Solid contract. Not crippling. Get him through his best years.

Kind of sucks that they didn’t take SGA at 6 but who saw Vuc becoming an all star?


That is a solid contract.

20 and 12 guy that can shoot 3s. He is a stretch 5 and not many centers in the market can say that.


Yep. Good in the post too.

I wonder if the contract is declining as well.

ATL or one of these other young teams should see the price for Bomba.

Who said anything about overpaying him or not telling him to get in line though?

Point is he should be here if it fits into the calculations


If he would take MMLE after 2 maxes, I’m in. Or if we go DLo/KD, I’m in. Other than that, I’m cool on letting him walk and I like him a lot. He’s switchable on D, hits the open 3, and eats glass


Yeah, if it works, then keep him. That's basically it. Both Noah and Dot shared honors for stretches last season where they were the most consistent Knicks. That's noteworthy. He's legit and he has some room for improvement.

TBH, of all of the "Second Draft" players, for my money, Vonleh was the best of that crop

Vuc: Traded to Orlando (ORL) from Philadelphia (PHI) after his rookie season as part of a 4-team trade;

Los Angeles: in: Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon, Earl Clark, out: Andrew Bynum, Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga
Philadelphia: in: Andrew Bynum, Jason Richardson; out: Andre Iguodala, Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless
Orlando: in: Josh McRoberts, Christian Eyenga, Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington; out: Jason Richardson, Dwight Howard, Chris Duhon, Earl Clark
Denver: in: Andre Iguodala; out Arron Afflalo, Al Harrington, to Los Angeles

Orlando receives second-round draft pick from Denver (2013), a first-round pick from either Denver or New York (2014), one protected future first-round pick from each of the other three teams: Nuggets (2014), 76ers (2015) and Lakers (2017)

Brutal trade for the 76ers.

If he wants more money the easy call is starting in golden state. His Buisness would be fine there.


The company has 10 employees at the moment, but it is moving into a new office building in New York City as it continues what Durant insists is a careful expansion

Durant’s company could be moving to New York for many reasons. His business partner and manager, Rich Kleiman, lives there. Obviously, many companies are based in New York.


Sure but who's really the driving force here? Durant or Kleiman? Also, the story Kleiman was telling about the KD phone convo where KD went off on him, why would he go off on him unless Kleiman had influence on where he went? His manager sold him on GS and now he's selling him on the Knicks. This guy Kleiman is obviously a major influence in his decisions. Yeah the GS Warriors contract is more but again, the success of this business is probably more important to Kleiman than that GS contract is to him for Durant.


I really not sure, but i would be surprised if Durant is not deciding for himself


He probably is but there's people in his ear offering their opinions, suggestions for whatever motives they got. All players are influenced by somebody, whether it's family, business partners/agents, etc. but everybody got a circle that plays a role in their decision making. Ultimately KD makes his decision I'm just talking about who is influencing him to make them. We know his manager and him are close and the dude plays a role, he's exposed that to us already but they are also business partners which makes it a little more complicated when it comes to decisions.

Yep. Led to the Hinkie hiring.

Would have been fun to see Bynum Jrue and Iggy together

I don’t see the necessity of Bev to the Bulls but he would be a good fit for the Mavs.

Bev and Randle are who the Mavs should go after.


Bev offered himself to the Bulls because he is from Chicago e a big Bulls fan. Maybe he signs at a discount...

They can get rid of Dunn now...

Middle name at the minimum.

I don’t like using bad contracts to justify another bad contract. But I do like using solid contracts to highlight how bad another contract is.

Vuc is gonna make 3 mil more annually than this guy.

Congrats Harrison. The P word prevails.

Terry Rozier looks like a Hornet and a player MJ would love. That’s hilarious.

I am lowkey a fan of Rozier, not that I wanted him to sign with us or anything.

That being said I still am loving having those Charlotte second round picks. Thanks Willy
