How much is that



Depends on the cap, i think it is around 6 million but not sure



Yeah that'd be a no brainer. He's a great bench scorer and occasional starter.


I could be wrong on the number, i know the mid level was 9 this year..

Going to hold on for a big win. Now let's hope Miami takes the L.

Thanks chopper for the thread win.

In the paint without your two main Centers and coming out with a win is a huge testament that the correct coach was hired.
Defense in the 4th was awesome

Zion needs a jumper, he is an athletic freak and can dominate in the paint but he needs a jumper or the Pelicans need to surround him with 4 shooters

100%

We were getting killed early inside, but Thibs adapted and shut them down.
Four in a row.

At least in terms of plus-minus.
Jesus Christ thank god for Burks  
Leg of Theismann : 4/14/2021 10:23 pm : link
I mean we won by 10, but somehow I feel without him we would've lost. He's the only one we can consistently rely on in the 4th quarter. He literally scored the only 11 points the Knicks had in the entire first 6 min of that 4th quarter. Thank god Randle woke up up in the last 6 min.

I think the 4th quarter scoring by my count was:

Burks - 14
Randle - 7
Gibson - 2

I dont think he has much more of a career. I think he has actually gotten bigger.

Yes, listening to Knicks games on the radio. Hey - technology changes over the years.
I find it a little odd

that Dolan and Marv have a blood feud going, yet Kenny calls Knicks and Rangers games on a nightly basis.

Del I started following the Knicks in the late 70's listening to Marv do the games on the radio as the home games were on cable and we didn't have it yet. Even Marty Glickman did some games back then filling in for Marv.

The teams that don't get the 7th or 8th seed are in the lottery.

I actually kind of like the play in format. Gonna be fun, I think. Hopefully we get the 6th and can just watch it, lol
Ok thanks

Yup and yup: But to me Marv was magic, his timing, intonation, inflection, enthusiasm--his love of the game just shone through. Kenny much better at b-ball than hockey, where his dad was also good.

Sorry to butt in, guys, haven't had a shred of interest in the Knicks for a decade or more, clown show in the stands (Oakley), on the court, and in the FO, what a run of misfits as GMs and coaches, so now I'm trolling a bit.

And for the Marv days: Thibs kind of summons images of Holzman for me, nerdy, middle aged, bald(ing) white guy but commanding respect because of his knowledge of the game and the results on the court.

Memphis completely choked that game away. Grayson Allen is a talented player but his attitude will always hurt him. How about him laughing after missing both free throws? But Luka is ridiculous- such a special player.

This has been an awesome year. Such a pleasure to watch and Thibs deserves coach of the year. I think Randle has a shot at all nba too...

My Directv receiver seems to be having troubles and it was recording the NO feed instead of MSG, until I corrected it about 20 min. into the game. I don't mind listening to other broadcasters for a little bit, but it sure was nice when I caught up and could listen to Clyde instead of the others.

Yeah, watching it live I thought it was a two-pointer to tie it, and may have been after the buzzer anyway. Didn't even consider that it could be a three-pointer. Just shows you the great ones have this extra special feel for the game.
Haha, only saw the minute long clip on highlights, but KP  
Jim in Hoboken : 4/15/2021 10:24 am : link
didn’t join his teammates in celebrating. He was wide open too, but Luka could make the shot himself while stumbling. It must eats at him, and his idiot brother, that now he’s only carrying Doncic’s jock in Dallas.

He made a huge shot down the stretch and had some key defensive plays and rebounds as well. He played very well last night.

His brother hasn’t been in the US for a few years now and I’m guessing he’s pretty happy to have a max contract playing with Luka. It also seemed like either it was a 2 or didn’t get it off in time so maybe that’s why he wasn’t celebrating.

He has voiced his displeasure with his shots and playing time in the 4th quarter all year..

I dont think he took a shot in the 4th last night, that is probably why he was unhappy..

remember there was a report that part of the reason he was unhappy with Knicks was because they were planning on bringing someone in who ws better than him and that player would be the face...He wanted a say in who the Knicks signed
KP  
TyreeHelmet : 4/15/2021 11:01 am : link
I watched the game. He took a few shots in the 4th. He hit a really tough shot with a minute left to cut the lead to 3. Also had some key defensive plays on Valinucas.

I’m also specifically talking about last night but he played well. I also don’t understand the desire from Knicks fans to shit all over him. I honestly don’t blame him for wanting to leave the Steve Mills Knicks. They were a dumpster fire.

Chicago looks in trouble for the playoffs.
Washington and Toronto are making a big push.
Indiana is starting to play well.

Hopefully the Knicks grab the 6th spot and let Miami, Charlotte, Indiana, toronto, and washington fight it out.
The off-season is going to be really interesting....  
manh george : 4/15/2021 5:05 pm : link
looking at Knicks salary cap capacity and players that would be worth re-signing. Do they get to re-sign Burks and Noel (while keeping Robinson) without breaking the bank?

Do they figure out a way to combine picks/assets in order to move up into the early teens in the draft? Do they find a high-quality shooter FA who is something less than a superstar, such as Fournier? Do they get Lonzo Ball or someone at that level at pg?

I am very intrigued by Fournier, btw.
Well he are paying enough for front  
Carl in CT : 4/15/2021 5:15 pm : link
Office personal to figure it all out. They had a nice offseason assembling this team (greater than individual parts) maybe they can build on it.
