In reply to DRed.

Chris Paul was apparently really tired of reading those CP3 never even made a conference finals articles

I’m just happy that you waited until they won the game this time. 😉

But seriously, it is nice to see him make the Conference Finals. Good for him. So many bad takes on him never making it that far.

@60 If I know my Knicks, that process will last the exact amount of time it takes till KP is healthy and then it will be trade everything to win now.

Good things only happen to the Knicks when they’re forced to do it.

“President Steve Mills … says NYK is committed this time to avoiding the shortcuts they’ve taken the past. He reiterated that owner Jim Dolan is on board with taking a patient approach.

Wow, it only took 855 losses over the past 18 years, the worst winning% in the entire league over that span (and more than twice the losses than the San Antonio Spurs) for Dolan to get on board.

In other news, Ozzy Osbourne is on board with the idea that he might have had a minor substance abuse problem, and the Marlboro Man has decided that smoking cigarettes may not be all that good for you.

I watched the entire press conference on Youtube this morning. One takeaway I had is that the management and the coaching staff is all on the same page that defense comes first. That is a good thing. I think Phil Jackson may have also thought that way, but no previous GMs before him seemed to.

KP would be a restricted free agent, I dont think it is a big risk. Very few players have gone for que qualifying offer route, and it usually has not worked well for them.

Signing KP is a big time gamble. Letting him walk may be a bigger one.

Not signing KP to an extension positions us to have some cap space in the summer. I dont think the team would be in shape to make FA acquisitions, but some guys like Jimmy Butler, Khris Middleton, Kawhi Leonard or Tobias Harris could be available, giving us a chance fo fill the SF position. But first, we should ace the pick this year (and the next), Ntilikina show progression, THJr become more efficient, and KP come back fully recovered.

I bet most of that evidence is wrapped up in Isiah Thomas, and I’m sorry but I’m not giving credit for his ascent and decline to his marriage to Brad Stevens.

Off the top of my head, I’d include Crowder and Bradley in that and I’d definitely give Stevens credit for Thomas’s big year.

Say he plays on the QO in his 5th year

If he does this he’s an idiot. Him tearing his ACL makes this so unlikely it’s not even worth entertaining. You don’t turn down a 9 figure guaranteed payday coming off of that type of injury at his height and actually delay getting that type of payday for a year.
