If you want to call it bad because you think RoLo and Jerian were going to bring us to the promised land and will now be doing that for Chicago instead, ok cool. However, to call it a bad trade because you think RoLo at his strike price is better than JoNo at his - is pretty bogus. Neither were going to get us anywhere anyway. I'd rather blow it up and at least have the opportunity to sign KD this year or Westbrook next year, than carry forward with $13m of RoLo. RoLo and Jerian at their price is cheaper and better than Noah at his. And that's if they even sign him or anything close to him. Noah is 3 years older and not as good a scorer.

All the cap room in the world does them no good if they can't get good players to come. I stand corrected. Knicks have $34 million in cap room next summer after they give Noah his deal. No one is coming here unless we show we're competitive and have cap space. Jose Calderon at pg even with the greatest defensive center of all time with the most marvelous contract of all time guaranteed us 30 wins next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was to clear cap space to try to land a superstar. RoLo and Jerian on discounts were not going to win us a championship, no matter how much their little hearts desired it. So unless your goal as a fan is to hope that the Knicks just barely teeter the playoff line and stay fiscally responsible, you have no leg to stand on here. I'm happy we decided to blow up the team and actually go for something bigger - like a former MVP at age 27 and the potential to land a superstar like KD this year or RW next year.

It's a big day for the 18 million dollar a year declining big man with an injury history taking up a good chunk of the space the Knicks created, and now have like 6 guys on the roster. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlighten me on how the Knicks are going to take the 30 million in space they have, wait, 12 million in space now (if Noah is 18 million dollars for real), with 6 players under contract and be a viable NBA team.

At least T0m's trolling was as a Nets fan (he's since disappeared since they traded every 1st rounder they have until 2036), but still. Why even bother commenting if you don't like the sport?

The Knicks are dropping major coin on questionable players to barely make the playoffs in hopes a top tier free agent is going to come, when they couldn't this offseason? Good one.
