JR is great value. He is frustrating, but for those who don't think he is consistent enough for a 4-year deal, keep in mind he has excelled in the same role his entire career. From a year to year basis, he has actually been very consistent because we know what he will bring, the good and the bad.

Sure, everyone already knows that some players have worse contracts

We got JR on a very favorable contract. It was the most we could offer and he accepted it. With JR, and now Metta WP, and hopeefully KMart, we have a chance to go to the finals.

In addition to KMart I hope the Knicks keep Murry and maybe bring Barron back. Also, someone else should slip through the cracks and have to sign a vet mini. Alan Anderson was supposed to be going to the Nets before they signed AK. He would be a great addition.

It wasn't so much about the annual salary but the length of the deal. Most players with JR's numbers (during the regular season) getting this type of deal wouldn't bother me. I am concerned about his approach to the game now that he has his money. Not unfair to wonder considering his history. Hope he proves all the doubters wrong. I want him to succeed.

JR is a steal for what the Knicks are paying him.

Knicks now have JR, Felton, Shumpert, & Artest on very favorable contracts.
Teams with cap space and no foundation will have a hard time prying Melo away from us after moves like these.

Good point about keeping Melo satisfied and staying here. Melo is friends with and likes JR. Also now he is surrounded by top defensive players - Tyson, Metta, Shump which balances Melo 's tremendous offensive skills.

my only issue is giving him 4 years. 2 years would have been fine

I think JR is much more talented than

Kyle Korver
Reddick
Kevin Martin

who all make more money than him
It is JR's off the court issues, BB IQ, willingness to take bad shots, mental approach, and poor playoffs performance that cost him the money

Even OJ Mayo makes 8m a year and I think JR can out play him, especially on DEF

I just can NOT complain about what he doesn't do for the amount of money he will make and the way he took less to stay in NYK for 2 straight years
Hope he turns it around and will not repeat the same mistake this year in the play offs
He improved GREATLY LAST SEASON in ALL AREA'S of his game and if it wasn't for his poor play offs performance, we would not be even having this conversation or would he still be a Knick

At his contract, he will have the chance to continue to improve, make up for his mistakes, and still be an asset/value for us to keep or possibly trade in the future

The big one doesn't win sixth man of the year and isn't the second option on a 54 win team.

so, being injured is NO LONGER an excuse. I see how this works.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

JR's a risk, for sure. He had by far his best year last season -- in terms of maturity and playing smart ball -- but still was unreliable. That said, he's one of the top 10 athletes in the game, imo. He does things that make me pick up the dvr remote more than any other knick, that's for sure.

I think the upside is worth the risk. He could be an all star, and having one at a bench player's salary gives a team all sorts of flexibility. He also could implode. In which case, it's a big but not huge hole in our salary cap.

I'd do the signing, for sure. I would have preferred 2 or 3 years to 4, but who knows if that was available.
