Luca Vildoza to Knicks on four-year, $13.6 million deal

Luca Vildoza, an Argentinian guard with Baskonia of the Spanish ACB League, has agreed in principle to a four-year, $13.6 million deal with the New York Knicks, his agent, Alex Saratsis of Octagon Sports, told ESPN. – via Adrian Wojnarowski @ ESPN

Vildoza, one of the premier playmakers in Europe, will fly to New York once he clears the immigration process. There’s no clear timetable on his arrival this season, based upon immigration, physicals and protocols.

The Knicks had the salary cap space and roster spot to get ahead of summer free agency and secure Vildoza now. Vildoza, 25, would’ve been one of the top available free agent point guards in the 2021 summer marketplace.

Three non-guaranteed years on the contract give the Knicks the chance to evaluate Vildoza in the Olympics, summer league and training camp before committing to a full guarantee on next season. – via Adrian Wojnarowski @ ESPN

Scan the fucking globe for these guys!

Should have taken Mike James.  But Frank spot was too protected

Les' siggy:

"Let me tell you how it started,
Way back then,
When Big Bad Zach was "too black" for him!
posse, thug, wilding, that's what we heard
...pure Central Park 5 treatment"


It brings back memories of Les musing about how great Zach was...

Rivers will probably have something to do with the Nuggets getting knocked out a round early this season.

Glad that’s behind us. Time to take it out on Phoenix who’ll be pissed after losing to the fucking Hawks.

That was a wake-up call.

Also some truly terrible officiating all game.

The ref called that ball out of bounds off Randle?  She was right there and saw something that clearly did not happen.

I'm not going to worry about $4M.  And it's always good to dig up players wherever you can.  Knix have a nice history of that with Starks and Mason.

Best Euro-PG's in NBA history?
1. Tony Parker excelled, but came over very young, at 19 I believe, and played his whole career with an all-time great and a stable great organization.
2. Goran Dragic
3. Jose Calderon a solid smart PG (weak defender).
4. Ricky "Average" Rubio
5. Dennis Schroder

After that a lot of Vassilis Spanoulis, Sergio Rodriguez, etc.
Recently Milos Teodosic was proclaimed a passing wizard and Euro-genius.
managed 60 NBA games for LAC.
Knix had their own Milos (Vujanic) who was our PG of the future which never came.

12   31   26   28   
   
34   30   25   24   

Isn't that quarter by quarter tally bizarre. 

Jokic simply steamrolled us in the first quarter, and Campazzo was a MF [9 rebounds, more than any other Knick, to go with 16 points, 4 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks] which ended with us down by 22, and could never come back from it, even though through quarters 2-3-4 we were 85-79. 

Julius, RJ and Alec a combined 9-35 [though RJ was 4-8 from trey]. 

APROS POS OF NOTHING, 1: Watching Michael Porter I was struck by the contrasting strategems of the Nuggets and the Mills/Fizdale braintrust.  Denver willing to invest two summers and an entire regular season in getting Porter healthy, while we force fed Knox minutes in our tanking season, when we could've committed more fully to tanking and to developing a prospect.  I was pulling for Mikal Bridges in that draft, though I was taken by Knox's potential.  Now three years down the line both Bridges and Porter are front line players, and Kevin is in limbo. 

Oh well. 

APROS POS OF NOTHING, 1: Think Austin Rivers was psyched [6-9 from three].  Good for him.

Aside from Toppin not playing the allotted minutes many of you had for him - and not being that swift force to run roughshod immediately through the league (again, so wishful you all were), Toppin has been fine

48% FG
73% FT

Just fine for a rookie with a short camp

Also

More assists than turnovers

More steals+blocks than turnovers

BULLISH on Toppin - yes.  And we have a tough call coming up with Randle, who has priced himself into a very high bracket.

I would think playing them more together, seeing if it works, might be in order.  But Knicks are in the "win as many games as we can" phase - which doesnt leave room for experiment
