OT: NBA Discussion Thread: Part III

[Leetch3]

is there draft pick compensation if they don't match?

 

[sbjnyc]

The knicks should get a first as compensation for stupidity but other than that there isn't any.

 

[klingsor]

And Tim's agent settles for $1 million less than Noah.

What a sport.

Interesting KNicks sign Tim Hardaway Jr to a 4 yr 71m offer sheet

Lol Knicks

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Really strange and probably bad deal, but THjr was more efficient than Dion Waiters, who just got a 52 million dollar deal with 15 mil per year (i think i'm close on the terms here.)

They need offense, especially with Frank being a defensive octopus moreso than a 20 point threat, so i'd like THjr on the team. Just leave it to the Knicks to do it it in the most awkward and embarrassing way possible.

 

[n8]

the Knicks are beyond comically terrible at this point.

 

[surf]

Knicks must be banking he turns into a steady 20 point a night guard with great defense..He´s only 24 and the contracts being handed out are beyond insane and so is this one but i will root for him if he becomes a Knick

 

[Hunter Gathers]

The Timmah signing is actually pretty OK. The way it all went down (like some flat circle) is sorta nuts, though.

It boils down to Mills liking a player Phil didnt. I thought THJr had too short a leash. Was a decent building block for a bad team, left and had a breakout season.

At least he'll contribute. The Noah deal is the big poison pill.

No it's not ok. It's a joke.

So apparently Melo to Houston may be happening soon?

 

[RangerBlues]

The team has no shot of contending with or without this player.
They like this player.
They want this player.
Who cares about the $$$
What?
They overpaid they guy.
God bless him.
Just play hard
And take Dolans money.
And play hard.

how with what the Rockets just paid Harden??? my god the NBA is a massive joke.

Apparently they would need to take back "Anderson" who makes 20 mill a year for 3 years.

****ing great.

 

[Hire Sather]

Phil turned Melo face

Adrian Wojnarowski ✔ @wojespn
Sources: Knicks, Rockets working on Carmelo Anthony trade scenarios that include four-team deals. Sides motivated but no agreement imminent.


Peter Vecsey ✔ @PeterVecsey1
Don't pretend 2B wired anymore. Still, I am told Melo-Rockets trade holdup is D'Antoni. Does not want him. Melo knows! It'll happen anyway!

LOL

 

[GordonGecko]

Melo = natural born loser, just hope Rockets push this through. They will have to unload the 20M Andersen contract on someone and it's not going to be the Knicks

 

[Fugazy]

I want them to trade Melo so badly. They need to move on from him and get some picks in return.

 

[Mac n Gs]

It's best for the Knicks. Let them get their younger guys more playing time under Hornacek's system and then be in position for a good draft pick next year.

As a side note, Mills is ****ing awful at contract negotiation.

And a total coward, he didn't have the balls to show up at the introduction presser for H Jr.

Already off to a promising start

Anyone know anything about the new knicks GM? Perry?

 

[sbjnyc]

Does this mean Mills got promoted or fired or reassigned?

 

[mrmovies779]

he is very highly thought of around the league with a great nose for young talent.This is a terrific move by the Knicks.Maybe their is hope for them afterall.
