

Getting Kemba for 8 Million is insanely good. He fits perfectly with this team. No need to play more than 25 minutes with Rose and IQ.
This team is better than the Hawks that beat us in the playoffs.

Bro, Leon and Wes have eyes and ears everywhere. Big agents? Like who? Dame?
What splash last year and this year did you want?
