I'm assuming this means Curry is very much tradeable(word?) and gone?
Otherwise your first two options aren't doable.
I went "other idea"
Nope. Didn't bother with the complicated side yet I've never said Curry is tradeable in fact the opposite so don't look to put such things into the equation this is not intended to be a dynamic fact intensive thread. It's meant to look at the makeup of the team some fans are desiring.
However, since you put it out there, Curry doesn't have to go to make any scenario happen as Jared could be moved to make necessary cap room. We're that close. It's been broken down on here a few times to show it. That's kind of besides the point. I'm not playing GM nor do I intend to so this doesn't have to work in a trade checker to validate the idea behind the poll.
You said both scenarios do not work. I beg to differ as Joe Johnson does not get a max contract. He's not that level of talent. 43% shooting isn't worth 20M a year. That's why I threw his name in there as an option to show the options. If someone thinks so it sure better not be the Knicks.
This was more to illustrate that we don't have to hit two max FA home runs. If we sign Lee to a decent contract, who else do we add and who is to say we can't have a good team by doing so?
That's the point here. There are many options and if we do retain Lee with a sensible contract it isn't the end of the 2010 world. In fact the poll arose on the idea that Lee would more than likely be retained by the Knicks unless he gets a ludicrous offer and what that means for the makeup of our roster.
Since you chose "other idea" is there more to that idea? Or was that your way of saying this poll sucks?
Besides, that's what the final selection was meant for.
