EXACTLY!!!!!! I'm like "WTF"

It’s a combination of things!!!!

Leon and co can’t even get guys like lonzo ball and Kyle Lowry to sign here after we were sold all the connections they had and blah blah blah!!!!!!

I mean we have the most cap space in the league a bunch load of draft picks and we can’t even get creative and get a deal done for young player like a Sexton!!!!!

All that and we’ll only end up getting Dennis Schroeder and Evan Fournier!!!!!

It’s embarrassing man it really is!!!!!

Not only you, but mainly because of you, I hope the Knicks strike out on every FA and trade

Heat about to extend Butler 4. Years 181 million.. sounds like a bad idea tbh

The thing is I really don’t mind Fournier. He’s a big time upgrade over Bullock. I understand that Fournier has had his struggles in the post season with Orlando but he was actually one of the better players on Boston who showed up vs BK. 16 PPG on 44% 3PT shooting on 6.5 attempts. You can literally pencil in EF for 18-3-3 on 40% 3PT on impressive volume and unlike Bullock he can actually create for himself and in the P&R and is a willing slasher/cutter.

It’s Dennis Schroder that’s causing me to have a mental breakdown. Again this is the same player since 2016. I legitimately can’t think of one area he’s gotten better at. I am willing to admit he’s gotten better defensively but there is no reason to give him the keys when he’s turning 28.

If this front office even thinks they have a 1% chance at Dame or the likes of signing LaVine Beal or Sexton how can Leon and Co be okay with Dennis at over $20 mill per year. That won’t be an easy contract to simply trade away.

The guy would be a dynamite 6th man. Why pay him like he’s a star PG. We don’t wanna be saddled with that.

The sad thing is that while I agree Shroder is better suited as a bench PG he’d still probably be our best PG since Marbury, that’s how bad it is

It’s frightening how true that is. The fact that we brought in Spida Mitch for TWO workouts and still chose Frank as well as drafting Knox over his superior teammate in SGA and Obi over Halliburton means we deserve Schroder.

Thank you for this clarity. I needed it.

I hate to break it to you and this guy but odds are, that's the plan and it's not a bad one if you do some homework. If we are over the cap we'll need to send out equal value in any trade. Let's use Lillard for example:

If he starts the year with Portland and it goes badly, he's going to request a trade and he's not going to request a trade to a team that stinks. On paper, Fournier and Schroder makes this team better so you're doing what you need to do to remain an attractive destination. Now look at the trade itself... we are going to have to match salary which is about $40 mil. If you throw them Schroder (since they need a PG now) as the main piece salary-wise then you can build off that with complementary players and picks. It also makes it way easier to find a third team that might have an expiring deal they want to dump.

It's not my ideal scenario but it's certainly not LOL KNICKZ like so many want it to be.

It's actually a pretty mediocre plan that really will limit us going forward especially how many years tying up mediocre players for large sums of money.

It's a plan Steve Mills can do which is facts. Because they did the same things 2 years ago.

Now THAT'S a strawman argument.

Same thing two years ago? Really? When they signed too many PF's and 1 year guys that weren't good and didn't fit. Do tell.

When he was proposed, I thought is he the best point guard since....1st year Felton? Nope. Better. So yeah, Marbury it is.

Boston about to roll out Elfrid Jason Richardson in the backcourt. Stevens was a better coach. Tatum in 2028.

Two years ago we signed an all-star and MIP and 2nd team all nba guy for a discount contract. It will be hard to top that.

Clyde can't pronounce Fournier.

This why we are the laughing stock of nba Fandom. Decent or average upgrades are trash now. And we expect to get the biggest free agent every year. Gotta crawl b4 we can run

Well look at the bright side at least Fournier speaks French and can be a mentor for Fr….. whoops he gone lol

How much do you think dynamite 6th men get paid these days? Star PGs dont cost 20 mil they cost 40+

What are we offering Fournier.. 30 mil per?

Zach LaVine is looking for "respect" in his next contract.

Speaking at the Olympics, LaVine said "I outplayed my contract. I've been very loyal to Chicago. I like Chicago. I just want my respect. If that's now or later, it's something we've got to work out internally."

If Kawhi is resigning Fournier might actually be the biggest free agent or close

[KnixtapeH20]

I don't believe any of these "reports" until I hear it from the Knicks FO themselves or its at least final..
... Until then

True but there are a few other teams that skip a walking process. Indiana and Charlotte are some similar-esque teams that come to mind. Both have had some strong free agent signings/trades over the last few years. We can't get a decent FA to take our money to join a playoff team
