They are both resigning. I have no interest in giving Fournier 4 years for $80 million, guy can’t play a lick of defense. I also heard on a simmons or Russillo podcasts that Fournier has the worst PER in NBA playoff history for a players that has played at least X amount of games.
As a restricted free agent, the Knicks would have to fashion an offer sheet that would be difficult for Miami to match. Of course knowing Riley, besides negotiating the Lowry deal before free agent talks are allowed, he probably already has a deal in place for Robinson.
My prediction is the Knicks sign Fournier and Schroeder and bring back Bullock and Rose.
Someone would have to convince me what Duncan Robinson
I’m assuming those comments are sarcastic, Duncan Robinson much better than bullock and Fournier and your hoping he can be had for $20 million. If the Knicks big plans are to pay $20 million a year to Duncan Robinson, then I may smash my tv. I will take my chances with Frank Nntklikina hitting corners 3 and locking down people defensively for 1/4 the cost. Robinson shot 41 percent from and cant defend, he is already 27 what am I missing here?

Dont worry Mcbride will make you forget all about Frank

Let's hope MM is a hell of lot better than FN, a bottom of the barrel NBA player. I get a Derek Fisher vibe out of MM (competitive as hell, bulldog type who may be better off ball than as a lead guard).
but he's literally only a shooter. There's probably a role for a Novak type of sniper but if he's replacing Bullock's spot, he needs to be able to defend too. However we might think of Bullock's defense, Thibs leaned on him and trusted that part of his game.

Duncan is more of a taller Redick, he is going to run off screens, trae young is not going to be able to just sit in a corner and guard him...Robinson is not just a spot up shooter..
im not overly excited to sign Duncan to 20 per. He is a very good shooter, but I dont see a guy creating his own shot that often. So he is probably a much better open 3 pt shooter then Bullock but i still just seem him as a 3 pt shooter and im not excited to pay him a ton of money.
40 million to Schroeder and Fournier then you might as well just start prepping for that day in 2 seasons when we are excited by the new GM and president we have coming in. Not sure what Schroeder or fournier have done to make us htink they woudl be worth that kind of money. Im ok with fournier for like 15 per, but i have zero interest in schroeder.
I know there is this idea that Thibs only wants penetrating guards, but if thats the case then someone needs to tell him you need to put shooters around RJ/Randle so getting another shitting 3pt shooting PG (basically one step above Elf) doesnt make sense.
As for Frenchie...we will always have...some nice games here & there.
I would want no part of Kawhi right now with his injury and age.
Possible? Yes. But none of those guys are coming to NY.
Likely shopping in the next tier for pg (Dinwiddie, Schroeder, Graham) and Wing (Fournier, Oubre, Powell)
I the the number I saw last was approximately $56 mil but I am not sure if that number includes moving Knox.
according to Macri
Link - ( New Window )
The Myles Turner rumor came from a Pacers beat writer
I'd probably sign up for that if you can also move Mitch, otherwise it's just poor roster management.
Fournier at 3 years, 51 mil
IQ, Mitch, Knox, 5 1sts for Lillard
Turner
Randle
RJ
Fournier
Lillard
That's a pretty darn good team.

I'd rather bring back Rose and Bullock than sign Fournier. But Turner and Lillard would be awesome.
That would be interesting. Much better than either Bullock or Fournier. Wonder if he could be had for 20 per.
My prediction is the Knicks sign Fournier and Schroeder and bring back Bullock and Rose.
I don't believe he's the same or better defender, and he's another guy that seems afraid to shoot.

I just don't think the Heat let him walk.
Meh. He's fine, better than Elf, sure, but I'm not excited about giving up assets for him.

How about the Knicks taking on Dragic as the 3rd team in the Lowry sign and trade?
Meh. He's fine, better than Elf, sure, but I'm not excited about giving up assets for him.
you wouldnt have to, they would give you an asset for helping them out
Duncan is more of a taller Redick, he is going to run off screens, trae young is not going to be able to just sit in a corner and guard him...Robinson is not just a spot up shooter..
It would be impossible to double team Randle on the block and he would necessitate constant attention.
Robinson is far superior to Bullock, however, no way Miami let’s him go.
Any idea what'd be going back?
Schroeder - 4y, $18mm per
Fournier - 3y, $20mm per
Mitch Robinson + a first rounder for Myles Turner
I had hoped for something like:
Obi + a first rounder for Collin Sexton
Norman Powell 3y, $20mm per
Richaun Holmes 3y, $8mm
Quote:
It has legs. He was part of Plan B if they couldn’t sign Kawhi or trade for Dame
Any idea what'd be going back?
Mitch but unsure of what else. Not close to being done just covering their bases in case they strike out with their top targets
i do to but Schroeder, Fournier, Rj, Randle, Mitch wouldnt be half bad..
Fill in the bench with the rooks and a couple more vets
