I disagree i like Beverly depending on Contract...still young, good defender, can hit the open 3..
Beverley's stats

indicate he's had trouble as a shooter, career .36 from 3, and only .4 from the field.

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/1/2015 1:20 am : link
he's not a player who can actually run an offense. Playing next to Harden is the only reason he's a starter. Would be a bad signing on the Knicks imo.

After Knicks had sitdown with Greg Monroe in DC shortly after midnight, Milwaukee got its audience with Monroe ... starting at around 2 AM
And Lakers are coming to meet with him too

I hope Aldridge doesn't end up with LAL

Looks like contracts for the nets

Lopez 3 and 60 with an opt out and protections against further injury for the team
Thad young 4 and 50

Nothing unexpected- they are basically done until next year unless they find someone to take on deron - not likely

This. He's a good fit on a team with a dominant backcourt ball handler, otherwise he's really just a 3+D player whose 3 isn't all that great and whose defensive versatility is limited by his lack of ideal size.
Annual reminder that Tommy Dee is a bad source.

The triangle doesn't need a ball dominant PG.

And Phil has never had a team with one.
The Rockets can match anything offered for Beverly  
giantsfan44ab : 7/1/2015 9:03 am : link
so unless we are offering $7-8+, we are just going to get our money locked into a player who is more of a luxury than a necessity for us at this point.

He had a shooting guards that played the point. Kobe and Jordan. I can't stand this triangle offense and what it needs. Nobody knows what the f it needs besides a 3 point shooter and a passing big who can play with his back to basket. It's a failed system that's why nobody uses it. It's a ridiculous notion to find players to fit the triangle when the second Phil leaves the triangle leaves the nba forever
Atlanta, Washington, San Antonio, and Golden State make use  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/1/2015 9:11 am : link
of Triangle concepts. It's part of the sport.

And they're not just collecting players that fit into the Triangle.

Porzingis isn't a back-to-the-basket, low post big and probably never will be.

The triangle is a fancy word for  
Tuckrule : 7/1/2015 9:17 am : link
Spacing. That's what it is. Monroe is not a triangle player if we are going by the real definition of a triangle offense. I would grab Monroe which seems like we will and obviously take green over afflafo and that would be a nice offseason. This is a 2 year rebuild like we all know
I think that 90% of the people that talk about the triangle  
blueblood : 7/1/2015 9:17 am : link
dont know a thing about the triangle..
while obviously not on the Kobe/Jordan level  
giants#1 : 7/1/2015 9:18 am : link
Melo is a similar style player to them and would fill that role.

And like any "system", the triangle needs good players to work. If the Knicks sign good (hopefully young) players, they'll be fine whether running the triangle or not.

Pretty interesting. Its a great fit in Orlando, but Atlanta just made the Eastern Conference. Have to feel bad for them, nothing ever breaks their way.

like the move for the Hawk. The Spurs did this move to get LMA and I hope LMA blows them off.
Triangle isn't THAT much different than the pace and space  
Section331 : 7/1/2015 12:16 pm : link
stuff many teams run. And Phil hasn't had ball-dominant PG's because he had 2 of the best perimeter players in NBA history for his entire coaching career. You probably don't want a ball-dominant PG because you have Carmelo, not because you're playing the triangle.
Question about this years F/A Knicks  
Bleedin Blue : 7/1/2015 12:20 pm : link
We have a lot of cap room and it will get larger in 2016. My question is why would we go on a spending spree this year, when all the real difference makers will be F/A's next year?? There's also been talk about Monroe, he's young, will command big contract ,and plays Porzingas' position. Why did we draft Porzingas if we're going after Monroe hard.???

It you can't land mid level talent when you have ample cap space it may suggest that you will serious trouble landing big stars the following year.

Monroe is best suited at the 5 and Porzingis is a 4.

I thought he was LA's second choice after Love, and LA might be LMA's second choice after the Spurs. Haven't talked to my boy in some time, he's busy with website ventures and the LA Times.

Yeah I know, but he was apparently all about the Lakers in recent years. Playing with Lebron probably has enough power to reverse course.
Isn't the LMA to Spurs all but done?

They did, that's why Blazers and their fans are annoyed. No one is accusing them of tampering but it is more than evident that the Spurs had a bit of a head start with LMA. It happens.

He played at UCLA for one year. He's not from LA. This whole connection to LA thing has been completely overblown for years.
Thanks for the explanations  
Bleedin Blue : 7/1/2015 5:13 pm : link
I was just wondering why we would commit possibly half of the available money now to possibly one body when we are going to need more than one. Thank you for the position explanation between Porzingis and Monroe!

Why would him playing at UCLA matter to Lakers brass? They should be concerned about one thing and one thing only, getting the better player, and i dont think anyone can argue Love is better. Getting a favorite son of LA doesn't matter to Mitch Kupchak, nor should it.

Could see why they'd think that but teams make gutsy decisions like that a lot. Lakers did that one year with Lamar Odom to free space for a trade for Paul I think. Rockets did that last year with Asik and Lin to go after Chris Bosh.

About a year ago I was told they coveted Love, and planned to make a pitch for him the first chance they got. That was backed up by Larry Coon. Like I said, haven't talked to the friend in awhile and it's possible LMA moved ahead of Love, can't say either way for certain.
