					<description><![CDATA[One thing about Hollinger is that he covers everybody, even a lottery bust who played for the Westchester Knicks last season.  Does anyone know how he played for them?

This is what he wrote. 

&lt;/blockquote&gt; 45. Johnny Davis, last with Grizzlies

The Wizards’ lottery bust finished last season with Westchester in the G League. He is only 23 and still two-way eligible&lt;blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Putting this here so I can copy and paste it into the new thread in a bit: 

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6432390/2025/06/18/nba-free-agency-2025-shooting-guards/

Hollinger&#039;s shooting guard preview is up. Here are some notable names he lists as potentially gettable for either the taxpayer midlevel or the vet minimum. You&#039;ve got to read the article for the blurbs and for his system&#039;s estimates of what they&#039;re each worth: 

Luke Kennard

Sam Merrill

Gary Harris

Josh Okogie (Charlotte team option)

Tim Hardaway Jr

De&#039;Anthony Melton
Cody Martin

Alkaline Burns

Garrison Matthews

Malcolm Brogdon

Dante Exum

Bruce Brown

Landry Shamet (if we want to keep him)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here is what he wrote about Wright:

&lt;blockquote&gt; 23. Delon Wright, Knicks

Wright fell out of favor in Milwaukee due to a horrid shooting slump, but he played better with the Knicks and showed in the playoffs that his defense can still make an impact on many nights. While the 6-5 Wright is pretty strictly a low-usage fifth option now and profiles more as a combo than a true point guard, his nose for the ball and knack for crafty transition finishes remain. He just doesn’t have the zip to get the cup like he used to, and the shooting (34.8 percent career from 3 on low volume) remains a limitation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John Hollinger has an article about point guard free agents.  Two Knicks are mentioned.  Here is what he wrote about Payne.   The dollar number is his software’s estimate of a market salary (BORD$).   It seems like we might lose him. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;12. Cameron Payne, Knicks, $8,764,429

The lithe lefty had a solid campaign (sorry) at the back end of New York’s rotation, appearing in 72 games, launching his side-saddle 3s early and often and making 36.3 percent of them. Payne also quietly ran the point with aplomb, handing out nearly four dimes for every turnover.

He turns 31 this summer and will be looking for a raise above his minimum deal of a year ago; the Knicks can only offer him a 20 percent raise on his minimum to $4.36 million for the coming year unless they use their $5.7 million taxpayer exception. More likely, getting that raise will involve relocating.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
