Two Tone Shoes posted:Probably not exciting as "CHRIS PAUL THINKS ABOUT THINGS" but word for the Pels is that it seems more likely Jrue would sign with the team but the Pels might have to try to bring in Justin Holiday to seal the deal. Lost in the hubbub about PJaxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but, from what I was reading throughout the season is that Justin is a quality bench 3&D player. He is 28, though. His early bird salary (I have no idea what this means) with the Knicks is 7.8M and, from what I understand, they would like to keep him.

Melo aside, firing Jackson means they probably don't trade Porzingis, which the best move for their future.

I put whatever team has Chris Paul at #2 behind Cleveland in the LeBron Likely 2019 Playing Place. So that is a reason to sign him.

His early bird salary (I have no idea what this means) with the Knicks is 7.8M and, from what I understand, they would like to keep him. It's a Bird Rights exception you get after 2 years, but its limited by how much you can pay. So in this case, they can offer up to 7.8M and have it under the exception. If they go over that, they need to sign him under cap room instead. Having watched him on the Bulls he seems like a lower-end rotation player who plays okayish-to-good defense. Not the end of the world as far as 8 million goes. euphronius posted:Woj is going to be ESPN insider lol He'll tweet out encrypted rumors. Become an ESPN insider and get the decryption key.

Apparently Houston is calling around looking for teams with cap space so they can dump Ryan Anderson. They appear to be pretty confident in their CP3 chase. Why would Chris Paul go to Houston though? I don't think that's his best destination at all.

Apparently Chris Broussard didn't vote for Avery Bradley all defensive team because Booker scored 70 against the Celtics. Bradley didn't play that game.

Mutually agreeing to part ways because of a hosed up situation that is entirely your own fault might as well be getting fired.

Under no circumstances should Melo receive a buyout anywhere near the value of his contract If he wants to get all that money he should waive his NTC, or be a bench player for the Knicks

ragle posted:Under no circumstances should Melo receive a buyout anywhere near the value of his contract ITT we take hard line stances on a literal multi billionaires cash savings that has zero effect on the cap situation on the team. Like you are going to have to pay him his money one way or another. Amd its in the Knicks best interest to lose and let Zingis be the focal point of the team. Melo being around only stunts his potential growth while also winning you more games than you want to win. Its why I hope the Bulls jettison Wade this off-season with a buyout or something. Wade and Melo are still good enough to win you a couple of games that are inexplicably close at the end.That for lottery sloting you probably want to lose.
