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.

if he's being paid handsomely to do so) it would be surprising if other teams weren't offering similar terms. If and when this squad becomes a contender again, I hope he's around.
He's from LA, went to school in Stanford, and there were claims he didn't want to play in the same city as his brother (idk why) but still chose us over the Lakers
Where did you see claims he didn't want to play in the same city as his brother? There have been reports on the complete opposite. They are incredibly close and chose to go to the same college. Seems like Brook staying here played a huge role into why he wanted to be here IMO.
Patrick Beverley has agreed to a four-year, $25M deal to return to Houston, agent Kevin Bradbury tells Yahoo Sports.
They don't have bird rights so have to match using cap space or exceptions..with brewer back have to think they let him go
At least you got the younger guy with that money.
Exactly... I can't even complain.
Report: Rajon Rondo agrees to one-year, $9.5 million deal with Sacramento Kings
Pat Beverley's deal with Houston, I'm told: $ 18 million over 3 with a 5 million non guaranteed year in year 4.
Again, I like him so I'm not mad or anything. But let's be realistic here. We're paying the man a lot of money. That's why he chose us.
Does it really make sense for the Lakers to pay a B grade player that much money? What is he really going to do for them? Maybe they are taking the "we'll get em next time" approach.
Or maybe I'm dead wrong and both teams offered the same money and he chose the Knicks. But the fact that Ro Lo was the third big man signed and got the most money per year tells me that we won a bidding war.

Knicks sign Williams - ( New Window )
Solid price for him. Anyone think he starts?

I think as of now he starts, with the Zinger coming off the bench.
Damn, can't believe he didn't come to the Knicks with an offer of 11 million per year despite not even having 11 million in cap space
