FREE AGENCY DAY!!!

My guess:
KD does in fact sign for 4 years no options with the Knicks.
Knicks wait to sign anyone else until they hear what happens with Kawhi.
Kawhi signs a 1+1 with Toronto.
Knicks sign 1 year deals with remainder of cap space and/or rent out the space but nothing beyond 1 year. My guess is that it’ll be grizzled vets who can shoot ie. Wayne Ellington.
Knicks go 27-55, get #7 pick.
Sign Kawhi or AD in offseason.
WIN.

I haven’t smoked anything that good since I was camping by Lake Powell in 1972…..

We should be trying to build our team like the Jazz. Barrett and Robinson are similar to Mitchell and Gobert and may eventually be a better tandem.

Wow, the Jazz apparently are trying to make a move for Bojan Bogdanovic. Holy shit, he would be an insanely good fit for them, right?

Conley
Mitchell
Bogdanovic
Ingles
Gobert

That’s a hell of a close out lineup, although they probably would then need to keep Favors on the team because I don’t know if Ingles is a guy you want playing the 4 all-season long. Actually, they might have to actually waive Favors in order to afford Bogdanovic, so I guess they still need to add a power forward then. I don’t think you can afford Ingles being the full-time 4.

Yeah, I just hope it all gets solved by the first week of free agency. I really fear what could happen if they sit on 2 max slots through an entire free agency period.

That’s why we have to hope that KD and Kawhi just take the decision-making off of Mills and Perry’s hands.

Perry orchestrated the absurd Vince Carter and Zach Randolph signings in Sacramento a couple years ago. I’m hearing whispers of us eyeing over the hill veterans on short contracts and it feels really similar. If we sign a bunch of 30-year-old players to 1 and 2-year contracts I will be really upset.

I want Robin Lopez back because he told me he would do something with me about comics (he’s a big fan) but then he got traded. So if he’s a Knick again, score!

In reply to Ben R.

What I also don’t get is that Rozier will have offers, so it’s not even like you could get him on a one-year deal. What are they even doing? “We won’t sign lesser free agents to long term deals if we miss out on the top guys…but we’re also interested in signing Terry Rozier.” It just doesn’t make sense.

Let’s just hope that KD and Kawhi do their thinking for them and sign here together.

I want no part of Rozier as well. At the minimum sure I’d take a flyer but at anywhere near what he’d demand no way. DSJ has a better career 2pt%, a similar TS%, and more assists per 36 and DSJ isn’t a good basketball player.

The starting five of please don’t be here next year is: Cousins, Rozier, Mudiay, Morris, Rose

I don’t actively hate Rozier and Morris they are mediocre and are going to get paid. Rose, Mudiay, and Cousins I wouldn’t want for free.
