I think they can agree on anything, as long as it meets CBA normal contract standards. So four years should be ok.

I’d prefer a 4 year deal with a team option on the last one or two. Is that legally feasible?

The Knicks should under no circumstances offer a one year deal to Trier. If he doesn’t accept two years then he can go spend most of this year playing in the g-league. It would make no sense for him to turn down life-changing money this year, anything can happen, he could blow out his knee and then all that money vanishes. Honestly, he should be putting his foot down now for a contract just to protect himself. Two years three million is the deal and maybe go up to four million. If he says no then he can stay in the g-league, risk injury, and then try to get a contract next year.

A one year contract doesn’t help us and gives him the best of both worlds, a chunk of money now and a chance to get paid this summer. You have to make him choose between guaranteed money now or a payday in 7 months. That first payday is the most life-changing and I don’t think he turns it down now. Too much of a gamble just to get paid one year earlier, when in tw0 years he probably signs a long-term deal that is a lot more lucrative than what he could sign this summer and makes up any lost income signing a two-year deal now.

Truth. But only because Knox has been so bad our bitching hasn’t kept pace.

Frank’s not even the worst regular on the Knicks. Mario is awful and Knox scores about as efficiency while shooting a lot more, never passing and he contains no defensive like substances. We’re collectively too busy bitching about Frank we’re not appreciating how incredibly bad Knox has been.

Just briefly, Frank is not the worst player in the NBA. He’s better than Andrew Wiggins.

I think I’d rather have Jackson for Frank than Fultz, but I’d prefer to keep Frank and see some steadfast commitment to development.

In reply to ess-dog.

It’s hard to believe that Korver can be traded for two 2nds and an expiring but we ultimately can’t trade Lee for just an expiring. I suppose he has to prove he’s healthy first, but I’m guessing Lee would want to go to a contender or any playoff team, really.

Korver makes almost half as much money as Lee next season and only half of that is guaranteed while all of Lee’s contract is guaranteed. Plus Korver is obviously the better shooter.

@28, Rama. Frank/Dot/Mudiay/Hez, Perry’s guys. Add Mills’ guy, TH2, and the pattern of proving you were right at work.

I’d rather trade Ntilikina to the Sixers for Fultz. We we would probably have to throw in a sweetener, buying think it might work for both teams. If Fiz can get Mudiay shooting better, maybe he an do the same for Fultz. And Phillie needs role players.
