Wait, what? Why would we do that?

I like Tobias, personally, and feel he would be a nice SF partner to wedge in between KP and Timmy.... plus, I believe he?s a local kid. WHG is redundant, if we plan on keeping Kanter, and he would be better than anything NYK will select in the 8-12 range.
He?s 25, 6?8? and averages 18/5/2. Almost 15 mil cap hit next season then an UFA summer 2019.
Ergo, NYK could sign a Kyrie for a max then re-sign both Harris and KP (bc they would Knicks and thus NY could go over cap to sign each to whatever they want).
With KP and Tobias in place, NYK would be attractive to a 2019 free agent (Kyrie and KL).
Kyrie
Knits
THJr
Harris
KP
This starting 5 might get us to the promised land.

One NBA source said the Knicks inquired about the Nets? 23-year-old defensive forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, but Brooklyn asked for a first-rounder. That the Knicks? pick is looking more like a lottery selection makes it virtually untouchable.
KCP and RHJ = NBa title!
Well, maybe not...

We can't, #kporzee extension has to be agreed upon Oct of 2018(by the last 2weeks of month). If the extension is not given or agreed to #kporzee then becomes what essentially is an Restricted Free Agent. If so, his restricted status would come at a cap hit of his 2018-2019 salary at a multiplier of 250% or 300% which comes to about $14-21mil.
Which route you think we're going with him? I bet all my coins he gets his October offer extension, otherwise his brother is gonna turn him on us thus his cap hit will be 30% of cap(which I project to be about $105-108mil by 2019)...the math comes to about a $32mil cap hit.
We could only do what you're suggesting if we were over the cap not under

It depends on our cap situation.... Perry will probably talk to KP and lay out his vision.... if he convinces KP that what?s in the team?s best interest is also in KP?s best interest.... to learn from Melo?s error... then KP might buy into it.
It?s basically, do I want my extension now and risk it lowering chances of building a winner sooner.... or wait 1 year... knowing the team is absolutely committed to him and the future.... showing him you can use this to sign almost 2 max players...
It?s defintely a conversation they?ll have.
Dolan doesn?t care about the money. If it makes sense to pay KP more money, but that means you skirt the cap and by doing so it permits more free agency maneuvering.... Dolan won?t care. He paid almost 100 mil for Jax to run team into the ground and allowed PJ to hire and pay 3 coaches simultaneous.
On the other ha d, if what Bondy wrote is wrong, and waiting until next summer doesn?t give the team an advantage whatsoever with cap manipulation.... then, obviously, yeah... the extension will be offered before next summer.
IMO they did it because they were going to lose Bradley in FA, Probably lose Harris in FA after next season. With Blake they have him locked in for a number of yrs.
But Tobias and Bradley and the pick could have all gotten back good players in separate deals and built a deeper team imo. Blake is owed a lot of money and is injury prone.
Wow! It took coach Doc 5 yrs to finally land a winning SG Bradley to add to the Clippers rotation lmao.
I believe the Detroit Pistons would've been a dangerous threat in the postseason games if the Pistons wouldve had Reggie Jackson / Bradley / Griffin / Drummond.
Stunning trade, there were rumors about trading DJ but none about Blake.
6 games remaining until the trade deadline, we probably go 2-4 or 3-3 these 6. A record more likely to make us sellers at the deadline if we can get assets back, I don't want to see any Quinn for Jamal Crawford deals unless it includes a pick or CLee for George Hill. I've never been impressed with the Knicks front office and so far all I've seen is a top heavy staff of fat cats so maybe this trade deadline they can change my opinion of them by turning CLee LT and Quinn into something the Knicks can use for the future.
I want to keep Quinn !!!

CHI assumes the 12 mil cap hit next year (Omar and Mirotic contract basically identical), pays remaining portion of this year?s salary AND gives up a good player.... all to get the 15th pick (or something close to this).
Not seeing why CHI is doing this, other than condoning behavior of Bobby Portis.... and moving on and forward.... anyway, this is good news for NYK bc this might mean 5 more Ls or more this season for da Bulls.
From NO?s perspective, they dealt a 1st to dump a useless contract and to bring in a rotation player.... would we send away a protected first to dump Noah and bring in a rotation player?

Woj is reporting the Pels/Bulls deal is not happening for now. Mirotec has a no trade clause in the first year of his deal and a team option in his second, doesn't want to go to the Pels unless he's guaranteed next year's salary. NO may need his cap space if they re-sign Cuz making him reluctant to OK the trade.
If I was Washington and Cleveland, I?d just ride these injuries out. Both Wall and Love should be back in time for the playoffs. I?m guessing these injuries don?t really affect us much.

Next season, keep waiting
What's up Kiyaman! Do you really think we need to get rid of Hornacek? I have no idea why Rambis is still around.
Hornecek would not have been my pick as coach. I would have fired Phil and hired Tibs. I just don't like this trend of bringing on new coaches every 3 to 5 years. The team's not going to get any better over the next year years. We're lottery bound. Might as well keep the guy until we get the right pieces then send him is walking papers for the coach we want.
One .. the Knicks need to hire a decent assistant head coach with the capabilities of being a head coach.
Two .. The Knicks do need a permanent head coach .. Hornacek is not that coach!
I wish our front office had the power to give the next Knicks head coach a contract similar to the contract the Detroit Pistons gave to SVG
The Knicks on/off defense plus their road record spells TANKING .. The Knicks making a trade before deadline with either Cavs or Wizard may help them.
if we take our 3 or 4 point guards, and make them into one, their skills still would be sorely lacking...don't see it as a help...
