fuck yo loser-bro shit, Dy.
So the Knicks have to get rid of Amare. But who will take his stupid contract?
How about the Brooklyn Nets who will have $30million+ in salary cap space?
Nets get a guy who is locked up for a few years, Knicks get away from his horrid contract. Also a quick way to heat up a dead rivalry
The thought of an Amare/Brook Lopez front court also amuses me.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
only 7 rebound front court in the NBA
Otis won't be around. And they won't have the cap space. Nets are more desperate too, can't move to BROOKLYN with Morrow, Lopez and lil Kobe as your team.
with 4 coming from whoever starts at the three.

I refuse to believe Otis will be fired until he's actually gone.

swishscout.com has a lot of great NBA draft videos on the player's prospect pages for those interested.
It is bad right now but I'd rather take him and go boom or bust then just take a safe pick
I'll accept Drummond when I'm dead.
Jones? PJ3?
I don't know man. Cats just need decent players at this point. Robinson def looks like he's 6'10 or bigger to me. Maybe it's just me but he looks taller than Sullinger.

I actually don't disagree with you even though it probably does come off that way. Drummond just comes off as easier to make fun of.
Keep fucking that chicken, knicks-age
I understand. I just prefer to make fun of guys who are too soft than guys who are too dumb.

I would keep Fields. With Lin he was playing well. Knicks need to create an offensive system where they can utilize Amare and Chandler with PnR's. Tyson was so good at PnR's with Lin. Hopefully JR will leave and we can somehow sign Novak.

You were supposed to be in here days ago.
You would've been here all along if it weren't for Lin.
You belong here,
My loser bro.

If this is the dumb shit I'm going to have to read, I'll stay outta here until the NBA Draft.
Just close your eyes and pretend that contract can't hurt you...

Or y'know, try and sign an offensive assistant to try to integrate the players into a system better since for the first time they'll have a complete offseason and training camp to work on things.
Try and see what you can scrounge up with the midlevel exception, two $1.4 million vet exceptions, and the sole draft pick they own. Maybe buy another 2nd rounder, dip into the NBDL or sign a UDFA.
Get treatment/rehab injuries and try to keep players healthy and in better shape a.k.a Mike Woodson's challenge to Carmelo Anthony.
... or they could just do nothing and troll the NBA for 3 months like Charlotte did. Personally, I like the proactive approach that shows they're serious about basketball. Something you're not being in this discussion right now.
MLE has to go to Lin, Fields will get his Early Bird deal to keep full Bird Rights, so it's just the $2mill bi-annual exemption, veterans minimum and pick #48.
I'd assume Novak gets a bigger deal somewhere else, and JR Smith probably can get more than the 2.5million player option he has.

What's with this assistant shit? Woodson didn't have you guys play D when you had the premier offensive coach in Mike D. You could hire Thibs and no offensive assistant in the world would make Amare not suck. He got outplayed by Boozer this year. Its Seppuku Time.
The MLE is going to Lin. The only vet quality you're looking at is Roger Mason Jr. (again) and Mac.
And you wish you could tank.
Its okay though, loser bro, you're among family here. This is where we embrace the taint and look in the mirror.

I honestly don't think Lin gets the full MLE... I'd think he gets 3-4 million of it and Fields gets like 1-1.5 million.
JR Smith - Gone, everyone knew he was a rental.
Steve Novak - Interesting because he truly loves NY, but his value did get hurt a bit in the playoffs. If he's willing to take the vet's minimum (lol) or the biannual, that'd be great.
Toney Douglas - Signed for 1 more year, he becomes the de facto backup Shooting Guard. Dude needs to straighten out whatever issues he had and rehab the shoulder, because there's no way he can play like he did this season next year. Dude looked scared on the court at times.
Josh Harrelson - I really want to see him play more, good low post defender and smart. He worked very well with Chandler and he has the semblance of an offensive game.
Jared Jeffries - Gone. Doubt he takes the vet minimum, although he's done it before
So you give up and not try to improve your team? Stay pessimistic and stick you head in the sand?
that's some peterb0y shit right there, the last refuge of a Quad L... that's shameful, Dy. All those Shameball Classics have turned you into a shell of yourself. But if you want to play this game, sure I'll bite:
EDIT: 1) I would think if you keep Woodson Dolan will try to hire another coach that he handpicks. He does this stuff all the time because he a moron, which is why I said "assistant". If they don't I would figure with a full camp they'll work on things.
2) Lin is not getting the full MLE unless a team drives up his price. Bank on it... but then again this IS Dolan.
3) ... you're right, I wish Knicks could. But tanking for a lower seed in the playoffs is different from regular tanking.
I honestly believe they will retain Harrelson, Jefferies, and Novak. Smith could stay depending on what the other offers are. I don't see them keeping Toney. I thought Woodson didn't like him.
Frankman, doing something for the sake of doing something doesn't necessarily mean that it will make your team better. (I also think you're waaaaay overstating the power/importance/influence a coach has). The issue isn't the pieces around your core, its your core. You're crazy if you think that Amare, Chandler, and Melo can be a championship squad, regardless of what roleplayers you put around them.
I know failure when I see it. So far, the Knicks are one game better than LB's playoff Bobcats.
Your point guard of the future already endured a public humiliation too. All you have to do now is wait for a new owner and an epic tank job.

Someone will offer him $4mil/2 years or something similar.
Again, I think some other team will throw the full MLE at Lin. And if Fields takes the Early Bird exemption it wont affect the MLE.
I think there would be a massive meltdown in NY if they lost Lin by not offering the full MLE.
Both guys are guys that I would be cautious of. People say both of them have bad attitudes. Drummond is a softy and Jones is one of those guys that looks like a player so people overrate him.

NY has the right to match any offer I believe, and I can see them trying to use the "need to sign other players" card on Lin (Fields, who he's friends with). I honestly don't think unless they drastically lowball him he would demand more money, no one really knows his ceiling/floor. He's basically the equivalent of an promising young player off his rookie contract, w/o the volume of games played. And considering the huge Asian market in NY I don't see him wanting to leave.
I will say that Landry shouldn't get any more than $1.5 million, if he gets that. He hurt himself bad the last 2 weeks
Toney is signed already, so unless they trade him he's going to be here. I'd stay away from Jeffries, Jorts makes him redundant somewhat. Use that money to sign Novak. Smith is gone, some team is going to overpay him at $7+ million a year.
I look at Jones and see a weaker Julian Wright...
I was thinking Magic Randolph without the magic. So basically Earl Clark.
edit: hey who does this sound like?

Bye bye JR.
Novak/Landry back if cheap.
Heal Shumps/Lin to full health.
Use Knicks-age amnesty on talisay.
/offseason.
That's what the NBA needs, another small market NBA team.
Columbus is the largest city in Ohio.
Move the Cavaliers there, then.

I don't think he's ever been part of the 15 people roster. He's some annoying drunk at the entrance of MSG, that's it.

Ohio does not need two teams nor do I think it would be a good idea. Gilbert would likely object.

All aboard! The Love train!
Target Center renovations passed. Plan is to start next spring.
How anticlimactic. Where's the Vikings level drama?
