JohnnyHector Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The biggest shame in all of this is that the backup plan to Jordan and LMA (neither of whom are coming here) should be tanking next year. At least if the Lakers go that same route, their pick is top-3 protected... I can't wait to see who Denver takes with our top-5 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Monroe signing a max deal with the Bucks. One disaster averted. They can have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They can have him. Agreed. The other potential disaster is, after losing out on Jordan and LMA, that they try to sign Tobias Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Knicks sign Afflalo to 2 year deal. Bargain considering Iman Shumpert, the NBA SG equivalent of Geno, is getting 4/40 million. This is the most asinine NBA offseason ever. Scrubs are getting superstar money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Agreed. The other potential disaster is, after losing out on Jordan and LMA, that they try to sign Tobias Harris. I don't think Phil will do that. Most likely you'll see a combo of Patrick Beverly/Lin/Kendrick Perkins on 1-2 year deals. I figured Monroe was window dressing. Phil's real target is Aldridge or Jordan but probably not happening Aldridge has to go be Robin to Duncan's batman in San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to sign a guy who can no longer protect the rim and shoots 45% when 90% of his shots come from < 10 feet from the basket. I'd hope they make a run at Sideshow Bob or Koufos instead.

At least if the Lakers go that same route, their pick is top-3 protected... I can't wait to see who Denver takes with our top-5 pick. Toronto has the pick and still can't understand why Grunwald traded a 1st rounder for Bargnani when it was a salary dump by Toronto and it was, at best, a 50/50 proposition he'd re-sign with Knicks. Grunwald didn't even lottery protect it. Makes no sense to me and he was never asked about it because he was fired shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 2/16 is actually not that horrible considering the money getting thrown around this week. You know it's bad when signing Arron Afflalo for 'only' 8M and laying off/missing out on everybody else exceeds reasonable expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lonelyhearts Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I thought that swap already happened. Pretty sure it's next year. Of course they'll be in the lottery too so Grunwald is still retarded for not protecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of amazing that he drafted Porkstraps Kraznpingas as a 3-year project and he's going to have to start him because he's apparently incapable of signing anyone.

As 'The Artist Formerly Known As...' correctly stated, Denver has the right to swap (with Toronto) next year, so they'll get whichever is the better pick between their own and the Knicks'.

RutgersJetFan Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Jordan met with Dallas for like a week. He saved LA for last to give them a final push.

Got it. But Knicks are free and clear on the 2017 1st rounders and after, and they'll need them. The 2016 draft is not going to be that good as this year or last so losing out on a 1st isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Knicks need defenders in FA because they have enough O-centric players now. The Monroe miss is a blessing in disguise because it saved Jax from himself. A deal for him made no sense. Triangle, triangle, triangle. Bullsh*t. They need wing and frontcourt defenders because they don't have any. Now, they at least have AA. Lopez would be a decent signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
