Knicks thinking big with meetings with Greg Monroe tonight, DeAndre Jordan Wednesday & LaMarcus Aldridge on Thursday. No Kevin Love meeting.
Davis contract extension does not begin until the 2016/17 season, first year that the cap jumps. Max contract values will jump with it. The way I've seen the Davis deal reported is that he has "agreed to framework", so I think they estimate that to be the value of his max under the new tv contracts. Guys with more service time will even have bigger maxes than that

Saw that Lakers brass are on way to Washington DC to meet with Monroe and Falk after Phil had first crack
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.
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.
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
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
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.

Goran Dragic has reached agreement on a five-year, $90 million deal with the Miami Heat, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
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.
@ESPNSteinLine Hearing Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler is leaning strongly toward taking the five-year, $90 mil max Chicago offered as opposed to shorter deal."
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.
Regardless, at least 5 more years before Davis can become a Bull, thankfully

Has opt out 2020
Sources to @SeanDeveney: Patrick Beverley and the Knicks have mutual 'major interest
Hard to believe they wont since they are meeting right now in DC...
I disagree i like Beverly depending on Contract...still young, good defender, can hit the open 3..

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

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.

NYTimes had a decent primer on the triangle earlier this month.
