Without a 1 in 2016, I don't like it. It underscores the depth of the hole they are in.
They might have a 1 by 16.
It won't be the high lottery pick they need.
Sorry, others can disagree but this is ridiculous:
"The Knicks will reportedly commit $12 million-to-$13 million a year to Lopez"
In my opinion, the franchise is still a mess.
I still believe in "knows how to play" theory and that those kind of players can be found outside the lottery. Though we do need Zinger to hit his ceiling and Grant to be a bad ass.
It's a bad situation that we traded our pick next year and are as bad as we are...saying that, no top talent is coming here to try and make us NOT be a bottom 5 team, so if Lopez is the best we can get, then I'll take it.
Every trade of a #1 pick should have a top 5 protection. If a team is that bad to finish that low, they deserve the pick. The Knicks are the only team that does not have protection on traded # 1's cause the GM's know they will not be here to deal with that situation.
It's Lsyden level bad at this price.
Lawyer in two years it will be a bargain, In this market you have to pay. I like the move and our offseason overall
$50+ million for Lopez? I disagree, Michael. He is a journeyman. Same with Affalo
I think they are being run into the ground.
But no more negative posts from me. I am done with them unless I am proved wrong.
Lawyer while I agree they are not the sexy moves, they have to start someplace, this is not phill's fault, so I'm willing to cut him some slack. we were never getting any of the big names anyway.
Last Knick post; I would have saved the money, Michael. Small deals, ok. Big deals for fungible players, no
He did the-sign Melo, btw.
I like our draft/free agent moves. I think the Knicks will have a much better record next year. That is not saying much but after Calderon leaves and the increase in salary cap, we could entice a great player to join in the coming years.
When the cap raises next year, this deal comes out to about 9.5 per, which I'm fine with. It's about time we build a team and not sign players just to appease the media regardless of their fit. This is the first step, we will have 30mil in cap next off season -- we are building something, this isn't an overnight process. I see that we aren't taking the shortcuts that have plagued our previous regimes and am optimistic that we are on the right path.
Given that the cap is going to explode, it really doesn't bother me. Also, the Lakers and Clippers would have been after him and driven the price up higher.
