not necessarily true. if we can get two max guys - then yes, we'll renounce all their rights. BUT, we don't have to renounce their rights until July 9th. we should know by then if we're getting two max guys. if not, i have a feeling they'll bring back Sergio, House and David Lee and maybe even Tmac and sign one max guy. we'll see. but the notion that these guys are all 30 game rentals and nothing more may not be accurate.

Don't their cap #'s change if you resign them for less?

So if McGrady really did want to stay, rather than renounce you would resign him for $4.5m and then that would be his #, not the $23m it is now, or will be once he is a free agent.

Yes. At the beginning of FA his cap number will be $23. If he is resigned for 4.5M his cap number becomes 4.5M. Same with the others.

it's funny tho, our rooks are customarily called trash after not even playing 30 games & we got guys high on the Sergio Rodriguez's of the world... just doesn't make much sense to me.

Yea,it is called the "grass is greener syndrome".. A lot of knicks fans are infected and have been for years... Not saying in this case with enyspree, but in general..

he's a guy that myself, eny and finestrg have been pining for, for a while. i think sergio bring alot to the table and he's never played more than 15.3mins a game and i think part of the reason was that his style of play was the direct opposite of the way that nate mcmillan wants to play up there in portland. then he went to sacto where they already have ty evans so he wasn't going to play there.

i think here, he'll have the freedom that his game relies and i think he'll play pretty well, how well? i guess we'll see, but i think he'll do well here.

i don't think if sergio was our starting point that we would be pining for duhon. i'm sorry, i don't.

Plus... he is my friend from Rio.

24 and 12 baby.

Guys have come in the league and take it by storm for you guys to appreciate a talent. I'm hoping Sergio can prove he can play this game and become our pg.

Yeah, that is what I noticed. This guy does not seem lighting quick at all. But he does seem to have a good handle, is not afraid to drive to the hole, and looks like an above-average passer. I have no doubt he is an upgrade over Duhon. The only question is whether he can be a starting pg on a contending team.

I can't think of any PG in the league thats not an upgrade over duhon
