Jordan says the Knicks are out so...
Robin Lopez has committed to the Knicks and will sign with them unless DeAndre Jordan chooses the Knicks.
In other words, Lopez is on the Knicks. While Lopez won't come cheap, he is actually a very good fit with them. He ranked third in the NBA for offensive rebounds in the 2013-14 season, he doesn't have many fouling issues, he's been very healthy in his career and he'll have a low usage rate on offense, which Carmelo Anthony will like. Lopez did have a down year in 2014-15, but he could wind up being a mid-round guy in standard leagues next season.

Meant 2/20.
Afflalo, Lopez, Porzingis and Grant is a nice influx of talent, with some money left to spend if they so choose.
Lopez
Melo
KD
Afflalo if he opts in
Grant
Sixth man is Porzingis
If everybody works out I think this is a very good team. We would need to add depth but I definitely think having Lopez and Afflalo makes it more enticing. We still have a decent chunk of change to get another solid starter/rotational player. Players are not coming here because they don't see the big picture and we lack talent. Gettin Afflalo and Lopez not only fills these holes on the team but it does so with solid players on reasonable deals while still leaving us open to financial flexibility next year too.
He also said 3/36 for Afflalo.

said it's 12-13 per so it's likely 3 for 36-39 or 4 for 48-52

Fair enough
Who would you rather have over the next 4 years and 52 mil:
Tyson Chandler or Robin Lopez?
The same people ripping the Knicks would be the same people ripping the Knicks giving Carroll 15 million a year...
Even the 2 fat kids on ESPN ripping the Knicks and yet the Lakers somehow get a pass..who the fuck are they going to sign?
Woj said Jordan is down to Clippers and Mavs.

Lopez no brainer and yes on KOQ!!!
Oh helllllllll no. I never want to see Bargnani again.

I wonder if Phil doesn't try to bring back Bargnani for a bargain price as well for some offense at the 5 spot. Once healthy he actually had some nice games under Fisher
Oh helllllllll no. I never want to see Bargnani again.
If they could get him to sign at the veteran minimum I think he would be a nice addition to the offense. Take away the expectations and baggage of the big contract and trading away a pick to get him and who would be better for the minimum at that position at this point?
Sure that deal sucked but hopefully Jackson would make decisions going forward based on emotions from a previous administrations trades and look only at whether if able to sign him for the minimum helps them or not.
I like Nene but what are the details. If we do sign Lopez then can we even fit him under the cap. If we could, what would be the additional piece we get? How many years does he have left on his deal?
And what price tag?
New York Knicks will meet with former 2011 No. 2 overall pick Derrick Williams today, a league source tells Sheridan Hoops.
What are you talking about?
How much can he give us at the 3?

The Wolves will use a good chunk of their $6 million-ish mid-level exception an annual salary exception granted to teams over the salary cap to sign Bjelica, who is from Serbia but has played in Spain and Turkey most recently.
Dan I think his contract was up.I don't think there was a buyout

isn't happening. Wolves helped pay his buyout so they could sign

No. He had an opt out/buyout.
