They've certainly got the right number of chuckers for Pringles.

Pringles should be gunning for that Clippers job.

So Knicks are going to actively shop for a vet point guard with Lin, interestingly enough depending on who they get it hasn't been set in stone that Lin would be the starter.

Knicks have the $1.4 and the $2 million exception, and according to sources they should be able to get a good deal since the CBA will prevent many teams from going after players and most teams already have a starting PG.

I'm checking ESPN and these are all the PGs/combo PGs I can find whose names have been thrown about, including a few I put in for giggles:

D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats – $3.2 million – Restricted ($4.4 million Qualifying Offer)
Chauncey Billups, L.A. Clippers – $2.0 million – Unrestricted (LOL)
Raymond Felton, Portland Trail Blazers – $7.6 million – Unrestricted
Jonny Flynn, Portland Trail Blazers – $3.4 million – Unrestricted
Derek Fisher, Oklahoma City Thunder – $3.4 million – Unrestricted (LOL)
Sundiata Gaines, Brooklyn Nets – $0.9 million – Unrestricted
Kirk Hinrich, Atlanta Hawks – $8.0 million – Unrestricted
Tracy McGrady, Atlanta Hawks – $1.3 million – Unrestricted
Gary Neal - can't find salary info.
Jannero Pargo, Atlanta Hawks – $1.1 million – Unrestricted
A.J. Price, Indiana Pacers – $0.9 million – Unrestricted
Ramon Sessions, L.A. Lakers – $4.3 million – Player Option ($4.6 million)
Delonte West, Dallas Mavericks – $1.1 million – Unrestricted


Also, I just realized Landry Fields made only $800,000 last season... he'll take $1-1.2 million and shut the fuck up.

Knicks had their chance at DJ.

No way he leaves for only those puny exceptions.

I want Andre Miller.

Impossible.

Delonte future.

 

[darkside31337]

Knicks ain't getting anybody but Felton for that kind of money.

We have the non-tax MLE available.

Nashty is ours.

Sadly, I'd take Felton back if he came cheap.
At least I know he and Stoudemire mesh well together on pick and rolls...

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Funny enough I think the guy that would really help this Knicks roster will be drafted around the spot where they would be drafting this year.

That guy is Kendall Marshall. He is a pass first point guard with solid handles and very good court vision. If he was paired with Jeremy Lin they would have a nice set of point guards.

I'm tired of small PGs, I want a guy who can play some semblace of D and is at least 6'3 at PG.

Delonte future.

Yo I respect a defensive-oriented crazy PG. And STAT and Carmelo can't really say shit to him because you don't want to be around Delonte when he snaps.

Plus can you imagine the Delonte-LeBron's mom rumors in NY?

Knicks ain't getting anybody but Felton for that kind of money.

Knicks have alot of options in FA, remember there literally no market for these guys. There are alot more A and B-tier guys I didn't list (Andre Miller, Jameer Nelson, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, etc.) because they'll be snapped up.

Marshall is 6'4 and his D is probably the best NY has seen at that position in years.

*does quick Google/YouTube on Kendall Marshall*

http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kendall-Marshall-5095/

Marshall had a superb season in Chapel Hill by many standards, which can be evidenced by looking at his statistical accomplishments in relation to the rest of our database. It's no secret that Marshall's game centers heavily around his fantastic abilities passing the ball, which look even more impressive when you view them in a historical context.

Marshall's 10.7 assists per 40 minutes game adjusted this season rank the highest of any player in the history of our database (which goes back to 2001/2002). He's also #1 all-time in Pure Point Ratio by a large margin, while his 3.51 Assist-Turnover Ratio ranks 3rd all-time..

When looking at Marshall's game from an NBA perspective, his passing ability is clearly his greatest selling point, and it's hard to overstate how good of a passer he is and how great a feel he has for managing a game.

well I have my 1st guy on the list to submit to Tommy Dee!

 

[diehard]

Marshall will not be there at #15 and i promise you that.

because someone will jump Golden State, and the Jazz will take him at 8.

