I am thinking right now, though Monroe is a UFA?
Should we use some money to test some FA's though it will piss some GM's off if we do so and read that GM's, TEAM's, Owner's, are all not too fond on Phil Jackson and New York Knick's to begin with
Wanting to see us fail....

Like Ernes Kanter, Middleton, Jimmy Butler *to do a deal similiar to Chandler Parsons so that he could be a FA in 2 seasons with a PLAYER option on 3rd year, and a no trade clause for year 1 at the MAX*

Maybe even test Mike Muscula if Atlanta uses the max money early? and will eventually need to pay Horford and Dennis Schroedder....
Could be a poison pill this summer, which will look like NOTHING by year 3 anyway...

We want to fully utilize our cap space against competitors but would rather someone else do the dirty work as we are one of the more hated franchise by other TEAMS/GM's and we lack picks/assets to NOT GIVE A CRAP
If we had assets and young players team would deal with us anyway, however, if we lack flexiblity, they will continue to make us overpay like we did after we acquired CA for scrubbs like Camby, Felton, AB *though this one was on CAA and Woodson*

I think Porzingis will be a star in New York. More elite GM's believe in his talent than any other player in this draft.

On Porzingis,
Briggs, prior to his workouts, you were saying something about his bones?
And you wanted an entire medical staff to do some research or something?
Was it pure speculation or did you have a reason/proof or know of somebody that had issues?

Im sure the Knicks did that. This was my pick the day after I saw his workout and I knew how good he was. I was never privied to see him really play like that. Hes going to be great and at worst very good. He looked ectomorphic so I had some concerns but the way he moved in that workout I knew what he was.

Told you about him on the first page of the draft thread which you ignored, Johnny come lately.

Actually Nickerbocker took him in the draft game last year:) Until that draft workout I had reasonable skepticism but at the end that was my pick--bt that matters not hes a Knick and were much better off.

Per @chadfordinsider, here are Porzingis' measurements: 7'1.25" w/out shoes, 7'6 wingspan, 230 lbs. Longest wingspan in the draft.

Truly impressive physical attributes. He's very coordinated too. Usually these long kids are clumsy but he's not having any problems with his agility and movement. I hope for nothing but the best for this kid.

That was last season, the statute of limitations ran out, its in the UK bylaws, ask the mods! I was the first to mention him for this years draft I believe. BigDaddyG, mentioned him last season as well.

However, I do not think KP will be a bust and I find him genuine about wanting to practice whenever he wants/etc, wanting to be a Knick, and NOT BEING A SOFT EURO while looking up to Anthony Davis/Dirk/Gasol and mimicing them...
We need to collect talent that WANTS TO WORK like that, as Weschester is too far to drive to practice with traffic and all, pretty far away from MSG too

I think Dolan should be using a property for a new practice facility and concentrate on develoment with quality trainers/development staff/medical staff *REALLY cause ours SUCKS*/and more preventive injury exercises

Along with using his MSG channels in finding ways to generate money/exposure/business opportunities/maybe some sort of a reality TV SPORTS DOCUMENTERY type
There are quite a few MSG channels that just plays reruns and OLD MOVIES, he needs to find reasons for ALL STARS, TOP TIER GUYS and even other ways to make coming to NY worth the risk
If we can convince one TOP TIER talent, others will follow, even vet min steals, like Lebron has players following him...

he is going to remain lean and be more of a coiled spring as he further matures physically. has anyone seen how long his arms are? the kid is hardly leaving his feet for a dunk. that length is going to be very valuable on the nba level.
