Beal

Did we suggest that Timmy and Beal were at the same level?

My recollection is more along the lines of not wanting to send our starting center and PG to entertain a Hardaway-Beal back court. 

But point taken.

Or not. 

Berman in today's POST concocted something where we traded Frank, Dotson, Lee, our 2020 #1 and some #2s for Wall. 

I rather fancy Dotson.  He is coming on strong, is a robust 6'6", plays tough D and has been, as Clyde put it, a FLAMETHROWER of late. 

DD responded to Fizz's time out by playing as h never wants to see the pine again. 

Trier in a bit of a funk, as teams prepare for him. 

Timmy a yoyo. 

As for Mitchell, Vonleh and Kanter were both effective.

---Knicks Rumors: NYK Believed to Be Collecting Assets for Possible John Wall Trade---

More typical Dolan. Kill the cap and trade away choices for a diva name? Rebuild season must really irk him.

Should disprove the notion that THjr and BEAL are at the same level.   

Has this been stated somewhere?

Wall has a horrible upcoming contract.
I saw one article claiming that Wall had the worst contract in the NBofA.

Otherwise I do recall at least one poster saying that Hardaway is a gifted, elite scorer.  Beal is better than that?

Like Wall, for sure, but once again, while he may [or may not] be the peak of his career, turned 28 in September...surely an electrifying player, but dig: $38,150,000  $41,202,000  $44,254,000  $47,306,000 through the summer of 2023. 

Seriously. 

No

Thank

U

A horrible offer, Kiid? 

Sheeet, just matching numbers on his current salary of 19 million.  Frank, DD, Lee, a #1? 

Wiz are not going to do any better than THAT, not with the numbers coming beginning in the summer of 2019.  Would save a lot of money.  You kidding?  And what would your offer be?

Bullsh×t

The number one is like a 16-20 pick.

I don't have an offer.  But Mudiay would surely be in it.

Like the man said - its a shi t contract.

Doesn't give me confidence at all that Perry is even discussing it.

All in for KD.  And Plan B, C, D after that.

Give up a 1st rounder for the honor of paying Wall $40M per year?
I wouldn't.

I don't even know if I like Wall as a player.
Is he any kind of leader?  Do his teams win?
And he's not Mr. Durable.

Why would the Knix win more with Wall than the Wizards have?
There's a reason he's likely available.
Watch the last 3 mins of the Knick-Wiz game again and get back to me ...

You pay a guy $40M to lose in the 1st or 2nd round?

Last 5 years:
2017-18  43-39 .524   Lost E. Conf. 1st Rnd.   8th seed
2016-17  49-33 .598   Lost E. Conf. Semis      4th seed
2015-16  41-41 .500   Missed Playoffs            10th seed
2014-15  46-36 .561   Lost E. Conf. Semis      5th seed
2013-14  44-38 .537   Lost E. Conf. Semis      5th seed

That's Wall-Beal-Porter (Morris-Gortat)
One good year (one Home playoff series) and a bunch of decent/okay years.  44, 41, 43 wins and a losing record so far this year.
A .500 record and missed the playoffs?
With an all-star backcourt?
Unimpressive.  Underachieving.

How do you build a team around Wall?
You'd think you want some shooters and defenders.
Beal and Porter hit 3's and defend.
Gortat and Morris defend and board.
Didn't work out that well.

I really don't know how you construct a contending team around Wall.
Is there just a ceiling on a Wall-led team?
Can Wall actually lead a team?
I'm not paying $160M to find out.
