Kay is awful radio. I would listen to Roberts but he has that clown as a co-host.
I had some drivetime yesterday, gave Carton and Roberts a shot, Roberts was trying to talk about the Yankees, and Carton was shouting over Roberts about how Yankees and Mets fans obsess over each other.
So I switched to Michael Kay, and he sounded like such a doofus I gave it all up after 5 minutes and switched to some easy listening music
we couldn't land a damn lead guard with the most $ to spend and so many lead guards available. Its been friggin' decades since we had a lead guard (other than a month of Lin).
Having the ball in Randle's hands for 35 min a night is fool's gold. He's not LBK or Luca. The poor decision making has been his weakness his entire career. Was much better all season last year. Kudos to him for that, but a lead facilitator he is not.

PG Kendrick Nunn off board. PG Dennis Schroder is left. When this process started, one source indicated Schroder was asking for $25M starting salary.

The word Schroeder is going to morph into a verb in NBA circles to mean "pissed away more $".
let me say I'd def take Schroeder on a one or 2 year deal (in some ways, I'd be concerned on a one year deal given he likely would want to boost his numbers and get paid) but the way Magic Johnson shit on him made me think Schroeder is a bit of a shithead. It seemed personal.

League source confirms Kendrick Nunn had contract discussions with Knicks during free agency period but chose to sign 2-year, $10M deal w/Lakers instead of signing with NYK or his other other suitors. Athletic first reported NYK/Nunn detail & says NYK offered Nunn more $ than LAL

Who did Wash and Utah get that you’d want? They offered Payne and Nunn more. What more could they have done?
Just because he's the last guy left doesn't mean they will crawl after him. They seem very particular about what they want at PG
I do agree with this, but there have been Schroder rumors for months. He gets to the rim like Thibs likes. He's a supercharged version of Elf for better or worse. He just needs to be more efficient with his scoring, but he can get buckets when he's on.
They had the most $$$ and basically are running back the same team. “They tried” is getting old. Fournier is a nice addition but they needed a PG and once again came up empty.

Dinwiddie and Conley are better than anything we have.
I thought Leon Rose was a "play-maker" not just a guy who would be somewhat crafty on draft night for marginal benefit but otherwise not capable of bringing in "move the needle" players.

Don't know if there is any real interest as fallback but I do know Knicks called their starting point guard Elfrid Payton when free agency opened last night. Dennis Schroder, Reggie Jackson still on PG board.
refuse to believe that. If he were brought back I'd have serious concerns about the future of this franchise based on that move alone, I'm not even kidding.

I would too but it's not that crazy to think it's possible. I mean the guy started 63 games last year and for most of the playoffs despite it being obvious to anyone and everyone that he was actively hurting the team.
was never, ever coming here. He openly said he wanted to stay in Utah.
I am not saying he was. I am saying that there were 10+ PGs that were in this summer's FA market and better than what we have and none of them belong to us now. Major fail.
Fourth in the East last year and now Atlanta, Miami and Chicago have now blown by us. We got marginally better while they all "did work".

Oh, I don't disagree they have been oddly unable to improve the PG position (to this point) in 2 off-seasons. I was just pointing out that Conley was a completely unrealistic option. Flat out said he wanted to stay and he and Mitchell are very close (Mitchell essentially calls him his mentor) so that wasn't going to happen.

Even Thibs pulled the plug at the end. If he's back, they completely deserve to be tarred and feathered, I think this is Berman just looking for engagement.
im not shedding tears over not paying dinwiddie 63 million....
kinda bummed about Nunn as he could have at least competed with guys here. I mean i wanted no part of schroeder and if he is some sort of cancer then forget it, but i mean schroeder at 8 mill is a pretty good deal. I said it earlier but he is basically a good version of Elf (Penatrating guard, ehh distributor, cant shoot) and a better version of elf is still an improvement.
Id like to know what the deal is with the 3rd year. Is it like 8 of 10 mill is guaranteed or like 2 of 10 mill, ha, makes a big diff.

Nunn's deal has a player option in Year 2. He turned down more money with the Knicks and other teams to join the Lakers.
Too young to chase a ring over playing time and experience.
Could have lined himself up for a big payday.
Now he will be luck to see the court more than 10-15 minutes a game.

NYK cannot keep getting credit for not executing bad contracts. At some point, they have to do something impactful.

No one is giving them credit for it. The point is why lock yourself into bad deals that don't give you flexibility to eventually get over the hump? It's much easier to move sub $15M contracts
I would say bulls are now ahead of Knicks, the worst part about it lavine probably re ups, not that we have room to sign him next year anyway, but at least we have a strong backup center and SF locked in for next year instead. I think 7/8 seed is most realistic, Boston, indiana and Charlotte duking it out with us for those seeds. First round exit regardless if it’s 7 or 8 or 6 for that matter.
Then we get to run it back again in 2022-2023 with the same team with a now maxed out Julius Randle, really exciting, this front office is incredible. Be nice if we can actually hear them talk and be accountable for that Noel deal.
For the first time in my life I will actually root for the Lakers to win it this year with Melo on that team. He deserves a ring and everyone can leave the guy alone.
If he is good enough to play significant minutes in the playoffs for the Clippers, there is no reason we shouldn’t have some degree of interest. We were going to compete for the top FAs in 2022, then it was 2023 so we accumulated all the picks (for Bronny...lol) and now it has become 2024. Unreal.

NY sports talk radio is awful these days
its going to be Jackson or schroeder..
putting aside the below market deal - finding minutes in that rotation will be no easy task.

Nunn should have looked at Montrez as a cautionary tale
Tough to see him getting more anywhere else. I bet they waive Vildoza and do a 1 year 12 mil deal.

Payton started playoff games for this team. They're clearly not THAT particular about who they play at PG, lol.
