Knicks should focus on Robin Lopez.

Other option is to gamble and invest cap room in Tobias Harris or Enes Kanter and hope ORL or OKC don't match.

But don't waste any more time with LMA and DeAndre Jordan. It's a waste of time at this point. We need to prove we can win here with the Triangle before a guy like DAJ or LMA will even think about signing here.

Anyways. Moving on.

Sounds like the Knicks are not putting all their eggs in the Jordan and Aldridge baskets. They already have met with R Lopez and Derrick Williams. I'm sure they'll be exploring other FA options.

i agree. offense (kanter) or defense (lopez). ideally both
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Good, at least this keeps us from getting strung along. We knew he was a long shot. Better this way than holding out for a small shot at him.

People around Jordan say blah blah. I mean wow. This is worse than "sources." Around him where? The hotel maid, maybe somebody from a flight. These reports are all worthless.

Yeah, why should the Knicks bother reading the writing on the wall when they could just dream a little dream instead.

DA said Aldridge cancelled because it was clear NY wanted him to play center. Sounds like they have a lot of faith in KP.

This is a good point. Actually somewhat of a classy move by LMA.

I love how you have convinced yourself that these reports (most of which have been wrong) give you a leg up on the execs in on the actual people involved. Who's the one dreaming?

Looks like R Lopez is up to bat. I only want players who want to be here and play in the roles we need them to play. It's not just about the individual talent but how it all works together. We want the team to be greater than the sum of it's parts.

Which reports are wrong? That LaMarcus Aldridge cancelled his meeting with the Knicks because the Knicks wanted him to play center, something Aldridge has gone on record as being against for YEARS by long time veteran NBA reporter David Aldridge? That the Knicks didn't offer the max to their #1 most realistic target Greg Monroe and he went to the Milwaukee Bucks for the max as reported by long time veteran NBA Reporter Adrian Wojnarowski?

Which one is wrong again? Please enlighten me. Awaken me from my dream and tell me what a great job Phil Jackson is doing after he blew up the team and got no assets and how the cap room was going to save us all. Wake me up from the dream. Please. Pinch me. Go ahead. Because I hope this is a bad dream and not the sad reality of the New York Knicks.

Falk said they offered the max which is substantially less than it is in Milwaukee because of taxes. Guy wants his money. That is fine by me. Clearly the Knicks had already spoken too LMA in some fashion if there are other reports that he said no bc of playing center. U def need to relax though. The contract official announcements are accurate. How's than Monroe done deal going? What about Milsep 10000% to Orlando?

Kanter is an RFA but a better fit than Monroe. Focusing (whatever that means) won't fix that.

The only sliver of hope I can come up with as far as landing Jordan is that he would be featured more
in NY than probably anywhere else, even with Melo on the roster.

I would LOVE to get Jordan here for whatever money he wants.
