Dangit I go to dinner and miss all the good Knicks posting morestuff posted:To be fair that was kind of those Knicks teams' thing, not just Jackson 100% a Knicks thing, that's Clyde every game. The man loves a good pass and hates bad shot selection (although his idea of Shot Selection is that of a 70 year old man with inordinate respect for midrange 2s, but they do have to be open midrange 2s) The Frazier/Reed (and also Jackson was there too I guess) Knicks were the team that would deflate the balls to give themselves an advantage over teams that preferred to dribble. Jota posted:Agreed. I'm sick of Jackson constantly poo poo talking Melo to the media trying to shame him and get him to be annoyed enough that he would agree to waive his no trade clause or whatever. You're the dumb rear end in a top hat that signed him to the contract. NO HE DIDn'T!! THAT WAS ALREADY IN PLACE WHEN JACKSON CAME IN! This is the man was responsible for that: Melo's lovely albatross no trade clause contract is the main thing that's stopped Jackson from doing anything major with the team during his tenure as GM Melo's been dragging the team down for longer than Jackson at this point.

That's ignoring the fact that the Celtics can offer the pick before the Suns so they probably win by default if they so wish Danny never listens to me though so it's not happening

the july moratorium on free agent signings where they cant talk until july 1 and then they can negotiate and agree to deals but cant actually sign them for a couple weeks is what gave us the deandre jordan hostage crisis so i cant wait to see what this crazy offseason has in store

Vertical Lime posted:at this moment phil is being interviewed on knicks state television All of this sounds... basically reasonable? Especially the Not Intrigued part considering all of the offers I've seen so far have been teams blatantly lowballing. Suns offering Booker + 1st rounder was the closest to anything remotely acceptable and even that was a few picks short of an even deal. Sheriff posted:I don't hate myself enough to watch Knicks games, how sure of a thing is Porzingis? His stats look average, which honestly isn't a huge red flag for a guy that young on a team that bad. But he's also been injured a few times, correct? It's hard to tell because he sort of plateaued this year what with the team is a mess and Melo making everyone he plays with look bad. If you want to see him make a lot of mistakes and get completely dominated watch the Nuggets v. Knicks game from last season. Here's some lowlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71_MZMVS3FQ He's easily my favorite Knick since Tyson Chandler but he's not exactly a guaranteed top 10 player like some folks might have y'all believe.

SunshineDanceParty posted:Phil Jackson was hired in March of 2014, and Carmelo's new contract was signed in July 2014. Funny thing is they could have worked out a S&T with Chicago at the time. Bulls had assets to trade (2 firsts in that draft and Niko Mirotic) and needed an S&T to pay him the max.

Don't blame Melo for signing a contract that was placed in front of him. I don't care how unqualified you know you are, if someone is willing to sign you to large amounts of guaranteed money, you sign that poo poo. The onus is on the Front Office to not offer the player fuckoff money. The Kings figured that out, the Bulls know that which is why they are likely gonna move him before he gets the Super Hyper Max(didn't figure it out with Hoiberg though).

Reading back on it, it looks like Melo took several million less than a max in order to get the No-Trade Clause included so now I think they're all retarded

EvanTH posted:Reading back on it, it looks like Melo took several million less than a max in order to get the No-Trade Clause included Turns out Melo wasn't. He got the No trade and now is either gonna get waived or bought out by Phil Jackson. Rather than shuttled off to like Sacramento or something.

Ty1990 posted:If Danny Ainge doesn't end up with Kristaps in the next 24 hours I have no loving idea what he's waiting for in terms of cashing in his assets. Seems like he doesn't want to give up Bradley or more than 2 lottery picks and also Jaylen Brown is a shade under Greek Freak on his value chart.

Melo owns and him refusing to move on his no trade clause as a gently caress you to Phil Jackson is the greatest Also I think that off season rules so hard because it makes these multi-billionaire owns seem like they are richer version of regular people. It is like when I get a few hundred extra bucks and I am trying to justify some mechanical keyboard or some dumb poo poo that I don't actually need. When an NBA owner or GM has a heap of cap space to play with they sign Mozgov to a 60 million dollar deal 35 seconds into free agency.

if I'm the Suns I do that Chriss/bender/#4 for Porzingis deal all day As for Denver, Jokic is really good obviously and a lot of people think Murray is going to be really good. Gary Harris is solid too, but yeah given his overlap with Murray that team needs a few more pieces before it really has something approaching a full core.

Carmelo: Hmm a max contract seems goodish buy let's try angling to knock 10 mill off that price and you can give me the option to gently caress up the team for years on end when I continue declining as I have been Phil Jackson [via teleconference from Montana, staring at a dreamcatcher out of frame, pupils touching the whites of his eyes]: what... ohh yes try angle... perfect, you're really starting to udnerstand the uh and uh (accidentally minimizes the window and assumes he's ended the call) oh what'd I do.

and If anyone ever tries to tell you that arguing about sports online is a waste of time, you can point them right here where after months of bitter argument Dexo is winning me over on Phil being a senile old man. We can change each other. There is hope for the future (but not for the Knicks)
