He's not taking nearly as big of a risk as y'all think.

I told @Brozay and some others in another thread, just look at it like a 1 year deal, the same way guys in any sport do with 1 year deals.

Exactly. He was in the same situation last year. Everybody on the last year of their contract is "taking a risk" if you look at it like that.

he going to the Knicks then next summer?

He's probably going to be plan B after Gasol. He's no where near as good as Gasol, but he is young and can pass well and Phil would probably would have an idea of what he could do with him based on the time he spent "consulting" the pistons a 2 years ago.

Also getting Monroe would allow the knicks to keep more of the roster they have now compared to going after Gasol where to max him they would have likely lose Shump and/or JR.

Monroe will be expensive too though, probably not huge cost savings from Gasol

He should fire David Falk. Dude doesn't understand restricted free agency.Same with Eric Bledsoe and Rich Paul. Dudes need better agents.

Bledsoe and Monroe are in two very different situations. Monroe hates Detroit and wants out ASAP. Bledsoe and his agent thought they could pressure the Suns into a max - figuring that Hayward got a max, he should too. Gambled and lost.
