The Only Decent Free Agent Options I Can Think Of At SG Are Marco Belinelli And JJ Reddikk

Our Hand Is Kind Of Forced.

If A Free Agent 6th Man Of The Year Is Willing To Take Such A Pay Cut You Kind Of Have To Take It, There's No Other Options Out There, Unless We Work Some Kind Of Trade We Really Have No Other Options To Replace JR

:comeon: this isn't even that bad of a deal.... :snoop: at evening mentioning those cacs... JR played like shyt for a few straight games but he was brilliant for a while.

I'm confused. how does chris smith fit in here? are they saying without specifically saying that JR is gonna give the knicks the home town discount if they agree to pick up his scrub brother to ride the bench?

btw, $5M a season is a good deal for the knicks to get JR. that's a good signing at that price.

The Knicks don't operate like a franchise fully committed to winning basketball games.

Money Wise Its A Great Deal, Its The Years That Rub People The Wrong Way.

JR leaving is addition by subtraction. He already imploded on an off the court. Him on a four year deal? Lol...

Let Shumpert pick up the slack and give other guys opportunities.

Please explain your plan for the Knicks, because all you ever do is shyt on them with some bs conspiracy theory. Explain to us how they can become a championship caliber team. We're all listening.

Pretty much. Now if another team really wants JR (doubt it) they could do the same and offer more. JR's father is a Knicks fan, Knicks put Earl's lil brother on the payroll (training camp invitee), got that man a bonus with the 6th man award and mpg career high. He may feel obligated...it's business :patrice:

For People Who Dont Know About Chris Smith This Basically Sums It Up

"Give My Little Brother A Roster Spot And I'll Take The Discount"


I guess I was right.

if we got jr at 5 mill per yr thatd mean hes making just about the same as novak. sounds like a bargain to me. i could see some teams lurkin in the cut with money willing to give him 8-12 mill per yr. ie, atlanta, plus they got hella strip clubs. jr sees the bigger picture tho so hell prob take a paycut n stay in ny to be closer to home. woodson seems to be having the same troubles he had with atlanta.

with jerry sloan, phil jackson, and a plethora of other obviously better coaches out there u gota think u can have a much better chance taking this core and resigning our useful pieces as well as try to have camby take a buyout or retire. woodsons ingame adjustments are :snoop: jrs bread and butter has always been going crazy or driving and creating for novak, but woodson wont use what got him to that point in the first place.

That Was The Plan From Jump

People Keep Laughing About The Knicks Being In "Cap Hell", But The Plan Was Centered Around These Guys With A 2015 Expiration Date

People Can Disagree And Laugh At It But The Knicks DO Have An Exit Strategy

:manny:

Which would be the right move but signing JR to 4 years dont help you with that and you know Dolan aint gonna let you rebuild hes just gonna keep throwing band aids over bullet wounds thats his steez am i right?

I know this sounds crazy but your only shot to get better in the next few years is to trade Shumpert while his stock is high i like dude but hes your only big trade chip, if you can get an impact player to help Melo you might as well Melo only got so much prime left and until you get a legit all star 2nd scoring option yall stuck as a 2nd round and out type a team.

In reality Melo aint even good enough to be your best player on a title team but you obviously dont have the chips to get a betetr player then him but at least maybe Shumpert can land you a player who can actually create his own shot and score and take some pressure off Melo :ld:

I just realized how stupid the Knicks are :lupe:

JR 4 yrs/24 milly :laff:

PLUS giving his brother a guaranteed roster spot :laff:

Are we sure the Knicks front office isn't still being run by Isiah Thomas & Coli Knicks fans. These dudes are really idiots breh

I Agree With Most Of That, I Really Hate Giving JR 4 Years But It Is What It Is

JR With That Contract Will ALWAYS Be A Valuable Trading Asset Though, Any Team That Wants Him Doesnt Have To Worry About Getting Him At Some Ridiculous Inflated Price Cuz We Already Handled That

For sure but he's still a pretty young guy, also there's gotta be some compromise... length/money wise... this is a pretty good deal if its real. I'm high on JR continuing to improve which he has in his tenure as a Knick despite what people say.
