Enjoying the GLeague Ignite team. Amir Johnson, Jack, and Bobby Brown are their vets. Their kids are excellent and angling for this upcoming draft.

Knix Trivia:
What is Clyde's MSG announcing salary?

[lesterluv]

That I don't know, but I do know that he has a LIFETIME contract with Puma....

[bodiddley]

The info I saw reported that Clyde makes $4.5M announcing for MSG.
Which can buy quite a few bizarre suits.  And plenty of trees for his Virgin Island estate.

So Clyde makes more than 2 Knick starters --  Bullox $4.2M & Mitch a mere $1.7M, and nearly the same as a 3rd starter (ELF = $4.77M)

CLyde makes more than Mitch and Quicks combined.
Frazier pockets roughly the same as Kevin Knox ($4.59M), and a little less than Toppin ($4.86M).

Clyde's current broadcast salary is probably more than he earned in his entire 13 year playing career.  It seems Clyde made 300K at his peak (?)

This is tantalizing from a talk Clyde gave at an accounting society:

Only three younger players have ever come to him for advice during his 30 years of broadcasting, he noted, in part because he has to keep some distance so he can report on them objectively for viewers. But he worries they may need financial advice if they want to hold onto their earnings when their playing days are over.

But it doesn't say which 3 players!
Of course Clyde is old school and wants to remain objective, which is more the exception than the rule for team broadcasters who tend to be homers.

Anyway it's good that the Knix/MSG take good care of Clyde and pay him well.

I once asked Clyde and Kenny Smith why Walt didnt get any national gigs.

Now I know why.  No need.

(and being busy as a restauranteur, as well, I'd think)

Now THIS was interesting. 

Not sure that I believe it, but hey....

The Dallas Mavericks are purportedly making the rounds exploring what might be, MIGHT BE, inquiries round the league as to what the market might be for Kristaps Porzingis. 

Not sure he is the optimum fit to Luka. 

Among other things, there is a sense that he cannot defend anyone. 

All things being equal, be one hell of a contract for anyone to take on.   

Anyway, does one believe this?

Multiple reports from Monday and Tuesday linked Dallas to having quiet discussions feeling out possible trade partners for Porzingis. However, Mavs owner Mark Cuban has outright denied those claims. – via SportsDay Staff @ Dallas Morning News

Those comments did not sit well with Cuban who said the Mavericks weren’t happy that there was a “supposed ‘Western Conference exec’ ripping on one of our players.” “I think they just used it as a way to put out there what they think of KP,” Cuban said. – via SportsDay Staff @ Dallas Morning News

$29,467,800   $31,650,600   $33,833,400   $36,016,200

The Dallas Mavericks have reached out to the Golden State Warriors to gauge interest in a Kristaps Porzingis trade, sources tell SNY’s Ian Begley. Porzingis, 25, has had an up-and-down tenure in Dallas, showing flashes of offensive brilliance but dealing with injury issues and questions about his defense. – via SportsNet New York

GSW owns Minny's #1 (protected 1-3 in 2021 unprotected in 2022).   They could deal Wiggins and Minny's pick for KP.

Draymond Green would be a much better fit, but salaries probably don’t match, and why would GS do it? Last I checked, they ain’t crazy.

You do that if you are GS?

Speaking of the draft, check out the Thundering Herd if you get the chance.

Projected at 16th pick.  A 21 year old junior who can fill it.

They don't need another rookie and it looks like the pick won't convey til 2022.  They need another core piece to compete for another ring while they still have Prime Steph.  As far as 3rd bananas go KP makes a better one offensively than Wiggins or Draymond.  Wiseman, Green, KP, Klay, Steph.  That's a complete lineup.  Just need to furnish the bench.

Draymond Green would be a much better fit, but salaries probably don’t match, and why would GS do it? Last I checked, they ain’t crazy.

Green only fits with GS.  His attitude and play don't befit that of a #2.  He would also clash with Carlisle.  Kerr keeps him in check.

But defends and provides assists to his teammates, while KP is a fragile prima donna.

Great news and well deserved!
