I love that Briggs is ready to give Seth Curry, who played 12 good games for a losing team at the end of the season, $42M.

But he'd balk at giving Mike Conley, who has shut down Chris Paul and Steph Curry in the playoffs, and can actually run an offense, $84M.

Ookkkkkkaayyyyy.

I'd give him 7-8 mm whatever the mle is that's 1/3 of what Conley will get

But Briggs, you have t that it would be a huge risk to give this kid that kind of contract and with the type of bad contracts the Knicks have given out the last however many years it could be the type of risky contract that could hurt our future?? I understand that you like what the kid did in his starts he got to finish the season and i think we all like what we saw from him but is the risk worth what we saw in those games is the big question.

I'd like to role with Grant Curry Wroten and the hope we get a mid range pick. This way we can also allocatefunds to other positions.

He would be better served going to Boston, ATL, LAC.

If you can get him for two years 16MM and get Conley for 14MM over 5 then it's a different story.

I like Grant and Wroten.

How do we get a mid-range pick? Last year we had Hardaway to trade. We don't have any young assets to trade worth a mid first round pick, unless you are talking about Grant and I think you'd be hard pressed to get one for Grant right now.

Denver has 3 mid range picks I think we can offer our 2018 pick top 5 retricyed for one

Why do I want Conley for 23-24mm? It makes no sense. Why spend all that money for a triangle pg?

You just don't go throwing good money out at bad to fix a problem. Pocket that shyt and wait it out for a real stud. Conley, though above average, has never been an all star, never averaged more than 6 assists a game, never been the clear number 1 best player on his team...just way too many holes on the Knicks to plug to give all the money to a point guard.

Get a stop gap PG, and either draft one in 2017 or full court press for Russell Westbrook.

Batum - 18$M
Gasol - 14$M

Assuming Afflalo and Williams opt out.

Batum will probably get max and Gasol is old. Everyone will get overpaid this offseason.

Batum I agree likely outprices himself from what we'd want to pay. The one thing for Batum is that he's a great fit for what the Knicks like to do and what they want to do. He's got a similar set of skills and attributes to Pippen, not nearly the same level obviously, but he can pass, drive, defend and even shoot the 3. He's capable to play the 2, 3 or 4. Very versatile player. If he's smart he knows that this is a great situation for him. There's no way I'm interested in seeing the Knicks pay Batum 100$M over 4 years or anything like that. $72M over 4 years is a good offer and he's got to think about choosing a place where he can stay 3-4 years in. Depends what way he looks at it. Certainly teams like the Lakers can offer him more and maybe even his current team the Hornets give him more. Option B is Evan Turner. Who gives you similar things to what Batum does, without the same level of athleticism and without a 3 point shot. Turner wouldn't be cheap either, I think he would be getting something like $50M over 4 years.
