Official 2017 Knicks Offseason thread, Phil Jackson gone

[you go boy]

Wow we just used all our MLE on Baker. I guess no rondo lol

 

[floodarea]

If Melo ends up leaving, Lee leaving will follow that up most likely and Rondo will most definitely be here

Ron Burgundy must be Dolan's illegitimate son

At least they're all in on the tank now for sure

Just hope those multi-years deals don't take up cap space when it's really needed.

Ron could've probably been signed for like $3-5 mil tho

Knicks could have signed Baker for cheap but they renounced the right to Baker's rookie contract to make THJr signing work

 

[don ramon]

totally fine with ron baker getting two yrs. 

thjr though i don't know

Good ole guitar Jimmy

They renounced the extension of his rookie contract....to overpay a rookie they drafted and traded away...for a washed up player, who's contract they would later renounce...so they can sign that first player back to another overpaid contract?

The L's are overflowing, B.

I guess the money doesn't matter at this point but this is ineptitude and mismanagement of the highest order.

I like Baker but giving him $9M is stupid as ****.

Who were we competing against?

 

[d3si]

I was wondering why they renounced the right to Baker

If the Knicks didn't renounce Baker, Knicks would have $699,423 in cap space

Unfortunately, Knicks will not be able to resign Baker because of lack of bird rights due to Baker's NBA experience. You need at least 2 years of NBA experience to have bird rights

we have no backcourt... like no offense, no defense.... we are gonna get boards but the lane will be wide open cause of the matadors in that backcourt... 

Hopefully baker can step up a bit and play like he did at the end of the season for 20 mins a game

 

[clyde the glide]

Thats a steal for Ron baker the shot maker

 

[throwback1718]

First celebration should be getting a haircut.

 

[Hahahaha]

9 mil?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHAH, is it a ten year deal?!?!? Hahahahaha, this duckin team son. Hahahaha

Wifey texts me, I'm starting to understand these Knicks memes now.

Yeah, we are a ****** meme organization. A big ****** joke.

 

[donewithjs]

I always forget that Pookie is still on our team.

 

[ballinsam23]

LMFAO at "is it a 10 year deal"

This team is just throwing money for the sake of it.

 

[the 718 truth]

Wait that was the MLE? My head hurts

 Thoughts on this?

I agree with that reddit user

he getting braided up as we speak. the white answer.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Bruh.

We definitely could have got something better off the scrap heap if we had held onto our midlevel and let Baker walk.

I guess they're banking on him improving by leaps and bounds and having his bird rights to resign him.

This franchise, man.

 

[nick.]

We're about to win 24 games & be capped out next summer :x

 

[squatchnt]

Those who WANTED to go for the worst record in the league should be excited we are on our way. Still like BRB meh....

I paid a lot of money to be sitting behind the basket for opening day last year. Not doing that again this upcoming year.

Not after Melo & Lee are traded
