Resigning Thomas and dwill if opt out
If Phil can accomplish those four moves we will be contending next year for the chip.
How many years have Knicks fans been saying that we need to stop throwing all our money and giving bad contracts out to every player that's any kind of name in the NBA and build this team the right way?? We finally get a GM/president in here that has went the way of the rebuild and doing it knowing they're gonna hear all the BS from the fans and media for a couple/few years until we have a good young team and the fans and media are shytting all over Phil for it. In two years from now there's a really good chance that we have a team that will be a playoff team and hopefully more for multiple years. I know the waiting sux and going through these last couple of years sux to but i really believe Phil has this team on the right track and if we can be patient for two more years or even just be patient through next year cause there's a chance that in the 2017 off season we could be getting that final piece we'll need and be ready to compete in the 2017/18 season.
Patience people patience. We're not as far away as a lot of people seem to think we are.
If planned out right the Knicks could throw money at a FA(Derozan or Conley) and still have cap flexibility next yr. Not that these things will happen but its not the same situation as the past.
Either way your taking a risk. If you do nothing you have more cap space but will be harder to attract FAs to a perennial loser. Trying to grab something this yr to show FAs improvement and team on the rise is just as necessary.
Safe route to go would be a stop gap G/F and buy a 2nd rder for another G/F.
The biggest difference from last year to this year Phil gets to sell the next greatest player in kp.
Look kp Is going to DOMINATE this league in a few years . Now that hat we have kp we are going to win a few chips cause once this kid becomes a man he is going to destroy the NBA . You have a kid who is a curry in a 7'3 body and blocks shots like deke, his Duncan bank is deadly too. When Phil talks to free agents phil should definitely bring up 3 things we have melo. Kp is going to be the next greatest and will be contending for chips for a long time, don't forget about becoming a Ny legend and forming one of the greatest 3 headed monsters in the media capital of the world..
Thank god for Phil a and KP it's about dam time