 

[The Frankman]

waitaminute, he's projected in the 1st round. The only pick the Knicks have (barring buying a pick) is the #18 pick in the second round. How are the Knicks supposed to draft Marshall exactly?

um they arent, he said where the Knicks would have been picking.

how the hell did you not know you didnt have a first round pick? at this point you don't have one more often than you do.

I know they didn't have a 1st rounder. It sounded like he said Marshall would be at where the Knicks were at, which is the 2nd round. No qualifier was listed.

prayers and wet dreams

IN GLEN GRUNWALD/ALLAN HOUSTON I TRUST.

 

[DY_nasty]

Do you need a hug, loser bro? I'm here if you need a hug.

*hug*

 

[The Frankman]

Can't be broken up about a guy I had no knowledge of. I haven't even started my draft focus yet, when I do it'll be interesting to see what the Knicks do. They've had some good success in the 2nd round the last few years.

EDIT: Let me just say when the Bobcats wind up with a pick not in the Top 3, it's over for you. Don't show up on GAF anymore because I will RIDE YOUR SHIT. Most historic tankjob in the history and you don't get Top 3? Karma's coming for you Dy.

Rose had his surgery today, and it went well. No complications.

Lol sure he is...

I want Delonte for backcourt depth but he's not a one*. I say we draft someone at 48 and hope he pans out l, if not then raid the d league.

Spoiler

*You don't need a real point to run the triangle anyway....

 

[linsivvi]

Knicks age, here's somebody you once cut but you can have him back. He is not a small guard and has experience with the triangle. He's got championship experience too. Seems like a perfect fit.

 

[masud]

Yue's not giving up all that Chinese pussy to be a nobody in America again.

 

[linsivvi]

Heh...but he could be Linsanity the sequel.

Oh and I think Frankman forgot Aaron Brooks: Q-$2,976,636

Better than Lin, Baron, and Bibby.

This.

Marshall sucks on D, but the Knicks haven't exactly been running out stoppers at the point for the past couple of years.

 

[JoeFu]

So because the Mavs actually a pick in the teens for the first time in a long time, who is this Terrance Ross guy that draftexpress is projecting they pick at 17?

 

[ThisWreckage]

So because the Mavs actually a pick in the teens for the first time in a long time, who is this Terrance Ross guy that draftexpress is projecting they pick at 17?

He's pretty damn good. He's a slasher that scores in volume and that's exactly what the Mavs need. Then they need to get rid of Terry.

 

[JoeFu]

He's pretty damn good. He's a slasher that scores in volume and that's exactly what the Mavs need. Then they need to get rid of Terry.

Looking at the mock draft they have up, it's mostly all bigs, surely someone would pick Ross up before 17 if he's that good?

They probably won't resign Terry, so yeah he's gone.

You have to understand that bigs are valued more in the draft. Teams will take a mediocre big over a good wing player in a heartbeat. The C position is bad in the NBA and the PF isn't much better when you consider that two of the best PFs (Blake Griffin and Amare) don't even rebound.

 

[JoeFu]

Haha yeah I'm always lost when it comes to the draft because I cannot watch college ball. I know bigs are overvalued. Just hope Ross actually falls to the Mavs.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Sorry Grizz, really bad injury luck this year.

edit: PF is a stacked position, C isn't really doing any worse than SG or arguably SF, the bigs in this draft aren't overvalued.

 

[jjasper]

If I see Hollins on the street I think I might punch him in the throat. Dude needs to figure out what the fuck he is doing. Such a terrible job coaching his series. Getting outcoached by VDN should earn you an automatic firing. That isn't even getting into forcing the front office to trade away your backup PG without a replacement and the other bullshit you pulled this year.

 

[charsace]

Jokes? Lin is a better defender than Marshall by far. I have Marshall as the top pg in this draft, but his defense is not a reason to rate him.

I didn't; no way can the Knicks sign him, I'd think he gets 3+ mill.

You missed one

You know what? FUCK YOU.

Lin plays defense?

I think chars typed Lin instead of Shump. That happens to me alot too.
