would yall be mad if we renigged on the derrick williams deal though? or if monroe renigged and decided to come to NY? i dont think so. i feel bad for the mavs and DJ's credibility is shot, but its not like he signed the contract and was like "naw b, im going back to LA". a man's word isnt worth what it used to be.
 
i'm good on gerlad green he's had one good year his entire career and with a bump in usage last year he stunk. for a team like miami when his role is limited, not a bad pickup, for us, he's not worth it.
 
What a higher salary cap means for Knicks
8h
Ian Begley, ESPN Staff Writer

The NBA salary cap was set Wednesday night at $70 million, which is $3 million higher than projected.

Here's what that means for the New York Knicks:

Extra $3 million? Assuming the salaries the Knicks have agreed upon with free agents don't change, New York now has approximately $67 million in committed salaries for 2015-16.

That includes cap holds for rookies Kristaps Porzingis ($3.4 million) and Jerian Grant ($1.3 million) and agreed-upon contracts for Robin Lopez (four years, $52 million), Arron Afflalo (two years, $16 million), Derrick Williams (two years, $10 million) and Kyle O'Quinn (four years, $16 million).

If the terms of the agreed-upon deals don't change, the Knicks will have approximately $3 million to offer free agents.

They also have the $2.8 million room exception available.

What about Shved? The Knicks' boost in cap space may help in their negotiations with free-agent guard Alexey Shved.

The Knicks offered Shved a deal that was near the veterans minimum earlier in free agency, league sources say. Shved turned the deal down. Shved also turned down a veterans minimum deal from at least two other teams, according to sources.

As of Wednesday, the Knicks had not offered Shved their $2.8 million exception.

That may change now that the Knicks have more financial flexibility thanks to the cap increase.

New York has five roster spots open. The team needs to sign at least three more players. (This projection includes Langston Galloway, who is on a partially-guaranteed contract but is expected to be on the opening-night roster.)

In addition to Shved, the Knicks have been in touch with center Lou Amundson and small forward Lance Thomas. Earlier in free agency, they expressed interest in guard John Jenkins. But Jenkins is not believed to be a strong candidate for the Knicks' remaining roster spots, sources say.

Ricky Ledo and Thanasis Antetokounmpo hope to earn roster spots with strong performances in summer league play.

Amar'e to Miami? Ex-Knick Amar'e Stoudemire has garnered interest from the Miami Heat, league sources say. Stoudemire and the Heat hadn't scheduled a formal meeting as of Wednesday evening, per sources.

Stoudemire, the ex-Knick, has also drawn interest from the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers. Now that DeAndre Jordan has chosen to re-sign with the Clippers, the Mavericks seem like a feasible option for Stoudemire.

I been saying if our last years starters are our bench this year were in a solid place. I really believe in Galloway as a 12ppg player off the bench. He's much better than Shump. Really wanted another shooter though. Shoulda have overpaid Neal or Alan Anderson.
 
This Chinese market is going nuts right now! Nice to see they're experiencing their own 08'-09' crash. Should serve as a buying opp for all you guys with extra cash under your mattresses.

I'm feeling so good about this, I might go Asian tonight. I spoil myself :lol:

I would normally agree but teams burn players all the time, nice to see someone return the favor
 
Teams trading/burning players is not the same. Thats part of the game (trades).

But agreeing to a contract verbally and then backing off the way DJ did it is unethical and ***** made. Especially the whole not answering texts/calls and not allowing the Mavs give 1 more pitch.
