I’m making an exception offer to Semi Ojeleye next year when he’s a UFA & give an Austin Rivers type offer for Taco. We’ve also got to extend Mitch.

Mitch Noel Taco
Randle Obi Semi
Bullock Burks
Barrett
Quickley Rose

Add three rookies and one more free agent, heat and stir.

We could certainly use a 3&D SF, especially one who can toggle between both F spots.

Ojeleye is interesting.  His given name is Jesusemilore.
His shooting %'s are really poor so far this year.

Anyone have a lost of UFA's and RFA's for next season?

LaMelo is 21/40 on 3's in his last 6 games.
Up to 36% on the season.
Putting up some real nice numbers across the board.

Zach gonna be looking for a near-max deal.
You want to pay him $25M - $27M a year?


I think you make the deal for what it is worth now

When it comes to re-signing, THEN is when you make a judgment.  Sign and trade also on the table, I'd think if you do not agree with the player's reps on his $$ value - or if you simply want to part company.

The 19 mil he makes now is a pretty solid number to hold for next year's roster, given what the player will give you.

My guess is in a room of ten Knicks higher ups when the question is asked - "So, Levine - are we interested?" - you get TEN "Absolutely".

Deal, as most are - is price determinant.

Shouldnt we be looking at the rest of their roster?

The Brooklyn Nets have signed free agent forward Noah Vonleh. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released. – via NBA.com

I was just thinking "We could use this dude again" and looking up where he was playing.

Why do you think we need Vonleh?  Would you be looking for him to take the Toppin minutes?

Markanen is a nice player.
Maybe if he has another season of being dinged up and erratic, he could become available.  be a nice fit on NYK.

As for FA's:
Rich Holmes only makes $5M?  A bargain.  Not much of a defender, but he's hustles and bangs and is everywhere.  I really enjoy his game/effort level.

Wonder how much Theis will get(?)

I didn't realize Torrey Craig was already 30.  Joined the NBA at 27.

Bjelica?  Jabari?
Can't say I'm excited about either.

Uber is having a rough season so far.  And he's more of a driver and cutter than 3-pointer.  So not really what we need.  He's really been off on everything including finishes, where he misses layups and even dunks regularly.   Not sure what's up with him.

Otto Porter.
Why isn't this guy more impactful?  Seems to have the tools.
Health issues apparently.
Interesting for his 3&D-ness

PJ Tuck is 36.
James Johnson 34.

Batum just 32.

Caruso is a more consistent Au Rivers.  Wonder how much he'll get.

I don't know Jerome Robinson or Kablenge.

I've watched Giles a bit this year, and he's very inconsistent and his confidence comes and goes.  Hands are suspect.  Still just 23, but a tease and kind of frustrating.

We could use another F in case Uncle Julius misses some games.

Though I'd be fine just running ObiT and slotting Knox into the rotation.  Not like we're going for a title.

So indications are Payton will be dangled in deal.

I would expect us to look to package him with a pick to get a player rather than just deal Elf FOR a pick

I think a straight Rose in, Payton out swap is unwise.

Re. Next year FA

Tucker did stand out to me as a guy who could help

I didn't consider the top 3 current earners at forward, PORTER, ALDRIDGE and OUBRE

Gary Trent Jr (22yrs old, 6'5", 14pt per game 43.6% 3pt) is a RFA and the over-the-cap Blazers are going to have to think hard about matching any offer.

All of that music changed my life.

And I had such a crush on Mary Wilson, like a cool breeze on a clear summer day.
