How do you command 12 mil a year when you don't even average 12 ppg?

 

[nick.]

$1M for every ppg

 

[johnnyredstorm]

We can spend an extra mill and gamble on Wes Matthews **** Afflalo

How do you command 12 mil a year when you don't even average 12 ppg?

and your PER is even less

phil would be an IDIOT to sign afflalo for any more than 7mil per

We can spend an extra mill and gamble on Wes Matthews **** Afflalo

yeah id rather take a chance on wes, but at maybe a 2 year deal.

 

[hsalem]

Caldo

Afflalo

Melo

Zinger

This doesn't look terrible

This. I was against spending big bucks on an injury risk but I would MUCH rather pay for what Wes can be than what Afflalo is. **** I'd rather give Wes $15 mil than Afflalo $12 mil, if that is where the market is heading. Idc where the market goes, Wes aint making more than $15 mil.

seriously this is ridiculous.

 

[phamo]

Down for Monroe, but what is this Afflalo

 

[the gr8est]

seriously this is ridiculous.

**** it, might as well give the money to Wade for 50 games 

 

[johnnyredstorm]

40 wins max

5-6 seed easily

Not saying much in the East

Stay away from Afflalo dude isn't worth the money.

 

[the gr8est]

I want Jerian Grant to start year 1 more so than I want Zinger to start year 1. I would like for both of them to start, but **** starting Caldo again. JG is 23 years old, dude is ready. No point in having him sit on the bench behind ******* Calderon.

I get the whole "winning the job" mentality as opposed to handing it over to a rookie. But Knicks need to get Grant out there from the jump. Calderon belongs in a vet off the bench role right now.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Grant is ready to start.

 

[8pm at msg]

Grant is a legit PG.

 

[nick.]

gotta remember Grant's 22 years old with an NBA ready body..

he could average 10/4/5 on 43/36/81 with starters minutes

 

[the gr8est]

Oladipo never ran the point at IU. Yogi Ferrell was their PG. Jerian Grant was probably the 2nd best PG in the NCAA this season after Russell. Grant has great court vision and is exceptional at running the pick and roll. Grant's team was also much better than DLo's.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Grant's a clear cut leader with onions.

 

[the gr8est]

Grant's a clear cut leader with onions.

Agreed. Also had an amazing assist to turnover ratio. That is a great sign for his future as a point guard.

 

[8pm at msg]

He's better than Timmy and he hasn't even played a game yet

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I don't expect him to have a great career by any means, but he can be a solid 10 year pro you never have to worry about. Type of guy you know will do his job and make the right play. Won't excite you, but he'll hit a big shot here and there.

Sounds pretty much like the exact description of the type of PG Phil goes after
