Dont think KOQ was easily replaced, he'd still be our best back up big today. We sort of lucked out with Noah. Fiz literally maximized his potential.

True, but on the same token, he wasn't a dude that needed to come back by all means. Plus this is giving a lot of time to Mitch to develop.

Vonlehs play has been a nice surprise. Wasn't up on his game but didn't expect much at signing lol.

 

[paulminus]

Von can shoot 3's though, unlike Quinn. I'm actually surprised how well he's shooting. And I did wanna keep Quinn tho, he's a productive player on a good team.

 

[njavier03]

hell no to Wall. if we trade for him, we have a better chance at keeping him for the rest of his career than KP, bc no one wants to pay him that much.

 

[the 718 truth]

Franchise in desperate need of a pg. I’m just here to point out that Y’all don’t want, Kyrie, Kemba or John (bad contract notwithstanding, also not to mention the Wiz front office is clueless and the locker room toxic) but rode out extra hard for dudes like Jerian Grant and Frank NTired. Both former official NT NYK thread proclaimed “pg’s of the future”.

 

[the 718 truth]

Mans said John Wall is a terrible player

 

[ballinsam23]

4 years, $32-36M

A slight bit of an overpay, but i'd welcome it. Most surprised about his ability to switch on 1-5 than his 3pt shooting. He seems like the perfect fit next to KP.

 

[Mark Antony]

If Noah is solid in Memphis we should sue him.

 

[keko jones]

Mans said John Wall is a terrible player

He is absolutely terrible for a 41.5 million a year player (avg of next 4 years)

If you dont agree, cool.

 

[floodarea]

Friendly reminder that this dude was given a NTC

 

[squatchnt]

Doesn't Luke Kornet have the same contract structure this year?

 

[paulminus]

"Vonleh is only 23"

When Vonlehs on the floor move KP to the 5 & when Mitch on the court put KP at the 4.

Mans said John Wall is a terrible player

You think Wall is a valuable asset right now? Worth a lot?

 

[you go boy]

He's not a terrible player but that contract makes it seem that way. Trading for him would set this franchise back a few years with no cap flexibility. Remember we couldn't build around melo besides Chandler because of amare contract. Same with wall but he's getting double amare contract lol

 

[100027]

I even like Wall like I said.


""Granted, every player in this league can be traded, but the Wall extension right now is the toughest contract I have seen a team try to move in 20 years," the team executive said. "I couldn't look my owner in the eye and tell him there is value with the player even if we didn't have to trade anything of significance.""

And some people want to actually trade assets for this here

 

[slime rawstein]

Yea he’s going to be getting a contract that can pay 2 max players without the bird rights. Plus he’s already a party animal, if he comes to NYC he’s gonna be wylin’.

 

[nick.]

A slight bit of an overpay, but i'd welcome it. Most surprised about his ability to switch on 1-5 than his 3pt shooting. He seems like the perfect fit next to KP.

Yep. I'd rather overpay slightly than let him walk.

The potential of him & Porzingis on both sides of the floor is really intriguing. Hope we see it sometime this season.

 

[the 718 truth]

I didn’t even say I’d do the trade, the contract is crazy but calling him a terrible player is inaccurate

 

[njavier03]

Noah is pretty much everything Kanter is not. Therefore, let Kanter walk and give Noah a deal.

 

[njavier03]

I didn’t even say I’d do the trade, the contract is crazy but calling him a terrible player is inaccurate

I think he meant terrible considering the contract. Like how Amare was for his deal. Good player when he was healthy, but absolutely nowhere near worth the 20+ mil.
