I know, I almost spit out my iced tea when I saw his hot take. He thinks he “lives in the heads” of the “haters,” meanwhile he’s outside, peering over the fence, uninvited from the reindeer games, creating burner accounts to occasionally chime in before getting re-banned. Fucking CLASSIC.

The twitter sleuths say the burner accounts seem to match up with Colangelo’s wife’s phone number

At least now the shirt collar remarks make sense!

🙂

That story doesn’t make any sense, though. Why don’t they just ride out the year with Faried, it’s the last year of his deal? Is it really worth the 14th pick to clear cap space for who? Who’s going to Denver so that they can grab the 7th seed and get ousted in the first round?

I think it has to do with clearing space to give Jokic his max deal a year early. If they believe that Jokic will not re-sign with them unless they make him restricted and then max him now, then they might be willing to do that. In that case, they might need to clear cap space to do it while making other moves.

Probably true, but I think they also see they don’t use him at all and he’s taking up a roster spot, so they would rather get value for him. There aren’t that many teams with free cap space to just absorb his contract, which is why I thought they might like Lee. After all, they probably want to be contenders next year so filling a position of need would help them.

To see why I think they won’t just trade him into someone’s cap space, take a look at the link below. No team has enough current cap space to take him on. Next year, only the Hawks, Kings, Bulls, 76ers and potentially the Mavericks and Suns will have enough free cap space. That is not a huge market, given that some of those teams will want to spend their cap space on free agents instead of on Faried.

@Brian Cronin are you the Brian Cronin from the Comic Books Resources site?

That’s the one!

The Knicks need to get rid of Kanter and keep KO and Beasley.

I didn’t intend to suggest we shouldn’t keep them, I just think it’s unlikely we actually do keep them. For Beasley, there are already interested teams and I suspect he wants a long term contract. The Knicks are probably not going to want that long a contract. O’Quinn is underpaid and I think it will be the same with him. I’d rather keep him than Kanter, but if Kanter opts in, we may not have space for O’Quinn.
