I don't think we are going to need his option money. I think we gladly pick up his option. If a trade opens up we are going to need salaries to match. I think we keep almost everyone this offseason and don't really sign anyone. Save money for 2021.

And i think Taj, a brooklyn kid, enjoys lacing it up for his NY Knix and knows he wouldn't start for most contending teams.

A guy like Taj, Hark, to a lesser extent Randle you know what you are getting every night.
Taj's consistency and effort is unusually high. Old school. I like him a lot. For us, I don't think he's a significant component, but I could see him making a difference for a contender. I was surprised he wasn't traded last week.
Young teams need good veterans to learn good habits from. Taj is a great locker room guy whose production on the court is still significant enough that his voice in the locker room carries weight.

« on: February 09, 2020, 12:41:28 AM »Sounds about right. I saw A Very Bradley mentioned in some rumors, but he's too valuable to Lakes D. While Granny Dean's 3's would be replaced by Morris.
Don't really see how Kuz or Green fit with the Knix, but they'd be assets. And probably best to try to refill Green to a contender for sth.
Maybe our shaken-up FO didn't have time to work out the-trades ...
We got rid of a suit with no NBA bonafides. He was a dangerous growth that needed to be excised.
We didn't lose our GM. Perry was here through it all and had as much time as any front office.
I don't see who you route Green to. We might regret not taking Kuzma though.

Quote
According to the LA Times, the Lakers and Knicks failed to come to an agreement, but the report indicates the Lakers were willing to give up some pieces. Those were reportedly Kyle Kuzma and Danny Green, but the Knicks said no.
From there, the report states "the Knicks then countered with a deal centered around Kuzma, Avery Bradley, DeMarcus Cousins and at least one second-round pick." The Lakers said no to that, and the deal never happened.
Morris, 30, averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 43.9 from three for the Knicks this season. Morris sat out the Clippers' first game since he joined the team, which went down as a 142-115 loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday.

The Knicks were willing to trade Smith and Frank for talent, but they couldn't make the deal. So the issues are obvious.
I've criticized Frank's stagnation in the past, but much of that may have been a product of questionable coaching. The last couple of months has shown positive signs. Let's play the dude more and see what we've got. Weren't you criticizing the Knicks last year for undermining his confidence with inconsistent minutes?
Smith's best game in two years was the one he had against us before we traded him. For the last year, his poor play was ascribed to injuries or personal issues. How long do we keep saying that? Yeah, I would have preferred to forget the whole fucking Porzingis debacle and trade the man for someone else who might help the team more. That didn't happen. But I sure as shit hope that if his play doesn't improve, he sits.
Knicks, according to rumor shopped, damn near every body on the roster. I'm happy they didn't make a short-sighted deal and want to now develop these guys. I liked/loved Elfrid and Frank backcourt experiment last game. Steals galore.
I've criticized the knicks in the past for not playing Frank. But he had all the opportunities this season and we did not win games with him. Payton is playing several head and shoulders above Frank at the 1. Frank at the 2 could be great. Let's see more of that.

« on: February 08, 2020, 09:50:33 PM »Knicks did all the right things this week. Reflected in their record on and off the court.No. The surplus of guards is not an advantage to player development.
Do you really want Smith taking Frank's time?
yes
they are both assets
Right.
Did you want Malik Monk taking Frank's time? That was who Dennis was rumored to be traded for.
You're asking me?
You have to pay better attention. I am with Coach Cal, who said Monk would have been a great Knick
I was asking elephant. He seemed to want Dennis gone at all costs at the deadline.

« on: February 08, 2020, 08:52:56 PM »Buyout season has begun. At least in CHA.
Marvelous Williams bought out, plans to sign with MIL assuming nobody claims him. MIL dropping Bender for the roster spot. Great cheap vet pickup.
MKG bought out. DAL his likely landing spot.
Still a good defender.
I read somewhere that NYK might buyout Duke Ellington. But unclear why.
Why not?
Seems decision has been made on his team option.
Might be wiser to keep his team option in case we want to package him and portis for someone in the offseason.

Would we have been allowed to extend and trade him?
No. We didn't have that option.

« on: February 08, 2020, 08:48:55 PM »It was a terrific trade for GS. They got a guy (former #1 blah blah blah) who is clearly a better fit than Russell would be when Steph and Klay both return. Wiggins is no KD, but with the Splash Bros, Draymond, and Wiggy they're loaded once more. Oh yeah, they also get a probably lotto pick. Amazing. KD was going to leave for nothing, and they get a lotto pick and Wiggins out of it.
KD?
KD -> DLo -> Wiggins
