NFT: Knicks Free Agency

Earl the goat : 6/27/2016 8:56 pm
If KD doesn't sign why not go after a combo of

Bismarck Biyombo and Fournier / Crabbe
Instead of pursuing Noah and Howard who are going to come a lot more expensive
BB is a relentless defender rebounder and shot blocker. Younger and cheaper than above and allows them to pursue a wing like Fournier or Crabbe

BB will do all the dirty work on the defensive end and set the punishing picks for DRose He doesn't need the ball and allows KP and Melo freedom on the offensive end

BB. Center
KP power forward
Melo small forward
Crabbe/ Fournier SG
Derrick Rose PG

Also keeps more cap space available for 2017. I.E. Westbrook

According to Windhorst wade and heat have not been able to find common ground on a deal and he has let it be known he will be open to other offers...not really a fit with rose but still interesting

According to woj Duncan is picking up his option so spurs are pretty much out of the Durant sweepstakes


Maybe marks will work with the Spurs and trade them jack for a salary and an asset - they can them wave jack

Doesn't get them anywhere near enough money
Signing anyone especially someone

like Noah for multiple years is so short sighted. Especially after the Rose trade who is probably a one year hope it works out deal. Next year is the time to have max cap space to try and pull a Miami and bring in two studs to join Melo and hopefully and difference maker in KP. This Noah and Batum, etc. nonsense gets them to the playoffs, but still so far from a championship. Build something that can be elite otherwise it's just another few playoff games to line Dolan's pockets.
Wade is just posturing to get another fat and probably overpaid deal  
Ten Ton Hammer : 6/28/2016 10:20 pm : link
from Miami. It's becoming an annual ritual. He threatens to leave town because he feels disrespected, the Heat want to pay him what he's actually worth instead of paying him for past accomplishments, but also don't want to let the old hometown star leave. There will be twitter jabbing and rumors, and eventually Riley will overpay to keep him.
Wade is t going to go just anywhere  
Italianju : 6/28/2016 10:28 pm : link
So I don't know what his options are. He will end up back in Miami. That said if whiteside leaves I don't see Miami as being very good but they will just overpay to keep him.
I agree I don't think he goes anywhers  
nygiants16 : 6/28/2016 10:46 pm : link
But miami is in a weird spot, do they just pay wade and whiteside and go into next season with the same team sans deng...

Yup. Which is one of the reasons I see the top seeds in the east wide open. Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta and Toronto all have a lot to lose and little to gain this offseason.
Yea

I don't buy Wade would go anywhere.
I wouldn't mind wade  
Carl in CT : 6/29/2016 8:14 am : link
And Noah on short 1 and 1 deals. (We would need creative math). Assuming no KD.
According to LeBatard, who's show I listen to daily  
Ten Ton Hammer : 6/29/2016 8:33 am : link
The Heat don't value Whiteside as a max player, and they're worried he might check out mentally once he gets paid. But they're fully aware he's going to get maximum offers from outside, and they might be forced to.
not the same player  
djm : 6/29/2016 10:01 am : link
but Whiteside has a bit of a Rodman type aura about him. Teams will be leery of him but the right fit could see his career reach borderline legendary status while the wrong place could see him sink to pretty low levels. Rodman was either released or traded for little when he was a Spur while he was irreplaceable on the Bulls...
and Pistons
