Much rather sign a guy like Rondo  
Giantfan21 : 11/21/2020 1:09 pm : link
to run the point then selfish ballhog Payton for another year as Berman is suggesting can happen. I cannot watch 70 games of Payton/Randle dominating the offense while freezing out RJ and Toppin
so aa of this moment

This is...a bad roster. Hayward helps a lot at the wing. Moving Randle is also a must at this point.
Looks like CAA-Vision is paying dividends

This is a 15 to 20 win team.
Randle and DSJ are big time minus players they destroy continuity.
I don't want to see another Randle's spin move into 2 defender turnover again.
Wow

Hayward 4-120 to the Hornets. Glad we didn't touch that.
Charlotte?

30 million per is crazy but it works with Ball

the same contract he got at 27 coming off an all star season.

I think Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is a given right now
Lakers can only go to 12 million.
Looks like another non-competitive season.

I would take 2 years of Rozier at 19 million per if you throw in some picks or swap Cody Zeller and Rozier for Randle and a pick.
Make it happen

DanMetroMan : 11/21/2020 1:48 pm : link
Yes please

They do have the $27.1M expiring contract of Nic Batum to waive and stretch.

Not sure I would want a $9M cap hit over 3 seasons though.

Might be worth throwing in a future 1 to see if NYK would bite on the money.

I'd absolutely do that.

As long as it's not protected they are going to remain a lottery team for the next 3 years with the current line-up

Jon in NYC : 11/21/2020 1:54 pm : link
pretty sure we'll end up signing KCP for like 1 year 15 mil, and bring back Payton as well.
Very glad they didn't throw that kind of money at Hayward

I am on the phone with the Charlotte for Graham or Rozier and a salary dump.
They have some bad 1 year deals the Knicks can take on.
Graham, sure  
Greg from LI : 11/21/2020 2:05 pm : link
Rozier sucks. Don't like his game at all.

Being waived

Westbrook or Wall. As long as Randle and DSJ are in the package, I'm in.

I agree but you need to find a way to move Randle to free up Toppin to start
So starting 5
right now
Frank
RJ
Burks
Robinson
Toppin

If Frank could shoot it would be fine, put the ball in RJ hands and let him go to work with Toppin..Mitch catches the lobs
This is why a Randle for Conley swap makes sense

Cap space left?

2 teams with big space left are
Knicks 29 million
Hawks 25 million
Not sure why Knicks  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 11/21/2020 3:15 pm : link
Aren’t in on Bogdanovic. He’d be a nice fit. Seems like he’s waiting to see if anyone can beat the Hawks offer.

That’s a lot of money for Hayward. I hope he stays healthy but I think the Knicks made the right move passing on that.
Do the Hawks have an offer for Bogdan? They signed Dunn already  
Strahan91 : 11/21/2020 3:41 pm : link
and it looks like they're on the verge of signing Rondo too.
So  
Spider43 : 11/21/2020 3:45 pm : link
At the end of the day, we'll be the only ones left with any significant space. The only game in town to absorb those big PG numbers. Will Thibs finally crack a smile?

Knicks still have 35 million, most likely will sign burks with the room mid level
While a ton of different things can happen between now and the start  
Strahan91 : 11/21/2020 3:48 pm : link
of the season. If I were going to guess what the roster would look like it would be (not including the 2-way guys):

PG: Teague, Frank, DSJ
SG: Burks, Bullock, Quickley
SF: RJ, Melo, Iggy
PF: Randle, Toppin, Knox
C: Mitch, Ed Davis

The silver lining is we should be in pole position for the Cade Cunningham sweepstakes

Teague wants to go to a winner and said he doesn't mind coming off the bench.
In that case, yikes...

Barring an unexpected trade that's really all that's left on the market
I'm also not sure why  
Jon in NYC : 11/21/2020 4:07 pm : link
we haven't gone after Bogdanovic. On July 13th, 2017, he signed with the Kings. On July 14th, Perry signed from the Kings to the Knicks. Kinda weird timing, but you figure Perry had a say in bringing him over.
I wouldnt be shocked  
nygiants16 : 11/21/2020 4:12 pm : link
if Knicks were still in talks with Rockets for Westbrook, seems odd Knicks havnt signed anyone besides Burks, even someone to a bloated 1 year deal

They probably don't want Randle after signing Wood.
Only half kidding.
I wonder

if they could make an offer for Lonzo. Pelicans now have Kira Lewis and Eric Bledsoe. Not enough minutes to go around.
