Let's go back to the videotape... (no idea if I posted this here)

Called that he'd get around $5m a year:

Enes Kanter is finalizing two-year deal with the Celtics worth $10 million, league sources tell SNY. Player option in Year 2.

Guess I have a right to be arrogant too then

Zach Lowe loves to overrate Durant.  Keeps pushing this idea that KD was on pace to be a Top 10 all-time player.
I'll take Wilt, Russ, Kareem in there.
Jordan, Magic, Bird
LeBJ, Oscar.

Only two spots left.
Duncan, Olajuwon probably.

Durant has been a terrific scorer.  But was a late-game bungler for OKC.  Couldn't win enough with Westbrook.  Didn't play D until he got to GS.  Carpet-bagged two titles, joining a dynasty in progress.

Next 10:
After that, I'd take Kobe and Shaq over Durant.  And Jerry West.  Definitely Dr. J if you count his ABA exploits (over 30K in points then).
Probably Garnett, Karl Malone, maybe Moses.  Was Durant better than Wade?  Pippen?

That's 19.  So Durant might have been able to get into my Top 20 if he didn't get injured . . . And Elgin Baylor, Havlicek, David Robinson might have something to say about that.

Why Russell and Kareem over Durant?

Writing on the wall for Frankie?

2 more years of rumours...

"All in for 2010..."
"All in for 2019..."
"All in for 2021..."

hahaaaaaaa

Kemba to Enes - yep

[lesterluv]

our summer...50 MILLION $$$ IN SECOND TIER POWER FORWARDS....

Please speak in per year terms

lol..that IS per year actually, rounded ..

* who was it who called PF the least important position in basketball today? Bo? Yeah, prob...

[kiidcarter8]

Can someone explain the Ellington pick up?

We got Ellington?  I'd say getting to 15 players is the reason

Former bigtime forum whipping boy - could KCP be far behind?

heh

Has shot it well of late.

41/38/85 for career

So Mr. No Place In The Modern game goes from saving season of w. conference finalist to e. conference contender, gotta give Ike credit for even having the balls to mention his man.


*ADDENDUM A: actually, let's leave extirpated, thousandXcooked, dessicated horses in their graves

*I like what Celts, Philly, Nets have all done, a lot. Let's see where Raptors are at. Seen a heck of a lot of KaWhy Not? billboards off the highway here in SoCal

*Like I say, per the BELOW post, see addendum A ABOVE. His hundred thousand posts blooming flowers about the man were about place in game, not contract size...best off leaving that segment of your commentating career dead, prez.

*Lol, lol, really is killing me tho'...using a DOLAN-SIGNED CONTRACT as  evidence for...what?... If prez didn't exist we would have to invent him too.

Yet, a 33 year old Taj Gibson gets 5m more a year than him. Hmmm....

[kiidcarter8]

You preferred Kanter?

[kiidcarter8]

My bad on the PG thing

I see we added Payton.  Cool.

Fiz likes Allen.  Should be interesting.

[bankshot1]

So the Turkish Terror to Boston.

Not my first choice, but the buffet is kind of picked over today.

He can board and give 6 fouls in the low-post

[facilitatorn]

We have just enough money and space left for a tall plate of Chop Suey.

As is

Mitch Portis
Randle Taj Ignas
Knox Bullock Frank
Barrett Dotson Ellington
Payton DJS Trier

Training camp will have fun positional battles, especially at PG and C. PF looks to be the most locked in.

D’Andre Jordan will be the most missed of the guys we had last year.

[thebizneverloses]

Knicks may have added too many guys that want time. Some vets I like adding. But this is a 30 win team - did we really need all of these guys, who will take minutes away from Ntilikina, Trier, Dotson and Brazdeikas (possibly all their minutes), plus possibly even DSJ and Knox and Mitch.

More troubling, had we not signed Ellington, Portis and Payton, not only would we have had more or less the same playoff seeding (maybe we'd be 13th instead of 11th) with more minutes for the yutes, but that empty cap space would have yielded a first rounder from OKC, or possibly assets from Charlotte.

This was short-sighted. I like most of the players given the circumstances of nobody better wanting to come. I like that the deals have lots of team options (smart to pay lots of cash in exchange for that flexibility). There's just too many of them.

[thebizneverloses]

Jamal Murray got nearly $200 million. Mudiay is going to get the minimum, presumably. Kiid will still be convinced everyone in the NBA is wrong, and the two players are of equal value.
