A shorter deal for more money
Oh because all great players are saints . We should of overpaid Lin not for performance no but for his sparkling character . Lin has no trade value because what would he bring to an under the cap team? And for a capped team they get the full Cap hit of like 40 mil to trade him . The odds of a team wanting to trade for a guy like Lin who can't even bring the ball up court against a trap is ? Oh unless th bobcats have a big Asian fan base

the money is irrelevant again get it through your head.

Trip wanted to pay Lin his money so his opinion on people's values isnt something I can take serious . Again how is letting jr walk helping make us better ???? The guy is taking below market value he's not a team cancer and didn't throw the whole team under the bus like chandler yet you guys are talking as if he is a black cloud on the Knicks

He averaged 5+ rebounds a game and scored 18ppg a game there are players worse than him getting paid more . If you think someone in the league doesn't think jr is worth less than 5 mil idk what to tell you . You I already know is on this conspiracy tip and are now using the fact we didn't win a title to try and act like your correct . How did your Felton and jr hate work out last year?. They both got us farther than your hero Lin who didn't suit up . Jr and shump can coexist so how about you wait till they get a season to play together first

Lin is a bum. I don't know why anyone brought him up

Regular season doesn't mean shyt though. JR Smith's game isn't going to work in the playoffs for a role player. He's been in the league for a while and isn't going to change up his game when he's struggling, trust me I've seen it for so many years. As bad as the Knicks were you gotta remember the Pacers got blown out twice by the Hawks and were beatable. If your bum coach would of taken JR off the court maybe ya'll could of made it a series.

Why doesn't Thornton have better stats then him if he's so great :comeon: oh injuries and personal problems :what: yeah let's overpay him to not score 18ppg , average 2 assists or even rebound

He scored 18 last year and 21 in 27 games the year he got traded there. I'm not just looking at stats you fukking idiot. Why are you so fixated on Thornton? I'm merely mentioned him as someone who is of that score in bunches variety that I would rather have than JR Smith. I'll take Jamal Crawford over JR Smith. What you don't get is that I hate JR Smith as a fukking basketball player, period. 4 more years of this dumb fukk is too much to bear. If you think JR Smith is miraculously going to stop to fukking up on and off the basketball court, then you're a bigger fool than I thought.

:whew:

I love the debate, buy Knicks fans are the worst lol

"His SCORING is too valuable"

"So 18ppg is terrible?"

"....sixth man of the year"

Look, re-signing this guy to a 4 year deal is a disaster waiting to happen. This guy is not a scorer, but a chucker. And he possibly has one of the lowest basketball IQ' in the league. Last time I checked Indiana advanced and yall didn't. You don't "need" his scoring. What you need are guys that can do more for you than stand behind the arc and shoot. You need to play defense, you need to rebound. And that's why Miami, Indiana, Memphis, and San Antonio are all left standing (and why my bulls got as far as they did with this joke of a roster this year) you need to start building some kind of system that works for the playoffs. It's always nice when nikkas are dropping 40 on Toronto and Charlotte during the regular season. But that shyt doesn't fly in the playoffs. So you guys can chill with that 18 ppg shyt. It's irrelevant once the playoffs start and you have to try and beat the same team over and over. I just can't believe after pulling off that trade with Melo that this would still be the storyline. Cut your losses with him and let Shump prove himself. And I don't wanna hear this "if he gets his mind right he will be okay and maybe we can trade him" no one taking that deal and he will never get his mind right. He ain't a rookie anymore that ship has sailed.

Those quotes are correct about jr . Why are you guys acting jr isn't worth less than 5 mill a year :skip: the team as a whole got outplayed no one is excusing jr but Tyson didn't show up at all , Felton no showed some games , Woodson panicked , melo shot poorly and was hurt . For the amount of money jr would be getting and the fact the roster is locked in he'd be great off the bench . The thing is you need to win games to get to the playoffs :ufdup: we aren't the heat we can't detract talent just because he played bad in the playoffs
Shump can progress with jr there and the team wants jr there . I remember how last year they made threads saying we would be lucky to make the playoffs with out roster and we did way more than that . So excuse me of ill take the teams opinion over a random fan . The Knicks had no cap space last year and were able to create a division winner

JR isn't worth 5mil to a contending team. So the Knicks should resign him quickly since they will never be contenders anyway :youngsabo:

Shump can grow with Melo and JR on the floor? :heh:

And congratulations on being happy just to make the playoffs. That's the spirit. :jawalrus:

So everyone says Melo needs a second option but are also cheerleading JR returning...lol

It's not like if he leaves we'll then be able to go out and sign another guy who can be a bonafide number 2 for us. Like it or not this is probably the best we can do. We have no cap flexibility and our core is pretty much gonna have to stay the same; and at 5 mil a year it's not even a huge investment, so unless the stretch JR had in the playoffs becomes the norm, I'm not gonna complain.

they need to trade amare----

It's not gonna happen

Again it's not the salary it's the years. Keeping JR for 4 years is a bad investment. It will hinder Shumps growth and cause more salary cap issues in 2 years if yall want to sign some free agents. Plus it ain't like the Knicks were going anywhere with JR anyways

sorry breh, but other than that fluke WCF run when Chauncey came in and did most of the thinking for him, chucking up shots at a horrendously inefficient clip, averaging more TO's than assists and generally being a cancer out there is the norm for JR in the playoffs.

Thank god you got in here Ritzy tells these nikkas how a Melo/JR combo is a recipe for disaster.

They are just trolling Breh and trip is a conspiracy nut

he can , shumps a starter and jr isn't . Melo in no way holds back shump so idk what your trying to say . We made it to second Round fukk out of here with that we have to just make it nonsense . Show me a Knicks fans saying that and stop making shyt up

JR isn't worth 5mil to a contending team. So the Knicks should resign him quickly since they will never be contenders anyway :youngsabo:

We are in the final 8 teams in the nba even while being injured . We could be like real contenders the lakers nets clips and nugs losing in the first round :heh: and the first part of contending is needing to win games we have no cap flexibility , jr helps us win games to even make the playoffs .

Hmm the norm for the nuggets and Karl is choking in the first round good luck with that cause outside of his bucks run and the wcf that's the norm for him. See I can be salty and throw sour grapes out too :yeshrug: all I know is jr was a big part of us winning games this season . He's our problem let us worry about him
