Hoopshype has Washington as a vet minimum deal, but the latest thing I saw had said it was unclear whether he had signed for a vet minimum deal or an exhibit 10 contract garnering him more money if he sticks around for our GLeague squad.

The later makes more sense to me.

Let me know if you have better information on this.

70 mil over four years is not outrageous for Hart. The back end, 58 over three, is only Fournier money. If he stays in the rotation it is already an upgrade.

Looking for Knicks to lock in IQ next.

Not really seeing an escape hatch for Fournier.

Spurs make sense, and would gladly take back McDermott's ending deal.

Not sure what the holdup is, or why Knickers are reportedly unwilling to attach some second rounders.

Meanwhile...

Charlotte?  Washington?  Oubre.  Not advocating for them.  Just curious why Hornets are dilly dalling.

Johnson and Mourning was the last time the Hornets really did anything else.

Evan is now a bum with a bum ankle. We either keep him around for salary ballast in a potential deal or buy him out at this point.

Don't really see an exit strategy for EVAN.  Buy out?  Mmmm.  More like a  KEMBA strategy...on ice through February.  Buy out?  Not unless a significant amount of money on the table. 

Extending IQ next up.

Then on to the fall.

🏆🌹🏆

SF: Barrett and Hart

SG: Grimes and DiVincenzo

PG: Brunson, Quickley, McBride

Grimes can  double at SF.

Quickley can double at SG.

DiVicenzo can double at PG.

That makes us 3-Deep at SF, SG, PG

Plus, Thibs won't hesitate to deploy Hart as a small ball  PF, in lieu of Sims or Roby.

Fournier is utterly fucked.

Again San Antonio.

Has two former Knicks.

Doug McDermott and Reggie Bullock.

I could see Thibs liking  Bullock and McBride as break in case of fire players if a rotation player goes down.

Both play DEFENSE.

Who is going to trade for Evan, when they can simply wait for a buyout or the waiver wire.

Fournier is fucked

Fournier is making close to 19 million dollars for once having shot the basketball well. He is quite far from fucked, arriving at the end of his generational wealth contract courtesy of the Knicks.

He has tons of options. None of them involve garnering much playing time on the Knicks this season. It may be a bummer for him but somehow he will pull through.

Toss in a tourney game when the nova corps were all together and see if there are any offensive wrinkles you would like to see the Knicks employ.

We have sixty percent of the ball handling personnel from that squad so we might could work it in. Just sayin.

Well, Spain was less tough because their main PG, Ricky Rubio, decided to retire - or retire temporarily to take care of his mental health.

Still a good team though.

Jalen Brunson had 22 points on 9 of 9 shooting with 4 assists to lead the US to a 98-88 exhibition win over Spain.

Meanwhile, RJ Barrett also dazzled for Canada in a near-perfect performance with 31 points on 13 of 14 shooting with 4 of 4 from 3PT to lead the Canadians in a 113-112 OT win over Germany..

Don't want to get too giddy.

Still, two of our big three maturing and getting better, might be considred encouraging.

Even for the Dawg Pounder
