A 3yr deal between $1-1.5mil per year

Well all I can say let this be another example

Of what Phil can expect this summer with other free agents

One of the things I don't like about the Amundson and Lance situation

If they remain for the rest of season they will come with a cap hit

If we renounce them at season's end like Galloway anyone can sign them once free

They simply seem like a no high reward options here

Galloway needs to be locked up and we need to call up Thanasis and sign him

But Phil is sweating bullets over $800k guaranteed for this kid?

Sure its a lot more complicated then that though

Galloway would be signed by another team. Thanasis's rights belong to the Knicks so nothing can happen to him.

I thought Galloway was a protected d-leaguer. if he stayed there, no one could sign him except us.

No the Knicks were allowed to protect three players that they had in training camp from the d league draft. They were still free agents in regards to nba teams.

Crush ... very impressed with your d-league knowledge

this stuff is way over my head

Thanks. I love the d league especially now that the Knicks are using it. Ridiculous Upside is a great site if you want to read about it. D-League Digest and Upside and Motor are also good.

yeah ... I watched the knicks play Reno the other day. Reno blew me away with their style and efficiency.

I wish I had more time to watch more d-league. I would also love to see what morey has his d team doing. He does some crazy proof of concept testing there.

Isn't Milsap older than Thomas?

He is but Utah is a team full of babies

Whereas we're a team devoid of them at least

Not any locked up long term and-or on multi-yr deals

Elijah is also very green to the NBA whereas Thomas isn't

This isn't his first rodeo

I haven't been watching teams other than the Knicks much since Christmas break. Is Millsap playing well for the Jazz?

I saw highlights of him having at least 1 good game

Haven't seen him play live real time

I'll check him out tonight

Statistically he's contributing given the minutes

Are you really that ignorant about Thanasis??? There is NO reason to bring him up at this point and start his clock earlier than necessary. C'mon man wake up!

That could be part of the issue

But I think it has more to do with how much

Of the contract is guaranteed yr-to-yr and possibly invoking Options on the contract

I don't see a bunch of teams willing to offer him loads of guaranteed money because they can

Calderon's contract keeps on giving doesn't it?

I wouldnt use calderons contract in this, not really related at all. if anything look no further than melo's. This team will have to fill at least 12-13 spots next season, some of those guys will be cheaper contract players. The guy fits that bill imo.

Well actually Melo's contract take's a dip next yr

$1.4mil hence that should cover taking on Galloway

If Phil hadn't taken on more salary, but yes Galloway fits the bill

He should pretty much agree to whatever he wants

Why play hardball with cheap role players

The dip really matters little imo when a team has to fill almost the entire roster. A dangerous precedent may be set if Phil cant get this resolved. He's gonna need cheap marginal talent to fill out the roster, guys who mnight be able to bloom above their pay. all of the better teams have these types of players.

Agreed, you're correct precedent is being set

In negotiations with a role player, it's nip and tuck

Just think what it will be like when he as a questionable

Free agent in front of him wanting all the bacon

If Gallo wants guaranteed money then give it to him

I mean he passes up on Larkin, Acy and Wear look like after thoughts to Lou and Lance

He hasn't called up Than, so what kind of young talent do Phil and Fish like

Guess thats what happens when you hire former Pacer and Bulls employees
