Knicks Sign Brandon Jennings
- Thread starter Broadway
- Start date
His value has dropped but I doubt to vet min level, so they must have dropped the cap hold on DWill at the min to fit him under the cap. I doubt PJ gave him more than 6m/yr, the guy was doing workouts like a rook for teams trying to prove his value. I like the deal, better than any name I thought the Knicks could get and he could become the starting PG if DRose bombs next year.
It is he's just not what he used to be...He works out for Brooklyn and yet they give Tyler Johnson $50mil still YIKES!!!!!
Sergio Rodriguez got $8mil from Philly...lol Brandon what happened SON?
Risk/Reward is terrific and now we have 2 guards on short deals we can evaluate for longer contracts the year after. Glad we didn't have to trade Quinn to get this done.
Seraphin we renounced when we signed Courtney Lee and Sasha and Lou we didn't have cap holds on. So bottom line is we only renounced DWill which is what was reported.
Interesting. So if we can convince Lance Thomas to stay with us and resign him and Galloway, then barring a trade our 2nd unit hypothetically would be O'Quinn, Lance Thomas, Holliday, Galloway, and Brandon Jennings. That's not...great, even when considering that very rarely would all 5 starters be off the court. Obviously, more roster moves to come, but not sure if Jennings was the biggest 'splash' left for us. In fact, we'll be lucky to keep Lance Thomas it seems.
Contradicts what Marks tweeted so either Jennings deal is for more than 5M or this is a move to get more cap space for Willie when he comes over from Spain, we still have the room MLE which we could have used to give him a 2.9M deal, maybe there's another deal in the wind or Marks cap numbers were off a couple of million.
Going to miss Mr. Big Shot not only for dagger 3s but his gritty D.
Probably have an arrangement with Willy, this had to be done to get the room for him. Probably wanna give him a similar deal as the Nuggets have with Jokic.
Getting BJ was the reason they renounced Gallo. Probably felt he was redundant to BJ and could use his cap space for another wing or big, the room MLE is limited to 2 yr deals and using Gallo's cap hold we could offer his cap hold of 2.7M in a 3 yr deal for Willie. We would still have the room MLE for another FA. Timing was an issue also, had to be done today.

Ramon Sessions would've been my first choice, Jennings isn't bad, especially for the money.
A good day for Phil and Co.

Phil and his team have been playing the cap like maestro's. Latest is dropping the QO to Gallo but keeping the cap hold enabling them to pay him up to 6.1M using the early bird. I'd like to see Gallo back, so let's hope no one values him at more than 6M.
