SMC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 so I saw some article saying after next season it will be the best FA market EVAH. why is melo listed ? does he have a player option to void out ? is his contract running out ? wtf ? can we afford melo, kobe and LeBron ? (j/k) Melo has 2 yrs left on his contract with an opt out after next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So the Knicks gave Smith a 4 year deal and let him wait two months to have surgery. How does this make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So the Knicks gave Smith a 4 year deal and let him wait two months to have surgery. How does this make any sense. lmfao Melo, Meta and JR Smith on the same team. This is literally comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 So the Knicks gave Smith a 4 year deal and let him wait two months to have surgery. How does this make any sense. I'm guaranteeing that Smith hid it from them and let the Knicks bid against themselves to sign him, then he "surprised" them with the news that his leg was porked.

Thats my feeling as well. I'd imagine even if Milwaukee extended a deal, they have the right to see a physical prior to a binding contract?

SMC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 That said, it does sound fishy. But there was no way JR was having surgery before he signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Bid against themselves? JR got Carlos Delfino money. Get a grip. Smith is a one year deal player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Smith is a one year deal player A team hopes for that and I would agree that 1 year is ideal, but there was no way he was signing a 1 yr deal with anyone. Besides, the recovery is not long and timing not that bad. Ive seen players wait until training camp to have surgery. Shaq did that once. He didnt want to ruin his vacation.

You cannot perform surgery on drunk people. Took JR some time to sober up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 lol...so all of a sudden JR's deal is only for 3 years now, with year 3 being a player option. No other teams offered more money than the Knicks did either...possible no one offered anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gqxluvx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wait his deal is a 2 year deal with a 3rd year player option? Man the Knicks management makes the Jets look like the Green Bay Packers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunwald didnt even know it was only a 3 year deal.While I agree that the NYK FO is perplexing at times, the contract was always good, even at 4 yrs. This is not an Amare or Joe Johnson contract. Would you rather have 32 yr old JJ & his planter faciaitis at $21m this year or 27 yr old JR & his knee at $5.5m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Dolan is The Devil. No on disputes that. Just like Steinbrenner in the 80s & early 90s was The Devil. Too bad we didn't have internet back then so fans could kill every move Stick Michaels made because of hatred for George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to guess, the top decision makers right now for the Knicks are obviously Dolan and next in command would be Leon Rose. I wont even mention the other guy to save SMC from needing CPR.

Rivera I think he wanted to deal for Wells in 95....dont recall Bernie other than his flirting with FA and the Red Sox. Pettite got pissed at George at went to Houston.

Pettite got pissed at George at went to Houston.Steinbrenner actually had a deal in place to trade Mo to Mariners before 96 season for Felix Fermin so they could then shop Jeter. Stick Michael convinced George not to do it. Steinbrenner also tried to trade Pettite in 99 but Cashman convinced him not to. Bottom line is that these are owners, not sports people. Fans can just hope that the sports people can intervene to stop the owner from doing something stupid. Shump is still here and Dolan is still The Devil.

Larz Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Melo has 2 yrs left on his contract with an opt out after next season. txs. lets hope he gives the knicks a heads up if he is going to opt out so they can trade him like in denver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 txs. lets hope he gives the knicks a heads up if he is going to opt out so they can trade him like in denverOpt out and leave is the key. Denver wanted to sign Melo to an extension, but he said he would not re-sign with them so they traded him. Knicks arent worried about opt out. Theyre worried he'll opt out and sign with Lakers. BTW, on an owners note, how much of a clown is Marc Cuban? Not only did he blow up a championship roster on a pipe dream, but now he says the team doesnt need Howard. Really? Then why did you offer him $90 m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
