But McHale is terrible, Harden dominates the ball, Howard doesn't want a 3rd star...... If there's anything I've learned in fandom, it's that...
It's pretty difficult. You have to remember that the Knicks are in a very similar situation to the Lakers last year...paying the luxury tax but...
Don't think so. The amnesty provision applies to the full term of the contract, whether or not he's bought out.
Beverley was 2nd team all-NBA defense, and he's not a complete zero on the offensive end. He shot 36% from 3, and has that nice little floater in...
Let this sink in.... If Melo demands his max in a SnT, then he can get $22.5 million. Assuming our offer to Lowry is $11.3 million (which...
I could see the Knicks letting Melo walk to save taxes. Lakers did the same thing with Dwight. I think the Raptors would work with us on a...
Er....because clutch did the same thing more than a decade ago? Don't begrudge people their attempt to improve the market. BTW, Clutch does an...
One of the reasons we may be going after Lowry. If we're going to have to pay Beverley $8 million, we might as well pay Lowry $11-12 million.
All depends on Melo now. The fact that he hasn't committed to Toronto yet tells me he's waiting for something........ie the Melo trip to Houston....
The Rockets can match that. They can't if Toronto throws in the 5th year, but when you include the tax difference, it's closer than you'd think.
Not saying this is what's happening but.... "On vacation" is the best cover to meet with teams in secret.
Lin, DMo, Canaan, Casspi, Powell, Covington and Cappella would all have to be gone (or not count against the cap) to sign Lowry to a $11.3 million...
Well yes, unless we are also trying to get Love.
They would have to trade everyone but Rose, Noah, and Gibson.....all without taking back any salary in every case. Don't see it. They almost...
I agree that this is the much preferred route. I'd rather operate above the cap versus trying to clear space. Plan B is to trade Lin, Canaan,...
I think Morey's track record comes in handy here. Morey has never bluffed on a RFA....he has always matched. Not true of teams like Chicago and NYK.
Mechanically, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to clear the necessary salary for Lowry without dumping both Lin and Asik at the same time....
I thought about that. We could trade Lin to a team with cap space, generating a TPE that could be used to absorb $8.4 million of salary from...
Here's another idea: 3 Way Trade: Houston, Minnesota, and New Orleans Houston Out: Asik, TJones, DMo, Canaan, Rights to Sergio Llull, Rights to...
Sounds like a man who is waiting for something to happen. He already has an idea of who he wants. I think he's coming back to HTown.
