Making Melo a lifer and waving at Felton in Rikers: Knicks offseason thread

[Kings County]

it still counts against the cap. however, if the player and team can agree on a #, the buyout could potentially be for less money than they owe him while allowing him to go to another team and get a new deal.

if im amare with bad knees, im taking all the money i can get

 

[Kings County]

Would y'all trade for Kobe if it meant dumping JR with Amare in the process?

u think LA would trade kobe? dont kobe get paid like 33 mill a year
hell nah i dont think him and melo work well together

Give him all his $$$ just give him the Marbury treatment

You know he's going to be complaining about playing time this season.

then his best bet is to stay on ya'll team and get his full salary, hopefully play good and get a new contract next summer with someone.

Marc and Zach Randolph real close I read before so it's going to be hard for us to pluck him away from Memphis but you never know

I can see Phil making a big move near the trading deadline, especially if the top free-agents are looking all likely so re-sign with their teams

the only free agent in that class that's probably available is Marc, but he'll likely resign with Memphis.

Kobe is making 25 million dollars in 2015-2016 why on earth would the Knicks trade for that when Amare is expiring this season?

Kobe makes 23.5 mil next season, Amare and Smith make about 29.4 combine. I'd do it if i believed i didn't have a shot at any of the big time FAs next season. Or if I knew Monroe was the only option since his max would be cheaper.
I think Kobe can play with a player he respects in Melo.

I really don't know why eveybody is so down on STAT. Let him play out his contract, but if some sweet deals come along around the trade deadline, then I would think about moving him. Other than that, he played really well for us when he did suit up. I'll always have respect for STAT, he was the only one with a pair of balls to come here in 2010, it's not really his fault his knees disintegrated.

I personally would keep him, unless it came to choosing between him and Bargs only because Bargs is a better fit for the Triangle.

I know Stat is a shell of himself, JR's a headcase, but trading them for an old cripple Tobe
